The SPS Fair will serve as an exclusive opportunity for industry professionals to witness Schneider Electric's vision for the future of automation and engage with the company's experts to gain valuable insights into the next generation in automation technology.
Gollman Storage and Retrieval System: designed for fully automatic storage and dispensing of medicines in pharmacies, Schneider Electric customer Gollman’s storage and retrieval system features key benefits including space saving - due to patented roller cabinet technology - allowing up to 50% more product storage on the same floor space compared to conventional machines. Staff can focus entirely on customers without leaving them to retrieve medication, enabling more time for up- and cross-selling.
The system also provides safety benefits by automatically outsourcing expired medications, offering financial advantages through potential returns to wholesalers. Additionally, it simplifies tasks such as inventory management. With the expected shortage of pharmacists in the coming years, this system addresses crucial operational needs in the pharmacy industry.
Flying Gears: The demo features the new Modicon M660, the advanced industrial PC (IPC) Motion controller with data management, along with the Modicon Edge I/O NTS.
