AMNEAL Pharmaceuticals has reported record sales of its Alpaca DAA blister packing robot in the last 12 months, with more than 30 machines installed.
"As community pharmacy embraces the growth potential of DAAs, automation is a natural progression when manual packing can no longer keep up with demand," said Amneal managing director Gavin Upiter.
The Alpaca robots sold locally have been purchased by independent community pharmacies as well as state and national groups.
"We expect this sector of pharmacy to grow dramatically in 2017," he said, citing Amneal figures which show an incremental $75,000 per annum DAA revenue stream is "very achievable".
