Computerized fulfillment device with automated prioritization engine

A computer system for controlling a set of fulfillment devices, the computer system comprising:

• a high volume filler fulfillment device configured to dispense prescription drugs to complete fills;
• a unit of use fulfillment device configured to dispense prescription drugs to complete fills;
• memory hardware configured to store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• processor hardware configured to execute the instructions, wherein the instructions include:
• receiving a set of orders from a routing device, wherein each order of the set of orders specifies at least one fill;
• for each fill of a first order of the set of orders, assigning the fill to one of a set of fulfillment devices based on a type of prescription drug specified by the fill, wherein the set of fulfillment devices includes the high volume filler fulfillment device and the unit of use fulfillment device;
• for each fill of a first set of fills assigned to a first fulfillment device of the set of fulfillment devices, determining a days supply on hand for the fill, wherein the days supply on hand indicates an estimated remaining number of days of medication a user may still possess from a previously filled prescription;
• adding the first set of fills to a first sequence corresponding to the first fulfillment device;
• for each fill of the first set of fills, determining a start time based on (i) a target date of the order that specifies the fill and (ii) a priority of the order that specifies the fill, wherein the priority includes at least one of (i) the determined days supply on hand for the fill and (ii) an expedited shipping request status;
• organizing the first sequence based on the start times of the first set of fills;
• storing in a data store, for each device of the set of fulfillment devices, a sequence that specifies a plurality of fills and, for each fill of the plurality of fills, specifies (i) the start time and (ii) a corresponding order, wherein the sequence for the first fulfillment device is the first sequence;
• and
• forwarding the first sequence to the first fulfillment device,
• wherein the first fulfillment is the high volume filler fulfillment device or the unit of use fulfillment device, and the high volume filler fulfillment device or the unit of use fulfillment device dispenses prescription drugs to complete each fill in the first sequence.
