Omnicell UK & Ireland, a leader in transforming the pharmacy and nursing care delivery model, has entered into an agreement with Gollmann, a leading German manufacturer for pharmacy robotic storage and dispensing solutions, to offer Gollmann’s cutting-edge technology as part of Omnicell’s retail and central pharmacy solutions portfolio.

In today’s challenging economic landscape, most community pharmacies and hospitals are under increasing pressure to enhance patient safety while meeting stringent regulatory requirements for pharmacy operations. Combining Omnicell’s expertise with Gollmann’s pioneering technologies is intended to drive better medication management workflows by streamlining real-time dispensing and loading activities, delivering greater efficiency and improved outcomes.

“Omnicell is dedicated to delivering software and automation solutions that healthcare providers need that are designed to help ensure safe, efficient medication and supply management across the healthcare continuum,” said Nnamdi Njoku, Omnicell’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

“Through strategic relationships with technology leaders like Gollmann, and others announced earlier this month with TrackTraceRX, LSPedia, and Follett, we are growing our solutions portfolio as we seek to meet the evolving needs of our global customers, while being focused on driving greater efficiency and working to improve patient safety across hospital and retail settings.”

Gollmann has been developing and producing custom automation solutions for both community pharmacies and hospitals since 2006, with over 3,000 robotic installations. Expected benefits of the Gollmann automation solutions include:

  • Superior storage efficiency and productivity per unit area; With patented rolling storage technology that is compact and modular, the Gollmann solution stores up to 50 per cent more products within the same floor space compared to other conventional robots.
  • Numerous add-on solutions; Gollmann offers an array of add-on solutions designed to help alleviate daily logistical challenges such as automatic-loading, service counter dispensation, and expiry date recognition, which should save valuable time for pharmacy staff, and help to allow them to focus on providing face-to-face customer support.
  • Systematic and regular maintenance; Gollmann solutions can be adapted to match pharmacy growth and the future evolution of the profession.

Daniel Gollmann, CEO and founder of Gollmann, commented: “Our Gollmann robotic storage and dispensing systems are leaders in productivity. We’re thrilled to be working with Omnicell as we aim to deliver a comprehensive offering that is designed to drive efficiency and innovation through tailored automation solutions.”
