Systems and methods for automated prescription preparation

A system comprising:

• a conveyor comprising a plurality of carriers, wherein the conveyor is configured to move the plurality of carriers about and between at least one automated prescription picking system and at least one automated prescription packing system, wherein each carrier of the plurality of carriers is configured to receive at least one prescription from the at least one automated prescription picking system and deliver the at least one prescription to the at least one automated prescription packing system;
• a computing device in communication with the conveyor, wherein the computing device comprises at least one processor and a memory in communication with the at least one processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
• associate an identifier with each prescription of the at least one prescription;
• track contents of each carrier of the plurality of carriers, wherein the contents of each carrier of the plurality of carriers are one of:
• empty;
• or
• one or more prescriptions, each prescription of the one or more prescriptions having an identifier associated therewith;
• and
• an optical inspection system comprising a camera, wherein the optical inspection system is configured to:
• capture the identifier associated with each prescription of the at least one prescription;
• confirm accuracy of an order based on the captured identifier;
