The configurations of the Rowa Speedcase System

  • The Rowa Single: The standard configuration of the Rowa, consisting of one single length with variable height and length
  • The Rowa-Tandem: Similar to the single machine but with two picking arms working simultaneously to increase capacity as well as input and output speeds
  • The Rowa in L-Configuration: This machine is L shaped to increase capacity even in the most awkward of spaces
  • The Rowa in U-Configuration: This configuration maximizes capacity for dispensaries that need a large total capacity without the time constraints which would result in the tandem machine being used.
  • The Rowa ProLog-System: The complete automation package. You simply drop all your delivery on a tray and the robot will completely automate your input process.
  • The Rowa RoMote-System: With this handheld device you can access the robot remotely with no wires attached. Resulting in you being able to roam your pharmacy freely
