CareFusion offers customized solutions with the Rowa automation systems for automated medication handling in hospitals, pharmacies, online pharmacies and wholesalers. More than 5,500 systems worldwide have been produced by CareFusion at their Kelberg/Eifel location, installed on-site and maintained during live operation. Rowa automats are fully automated to register, store and pick medications in compact spaces. In the area of pharmaceutical picking, Rowa systems are often used for medium to slow movers, and in BTM or cold storage areas. Thanks to the intelligent software application, they can be integrated into existing software and hardware solutions.

This includes manual as well as semi-automatic and highly automated solutions such as A-Frame automats for picking fast movers, the Schäfer Miniload System and Schäfer Carousel System for storing and picking medium movers or for consolidating orders, in addition to the Batch Pick’n Scan sorter for registering and sorting a wide range of products. Individual work stations for processing and picking, conveying systems, handling systems, racks, storage and transport loading units and customized software solutions round out the product pallet. SSI Schäfer is the single source for everything from planning, implementation, and start-up to operational assistance services.
