What is Eyecon?The Eyecon™ 9420 is a unique machine vision counting system. A camera mounted above the counting platter captures photo images used to count pills five times per second. If a count is questioned, the photo can be viewed and/or printed. Every pill is sequentially numbered and all of the prescription data is annotated onto the photo.
The Eyecon 9420 uses a unique Visual Counting System™ that is up to 76% faster and significantly more accurate than manual counting. It helps reduce tedium and stress while allowing employees to spend more time with customers. Your customers will benefit from improved customer service and Rx accuracy.
Eyecon 9420 builds on the revolutionary technology of the original Eyecon machine, with enhanced features that take the system to the next level. The updated widescreen display presents more information in a single view and the touchscreen delivers enhanced brightness, touch accuracy and supports multi-touch for pinch and zoom. When the machine vision technology detects pill fragments or foreign matter on the counting platter, it alerts the operator. This feature ensures the quality of the prescriptions filled on the Eyecon.
For most pharmacies, Eyecon pays for itself very quickly. Filling automation improves Rx accuracy, resulting in improved customer safety, inventory control and customer satisfaction, saving an average pharmacy thousands of dollars per year.
“The return on investment using the RxSafe 1800 is not only in dollars and cents, but it’s been in the security knowing that our medications are held in a secure device and are coming out accurately.”
“The ability for it to pull products correctly no matter where they are is so important. We used to have problems locating products daily – now the RxSafe locates them immediately.”
“We’ve been able to free up space with the RxSafe in our pharmacy. It’s freed up areas that we use for bubble packing, compounding and convenience packaging that we do for our long-term care and assisted living faciltiies.”
I love my RxSafe! I owned a competitor’s product before and the RxSafe technology is light years ahead of them.
“I’ve seen improvement in several areas of the pharmacy since we introduced the RxSafe. Productivity has increased, inventory control has improved, we’ve saved money on labor and our accuracy is exceptional.” With RxSafe, accountability is built in to the prescription processing workflow. We don’t have concerns about accuracy or diversion since we added it to our pharmacy – those have been eliminated.”
“Our workflow is so much smoother now and I know that the prescriptions the patients are getting are correct. The RxSafe always delivers the right drug for each prescription, it’s double-checked with the Eyecon and everything is done at one station.”
Paw Paw Village introduced the RxSafe 1800 two tower system in one of our 6 stores a year ago. We’ve seen the cost of generics increase the cost of on-hand inventory by an average of $30k in all of our stores except the one with the RxSafe. That store has actually seen a $50k decrease in on-hand inventory costs. This totals $80k in savings attributed to the RxSafe. We’ve also seen our inventory turns increase from 17 turns per year to 23+ turns per year. In addition, we’ve been able to reduce our labor costs by an average of 200 to 250 labor hours per month, which basically covered the payment on the unit. Therefore in four years that labor savings will go directly to cash flow.
I think the most important capability is speed and accuracy. It allows 1 person to fill a multitude of prescriptions quickly and accurately. With the RxSafe it finds it very quickly and brings the correct drug every single time to the operator.
The accuracy of the RxSafe gives me complete peace of mind. As the one responsible for any mistakes made in my pharmacy, this is priceless.
A specific area that we’ve been able to see a tremendous savings in time is through assigning tech’s to other areas. Prior to implementing the RxSafe they were handling inventory management responsibilities. Now we’ve been able to move a tech to our Med Sync program, effectively eliminating 30-40 hours per week of technician time.

Technology sets RxSafe apart.
One of our most recent developments is the DRI™, the first-of-its-kind, message initiation “data rich interchange” for the retail pharmacy market. This protocol is essential for real workflow, providing pharmacy management with a complete suite of reports at their fingertips. The DRI is an integral part of every RxSafe product, making it a unique offering in pharmacy management software. With the development of the DRI, pharmacy workflow becomes even more robust and streamlined than ever before.
The Eyecon® optical precision counting system captures a “shadow image” and numbers each pill counted for filling the prescription. The image is stored with the prescription number for reference. Pill “fragments” or foreign material is identified in the image prior to process completion for remedy.
