Abstract

This paper presents the design and the realization of an automated drug dispensing prototype system, of 16 types, this system was inspired by the French automaton 'ApotéKa' which uses the Free Fall flow-rack AS/RS (FF-flow-rack AS / RS). The system realized is based on servomotors to provoke the free fall of the drugs towards a conveyor that transports them. A PCA968 module, which is controlled by Arduino Mega2560 through PC, the presence, pilots the servomotors, or an infrared obstacle sensor detects the absence of the boxes in the bins.
