Abstract:
A pharmaceutical order filling system receives pharmaceutical orders and uses a loading device to label containers and load the labeled containers onto a pallet. The loading device is configured with at least one container drop assembly that receives containers to be labelled and loaded onto the pallet and that is in communication with a label assembly configured to print and apply labels to the containers. The loading device also includes at least one loading rotary wheel configured to receive the labelled containers and hold the labelled containers in a pick position to be moved from the pick position to a predetermined position on the pallet. The loading device may be configured to accommodate multiple sizes of containers and to consolidate multiple sizes of labelled containers into a single loading rotary wheel for loading onto the pallet.

Claim (Index 17):
A method comprising:\n receiving, through an ordering device, a plurality of pharmaceutical orders; sequentially receiving, through a container drop assembly, a plurality of containers from a container drop tube, the container drop assembly including a container drop rotary wheel; sequentially transporting, through a container conveyor, the plurality of containers to a label assembly; sequentially printing, via a label assembly, a plurality of labels in accordance with a printing sequence, each label of the plurality of labels containing information associated with a unique one pharmaceutical order of the plurality of pharmaceutical orders; placing, via the label assembly, each label of the plurality of labels on a unique one of the containers of the plurality of containers; sequentially transporting, via the container conveyor, the plurality of containers labelled with the plurality of labels to a loading rotary wheel; and sequentially removing, via a robot arm, the plurality of containers labelled with the plurality of labels from the loading rotary wheel and placing the containers onto a pallet according to a predetermined loading sequence, wherein the printing sequence corresponds to the predetermined loading sequence.
