Imagine trying to fill 20K prescriptions a day (8hours). Further imagine 3 pill containers & miscellaneous items per prescription.   We did and we did it for a Major Pharmaceutical Mail Order prescription center in Tempe, Arizona a couple of years ago.

Quickly, we knew the location of all medications. Our software was fed information about the medication to be dispensed and the amount. SCS determined how many containers were needed and the amount per container. SCS printed a label and affixed this label to each container and then the containers were inserted and married to RFID pucks. They look like hockey pucks with holes. These containers raced down the conveyors and were routed to the proper stations for filling. When the prescription was completed, SCS routed the pucks to the consolidation area where the prescription was assembled and packaged and shipped.

Seeing this operation in action is believing.
