Operation Flow

As a part of Pharmathek philosophy, Nova promotes a new direction of industrial development in which design can optimize times, cost and consumptions. The new interface is able to offer an intuitive and easy to use experience, organised in various screens that may enable the operator to perform all the functions offered by the system. In particular: "Warehouse status" enables the operator to monitor the status of the warehouse (medicines availability, boxes position, ongoing operations, etc.), including information on its normal functioning; "Load" enables the operator to enter medicines inside the warehouse; "Modify" enables the operator to edit the information of a product already present inside the warehouse or to perform the first registration of a product that is added to the system for the first time; "Unload" enables the operator to select the medicines to unload from the warehouse, according to various criteria and filters, with the possibility to choose at what exit the products should be delivered; "Search" helps the operator to research and visualize the position where a specific box is located inside the warehouse, to perform some checks and to address anomalies, if any, related to the products added to the system. Moreover, the operator is able to perform some maintenance tasks or to run queries on the warehouse to read system messages.
