CountAssist
A reliable counting technology that streamlines vial filling, CountAssist is the most cost-effective counting automation on the market.
Each compact cabinet contains 18 canisters, each with its own locked chute, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring the security of your patients.
Its slim, one-sided design makes CountAssist perfect for installation in any size dispensary. You can easily add cabinets to expand the system based on your prescription volume or as you grow.
CountAssist sets a new standard in vial filling that is quickly becoming the most efficient choice of national pharmacy chains and independent owners alike.
Since CountAssist is only accessed from the front and needs minimal space, I was able to install two cabinets in my pharmacy. It’s simple to use, so it got my staff comfortable with automation. Now our counts are more accurate and our efficiency has improved thanks to the system’s reliability.
