Storage and distribution system for products in unit doses, including a plurality of housing units, each including a plurality of locations for products in unit doses. The housing units are organised on a vertical plane to produce at least one portion of a picking wall, in which the locations for products in unit doses face selective picking members. A picking unit includes picking members oriented on the picking wall for picking products packaged in unit doses. A collecting unit, arranged on a second side of the picking unit, includes a rack having a plurality of pegs facing towards the first side of the picking unit. The pegs are reached by the picking members so as to pick therefrom or deposit thereon products packaged in unit doses. The plurality of pegs as a whole can collect a smaller number of unit dose products than those that can be stored in the automatic store.
Storage and distribution system for products in unit doses, comprising a plurality of housing units, each comprising a plurality of locations for products in unit doses, it being possible to organise the housing units on a substantially vertical plane so as to produce at least one portion of a picking wall, in which the locations for products in unit doses face selective picking means.
Unit for picking products packaged in unit doses, comprising picking means that can be oriented towards a first side of the picking unit where they prove suitable, in use, for picking products packaged in unit doses from one face of an automatic store, a collecting unit being arranged on a second side, opposite the first side relative to the picking means, of the picking unit, the collecting unit comprising a rack comprising a plurality of pegs facing towards the first side and reachable by the picking means for picking products packaged in unit doses from the pegs or depositing them thereon, the plurality of pegs as a whole being capable of collecting a smaller number of unit dose products than those that can be stored in the automatic store.
