METHOD FOR RELIABLY FILLING A TRANSPORT BOX HAVING A PLURALITY OF ACCOMMODATING COMPARTMENTS BY USING AN OUTPUT/INPUT STATION THAT SEQUENTIALLY PROVIDES MEDICAMENT PACKS FROM AN AUTOMATED STORAGE SYSTEM, AND OUTPUT/INPUT STATION THEREFOR

摘要

A method for filling a tray with individual medicine portions, which are removed from medicament packs that are provided from an automated storage system by means of an output/input station, is provided. A target filling of accommodating compartments of the tray is provided to a control device, which determines the medicament packs to be removed from storage and the sequence of the removal. For removal, a medicament pack is placed on a first transfer position of the output/input station by an operating device, transported to an output position by a first transport device as soon as the output position is free, and removed from the output position. Individual portions are removed from the medicament pack and introduced into respective accommodating compartments of the tray as indicated by an indicating device. The medicament pack is transported to a second transfer position by a second transport device.
