How much does a robot cost?

The investment costs for an order picking machine can be calculated in the form of purchase, maintenance, interest and depreciation from the total investment volume.

What acquisition costs should I expect?

One-time purchase price

Depending on whether your individual circumstances require a standardized, individualized or modularly expandable solution, there is a one-time purchase price.

Extensions and optional equipment

Depending on the need, personal wishes and technical feasibility, costs for extensions arise. For example:

– partially- or fully automated input
– additional picking head
– additional storage modules
– Dispensing trays
– Conveyor systems

Monthly charges

The costs of the service and maintenance contracts must be taken into account on a monthly recurring basis. This includes the 24-hour hotline. Various additional options can be added.

Operating cost

The last point we would like to mention is energy and operating costs. For our ApoStore solutions, we rely on resource-saving technology and are leaders in consumption value comparison.

1. Longevity
2. Low consumption
3. Recyclability
4. General overhaul
5. Customizability

What happens next?

If, after a detailed analysis with our consultants, a positive overall picture emerges and nothing stands in the way of purchasing a picking system, your bank and tax advisor will help you with all questions relating to financing.

If you like, we can provide support here by providing appropriate contact persons.

    Is a dispensing machine worth it?

    If you have already asked yourself these questions, it will help to take a look at the 5 biggest factors that you can sustainably influence with order picking technology. 

    What opportunities are there for my pharmacy?

    Skilled labor and staff shortages

    • More flexible personnel planning
    • Reduction of overtime
    • Quieter work in front and back office
    • More consultation time with the customer and thus higher customer loyalty
    • Modern, attractive workplace

    Space requirement

    • Use premises (existing space) cleverly
    • Significantly higher storage capacity with the same floor space
    • The machine can also be placed in the basement or upper floor
    • Clearing of excess stocks in storage and cellar rooms
    • Optimization enables conversion / modernization of the pharmacy

    Optimization of workflows and processes

    « The most important thing is to look at the pharmacy holistically. For example, even for a below-average pharmacy, a small order picker can be worthwhile, provided there is a specific need that can be met (e.g. due to a lack of staff). »

    Peter Schütz, Head of Sales Coordination

    • No more inventory differences due to reconciliation with inventory management
    • The pack with the shortest expiry is always removed from storage (FEFO – First Expired, First Out)

    • Increase in delivery capability
    • Change in ordering behaviour (wholesale/direct)
