A pharmaceutical automation system, comprising:

• a) a server processing a prescription input;
• b) a cartridge unit having a plurality of cartridges, wherein a microcomputer is installed in each of the cartridges to communicate with the server;
• c) a plurality of cassettes respectively filled with a predetermined type of tablets and detachably mounted on the cartridges, wherein a memory is planted in each of the cassettes to store therein a tablet data specifying the type of tablets in the corresponding cassette, wherein the respective cassette-to-cartridge mount actuates the microcomputer to read and share with the server the tablet data in the corresponding memory, wherein the server selectively commands the microcomputers to enable the cassettes to selectively release the tablets in accordance with the prescription input, whereby when one of the cassettes is randomly mounted on one of the cartridges the microcomputer of the corresponding cartridge becomes updated to include the tablet data stored in the memory of the corresponding cassette to thereby control the tablet release in accordance with the description input;
• d) a hopper provided below the cartridge unit to downwardly guide the released tablets;
• e) a tray unit provided between the cartridge unit and the hopper, wherein the tray unit has a tray partitioned to releasably hold therein extra types of tablets, wherein the extra types of tablets are selectively released in accordance with a conveyer belt mechanism activated by the server, wherein the tray is horizontally pulled out from the system to open for spreading therein the extra types of tablets;
• and
• f) a packaging unit provided below the tray unit to package the released tablets into tablet containing paper bags.
