Beyond the Hype: Real Labor Gains in
High-Volume Pharma Fulfillment

Cardinal Health’s legacy is scale. But with demand growing across direct-to-pharmacy and patient channels, manual fulfillment has hit its ceiling. Berkshire Grey’s robotic shuttle sortation delivers high-throughput, ergonomic picking and fully automated takeaway, transforming operations to handle complex pharmaceutical and specialty logistics—without increasing headcount. 

Deployments ranging from 676K to over 7.4MM units per week. Based on 21 hours daily, 7 days a week operation.

No Manual Tote Handling

Eliminate employee walking and tote transfer with automated takeaway and packout.

Multi-SKU Pharmacy Orders

Sort high-mix pharmaceutical items—split cases, odd shapes—with automated exception handling and destination precision.

Order Visibility

Gain full visibility into every order—with the ability to audit them.

Tie All the Stations Together

Eliminate the need for a two-step pick-and-verify process. A single operator can scan each item and the system offers traceability.

Built to Scale

Real-time wave balancing ensure throughput consistency—even during end-of-month spikes, flu season, or new site ramp-up.
