Apparatuses, systems, and methods for anticipating and delivering medications from a central pharmacy to a patient using a track based transport system

A track section configured to be secured to adjacent track sections by interlocking end caps, the track section comprising:

• four surfaces extending along a length of the track section, wherein each of the four surfaces is configured to be engaged by a roller of a bogie;
• an identification surface configured to receive thereon a series of demarcations indicative of a position along the track section;
• a channel configured to receive therein a bus bar insulator, wherein the bus bar insulator is configured to receive one or more bus bars;
• at least one recess configured to receive an end cap configured to connect the track section to an adjacent track section;
• and
• a grooved channel extending along the length of the track section, wherein the grooved channel is configured to be engaged by the threads of a threaded fastener at any point along the length of the grooved channel.

An interconnected track system for guiding cars thereon, the system comprising:

• a first track section comprising an elongate body, a first end, and a second end;
• a second track section comprising an elongate body, a first end, and a second end;
• a first end cap comprising a width and configured to be received in the first end of the first track section wherein the width is perpendicular to the elongate body of the first track section;
• a second end cap comprising a width and configured to be received in the second end of the second track section wherein the width is perpendicular to the elongate body of the second track section;
• a first bus bar extending along the elongate body of the first track section and at least partially across the width of the first end cap;
• and
• a second bus bar extending along the elongate body of the second track section and at least partially across the width of the second end cap;
• wherein the first end cap is configured to be interlocked with the second end cap to create a continuous track between the second end of the first track section and the first end of the second track section, and wherein the first bus bar is configured to be engaged with the second bus bar at least partially across the width of the first end cap and the second end cap,
• wherein each of the first track section, the second track section, the first end cap, and the second end cap comprise a profile, and wherein the profile of each of the first track section, the second track section, the first end cap, and the second end cap comprise at least two surfaces configured to be engaged by rollers of a bogie riding along the track system.
