Prescription Filling Robot GUI
The McKesson APS Accuscript Pharmacy Robot is a minimal footprint robot designed for the retail pharmacy market (CVS, Walgreens, etc.) The Accuscript can automatically fill prescriptions from over 200 stocked medications at speeds of up to 100 fills per hour. Through the Graphic User Interface (GUI), the operator controls and monitors all aspects of the prescription scheduling, filling and checking process. This interface gives the operator control over how the robot fills the prescriptions so that they can customize the processes to provide peak efficiency. The sizing and layout of the controls were optimized for the touch screen application. Colors and layout were carefully developed to quickly convey machine status to the operator, whether they are standing in front of the robot or viewing the display from a distance.
McKesson and Daedalus Excel collaborated closely on the project, with McKesson leading product definition, back-end programming and database management, and Daedalus Excel leading graphic design, user experience architecture, and human factors. Daedalus Excel worked with Slaymaker Systems to program and deliver a GUI module that would interface with the McKesson's machine interface. |
