YalaTech installed electronic shelf labels in Chinese medicine stores
In western countries, it is common for pharmacies to use electronic shelf labels. There are a small number of pharmacies in China that use electronic shelf labels to improve the store operating efficiency, these are generally western medicine stores.
Recently YalaTech installed electronic shelf labels in Chinese medicine stores. Orders for traditional Chinese medicines are made up of a variety of medicinal materials. Sometimes the staff needs to pick up more than a dozen kinds of traditional Chinese medicines for one order. In order to improve the picking efficiency of employees and avoid mistakes, the well-known pharmaceutical company Dashenlin developed a traditional Chinese medicine cabinet with an electronic screen.
The ESL solution of YalaTech is the core of this medicine cabinet. The ESL system of YalaTech can be integrated to the medicine order system. Employees operate the order on the PDA screen, click on the medicine to be picked up, and the corresponding medicine cabinet will light up, and the employee can take the medicine directly. The lighting time is about 60 seconds. After taking out the medicine, employees can turn off the light in advance without waiting. With the reminder of the light, employees no longer need to spend time looking for the corresponding medicine cabinet. The screen of the cabinet display the name of the medicine for easy checking to avoid mistakes.
This PICK BY LIGHT operation process can help them save more than 80% of operating time and achieve zero errors. It used to take about 15 minutes to pick an order, now it only takes 3 minutes to complete. Employees have more time to serve customers instead of picking items, which improves store operating efficiency and improves customer satisfaction.
