Apparatus for removing drug packs delivered possibly randomly in collecting containers and for passing said drug packs to a computer-controlled pharmacy store comprising: - a scanner camera which produces an image of the drug packs still in the collecting container, - a gripping lifter which lifts the individual drug packs out of the collecting container under computer control on the basis of the image respectively produced by the scanner camera, and - a measuring and reading device for measuring the individual drug packs and for identifying the individual drug packs by means of their labelling, characterised in that the scanner camera is arranged upwardly on a drawer shelf arrangement which contains drawers serving as collecting containers and a drawer lift with which the still full drawers of the drawer shelf arrangement are moveable into a position under the scanner camera and the respectively emptied drawers are moveable back into the drawer shelf arrangement, - the gripping lifter is fixed moveably in a horizontal plane above the collecting container disposed in the drawer lift and above a transfer station to a computer-controlled guide device and is vertically displaceable relative thereto, wherein associated with the lower end of the gripping lifter is on the one hand a travel limit switch which terminates a vertical displacement of the gripping lifter in a direction towards the drug packs when the drug pack to be gripped is reached and on the other hand a suction head which serves for fixing the drug packs and which can be connected to a vacuum by way of a suction tube in the gripping lifter and is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the gripping lifter so that the computer-controlled gripping lifter can lift the individual drug packs out of the collecting container and feed same to the transfer station, and - associated with the transfer station are the measuring and reading device for measuring and identifying the drug pack in the transfer station and a transfer device for transfer of the measured and identified drug pack to a downstream-disposed computer-controlled pharmacy store. - a scanner camera which produces an image of the drug packs still in the collecting container, - a gripping lifter which lifts the individual drug packs out of the collecting container under computer control on the basis of the image respectively produced by the scanner camera, and - a measuring and reading device for measuring the individual drug packs and for identifying the individual drug packs by means of their labelling, - the gripping lifter is fixed moveably in a horizontal plane above the collecting container disposed in the drawer lift and above a transfer station to a computer-controlled guide device and is vertically displaceable relative thereto, wherein associated with the lower end of the gripping lifter is on the one hand a travel limit switch which terminates a vertical displacement of the gripping lifter in a direction towards the drug packs when the drug pack to be gripped is reached and on the other hand a suction head which serves for fixing the drug packs and which can be connected to a vacuum by way of a suction tube in the gripping lifter and is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the gripping lifter so that the computer-controlled gripping lifter can lift the individual drug packs out of the collecting container and feed same to the transfer station, and - associated with the transfer station are the measuring and reading device for measuring and identifying the drug pack in the transfer station and a transfer device for transfer of the measured and identified drug pack to a downstream-disposed computer-controlled pharmacy store.
