Healthcare Fit-Out · Project type 04 · Robotic pharmacy
Robotic pharmacy pre-installation
Site readiness to the robot supplier's technical specification — floor levelling and load-bearing checks, a dust-free room with controlled temperature and humidity, dedicated power, UPS, earthing and data, conveyor openings and the counters and joinery around the robot — coordinated through to installation day.
The short answer
In short
KRM prepares sites for pharmacy robots to the supplier's technical specification: floor levelling and load checks, a dust-free room with controlled temperature and humidity, dedicated power, UPS, earthing and data, conveyor openings and the pharmacy fit-out around the robot. KRM's biomedical engineer turns the supplier's drawing into a construction scope and coordinates installation day.

- Also delivered
- Counters, shelving, compounding areas, HVAC, security
Ready for the robot
Built to the supplier's tolerance, handed over ready for commissioning
A pharmacy robot is unforgiving of its room: floor flatness and loading, temperature and humidity, dust, power quality and the exact position of every conveyor opening are set by the supplier's specification. KRM's biomedical engineer takes that specification and turns it into a construction scope, then coordinates the installation day directly with the supplier.
Around the robot we deliver the pharmacy itself — dispensing counters, storage and shelving from our workshop, clean-room areas for compounding where required, HVAC, lighting, data and security — so the department opens as one finished unit.

How we deliver
From supplier drawing to installation day
- 01
Specification review
Our biomedical engineer reviews the supplier's site-requirement document and surveys the room against it.
- 02
Civil and MEP preparation
Floor levelling and load checks, openings, dedicated power, UPS, earthing, data, HVAC and dust-free finishes.
- 03
Pharmacy fit-out
Counters, shelving, compounding areas, lighting and security built around the robot footprint.
- 04
Installation-day coordination
Access, lifting, power-on and commissioning coordinated with the supplier's engineers; handover ready for go-live.
Interactive 3D
See what a pharmacy robot needs from the room
Drag to look around and tap a numbered point to see each part of the site readiness. Switch the layers to stop the robot, remove the glass enclosure or show the dedicated power route.
Loads the interactive model (about 150 KB).
Illustrative model. The robot itself is supplied and installed by its manufacturer; KRM delivers the site readiness around it to the manufacturer’s specification.
The robot arm travels on a floor rail, storing and picking packs from the shelving. KRM does not supply the robot: we prepare the room to the manufacturer’s site specification.
The shelving footprint and clear height are set out from the supplier’s drawings, and walls and ceiling are finished before delivery.
The floor under the robot is levelled to a tight tolerance and checked for the point loads of the loaded shelving and rail.
A glazed aluminium enclosure from our own workshop keeps dust out and lets staff see the robot at work.
A loading hatch and conveyor position for restocking, set at the working height the supplier specifies.
Chutes or conveyors deliver packs from the robot to each dispensing point; we form the openings and routes through joinery and walls.
Solid-surface dispensing counters with integrated power, data and screens, made in KRM’s joinery workshop.
A dedicated supply with UPS backup and data points at the positions on the supplier’s drawing, tested before the installation team arrives.
Dedicated air conditioning holds the robot room within the storage temperature range for medicines.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Which pharmacy robots have you prepared sites for?
We work to each supplier's own site-requirement specification rather than a single brand, which is what makes the biomedical engineer's role essential — the floor, power, data and openings are built to the exact drawing the supplier issues.
Can the pharmacy keep dispensing during the works?
Usually yes: the robot room is prepared behind hoarding while the existing pharmacy continues, and the counters and shelving are switched over in a short planned window.
