Abstract

A system includes a conveyor and a computing device in communication with the conveyor. The conveyor has a plurality of carriers that are moved about and between at least one automated prescription picking system and at least one automated prescription packing system. Each carrier of the plurality of carriers is configured to receive at least one prescription from the at least one automated prescription picking system and deliver the at least one prescription to the at least one automated prescription packing system. The computing device includes at least one processor and a memory in communication with the at least one processor. The memory includes instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to: associate an identifier with each prescription of the at least one prescription; and track contents of each carrier of the plurality of carriers.
