In 1997, the first automatic warehouse was installed in a pharmacy in Dresden until now work 4,000 pharmacies and hospitals worldwide with the systems of Rowa.

Product portfolio

Rowa produces and sells automated warehouse for pharmacies. These systems are produced individually for every pharmacy and every hospital and store the medication boxes like in a high-bay warehouse chaotic on the size and height classes. A high level of flexibility in the dimensions of the equipment can be adapted to the spatial requirements of the pharmacy and to the required capacity.

In addition, there are extensions such as a fully automated storage or a consulting and delivery terminal for pharmacies in the advising the patient via video conference and the release of drugs by remote control. This so-called visavia system is legally controversial in Germany and, after a ruling by the Federal Administrative Court (Case No. 3 C 30.09 and 31.09 ) allowed only in part functions. Abroad, the terminal is used to full effect.
