K2
Order picking
system
Warehouse logistics on the cutting edge of technology.
The K2 order picking system –
automatically more efficient.
Providing customers with the best possible advice and support, being there for them personally and having time for them: therein lies the expertise and core responsibility of your pharmacy team. Everything else is extra, and should cause as little additional work as possible. Why burden valuable expert personnel with routine tasks – such as the sorting of medicines, the handling of returned goods or the provisioning of branch pharmacies?
The fully automatic K2 order picking system not only does all this faster but also much more efficiently. It handles logistical operations so accurately in the background that you do not have to worry about a thing. Rearranging the sliding cabinets, searching of and fetching packages, and writing off expired medicines are all consigned to the past.
The result is that you and your employees have considerably less stress and more time for consultation. No more time-consuming running back and forth: you stay in the dispensary and in contact with the customer – a clear advantage for you. And the space saved in the warehouse opens up totally new possibilities for the layout of your pharmacy.
You automatically gain more time,
efficiency and customer satisfaction.
With the K2 order picking system.
New revenue opportunities for
your pharmacy.
Technologically advanced product made
in Germany
Impressive speed, stability and safety
Maximum configurability
Our K2 order picking system makes your daily work significantly easier, faster and, above all, more efficient. And you don’t even have to make a large investment.

Supported by a strong team.
K2 order picking machines are an indispensable aid in thepharmacies of our clients – so they must be reliable. Thanks to our experience and the knowledge of mechanical engineering experts, we know how this objective can be achieved: through the close and constructive teamwork of all specialists!
The status reported by the systems can immediately be analysed and, where necessary, corrected – and this simultaneously for all currently operating and future automated systems.
The company responsible for this task is K2 Kommissionier-systeme GmbH. K2 support experts are on call daily to further improve the already above-average reliability of the systems. Reported irregularities can be tested at in-house test machines and lessons learnt are immediately put into practice. To a large extent this is done through our sophisticated remote maintenance system and hence without any effect on pharmacy operations.
Of course we also take your personal needs and suggestions into account for future development.
Our clients appreciate this – in the last satisfaction survey (August 2011), they rated us very highly!

This is how K2 functions in pharmacies.
When a sale is made, the gripper takes the required medicine in the requested packet size from the shelf and places it on the conveyor belt for handover to the customer. Sorting activities need not be interrupted – with the two-gripper system both are handled concurrently.
6
Goods withdrawal:
quick and accurate.
In the shortest possible time, the required product is at disposal. The consulting pharmacy team can find it quickly and easily – without running around searching or having to leave the dispensary. Conveyors, spiral chutes or drop tubes are all possible transfer points.
7
K2 makes it possible –
the medicine comes to
Point-of-sale, not vice versa.
Using a software tool, the system automatically searches for free shelf space the right size for each package and stores it there. This allows optimal use of available space – not one square centimetre is wasted. The storage space gained gives you the opportunity to enlarge your dispensary, set up new workstations or expand your range, for example.
Precision work on the shelf –
no more wasted shelf space.
5
All that remains is to hand over the product to the customer. The time gained can be used for pharmaceutical consulting, printing prescriptions and additional sales. And don’t forget, staying in conversation with the customer strengthens the relationship of trust and thus customer loyalty.
Key advantage: the focus
remains on the customer.
8
The control unit with integrated warehouse management and maintenance: both the basic settings for the system and the commands are simply entered daily by TFT touch screen. There is no guesswork, and mistakes are virtually eliminated – thanks to a clear, intuitive user interface.
One touch for every step –
it doesn’t get easier than this.
3
Economical. Progressive. Cost-saving.
The warehousing module correctly executes all actions associated with the intake of goods. It comprises an automatic transfer unit, an ultrasound measurement with integrated position detection and validity check, and the transfer lift to the warehousing buffer.
Accept, check, forward –
all done automatically.
4
Together with experts we determine specific financial needs and we calculate the profability of the system. The result should be the best financial and technical solution for the pharmacy

Planning and financing –
Optimization from the beginning
From the installation and commissioning of the system to training and instruction, our staff will assist from the start and guide you through the simplified processes.
