  • Abstract
    This project expresses an idea about distribution medicines by using intelligent system which is included an information system, auto-guided vehicles (AGVs), a robot dispensing. However, this paper is intent to focus and narrow on the robot dispensing system. A robot dispensing system is to minimize staff worked load, increased effectiveness and decrease error. An observation in hospital was performing before implementation the system. Data was collected before and after implantation. All of data were analyzed. By the data continuously collected 30 working days in the hospital. The results are obviously shown that using dispensing robot system is able to minimize concerned problem, increased time efficiency almost 2 times compared with traditional procedure. Dispensing Robot System is trend to improving a management of drug distribution in drug storage. Moreover, staffs in this department are very satisfying this system because of useful for their working process.
