Dispensing machine

Request medication at any time

This vending machine dispenses over-the-counter medicines even when all pharmacies are closed. Up to 800 boxes can be managed.
The user requests the medication via touchscreen, pays for it in cash or by a cashless method and is then given it in the dispensing compartment.
The drylin® linear guides ensure that the packs actually end up there. These have the advantage that they do not require external lubrication and are therefore practically maintenance-free.
