Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Abrechnungssystem für Selbstbedienungsgeschäfte, mit einem Kassenstand, entlang welchem eine Kundenpassage und eine Warenpassage verlaufen und welcher einen Zulaufförderer, eine sich daran anschließende Abrechnungsstelle und eine sich daran anschließende Warenausgabe, sowie eine Sonderausgabe, ein Transportsystem und ein Sonderlager mit Verkaufsprodukten aufweist, wobei der Kassenstand an dem im Verantwortungsbereich des Kassierers arbeitenden Transportsystem zwecks Zuführung von im Bereich des Sonderlagers gelagerten Verkaufsprodukten zum Kassenstand angeschlossen ist.The invention relates to a settlement system for self-service transactions, with a cash desk, along which a customer passage and a goods passage run and which has a feed conveyor, an adjoining clearinghouse and an adjoining goods issue, as well as a special edition, a transport system and a special store with sales products, the cash desk being connected to the transport system working in the area of responsibility of the cashier for the purpose of supplying sales products stored in the area of the special store to the cash desk.

Ein solches Abrechnungssystem ist aus dem EP-A-0 670 132 bekannt.Such a billing system is from the EP-A-0 670 132 known.

Das in dem EP-A-0 670 132 offenbarte Abrechnungssystem für Selbstbedienungsgeschäfte ist jedoch nicht für apothekenpflichtige bzw, rezeptpflichtige Produkte geeignet.That in the EP-A-0 670 132 However, disclosed self-service billing system is not suitable for pharmacy or prescription products.

Es ist erforderlich, dass die Ausgabe der apotheken- bzw. rezeptpflichtigen Produkte ausreichend überwacht erfolgt. In der pharmazeutischen Terminologie wird diese Form der Ausgabe von apothekenpflichtigen Produkten auch als pharmazeutische Ausgabe bezeichnet.It is necessary that the dispensing of the pharmacy or prescription products be sufficiently supervised. In pharmaceutical terminology, this form of dispensing pharmacy products is also referred to as pharmaceutical dispensing.

Angesichts dieser Problematik liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Abrechnungssystem für Apotheken zu schaffen, der auch für den Verkauf von apothekenpflichtigen Produkten eingesetzt werden kann und dabei die pharmazeutische Ausgabe von apothekenpflichtigen Produkten sicherstellt.In view of this problem, the present invention has the object to provide a settlement system for pharmacies, which can also be used for the sale of pharmacy products and thereby ensures the pharmaceutical release of pharmacy products.

Bei dem Abrechnungssystem gemäß der Erfindung wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass es sich bei den Verkaufsprodukten um rezeptpflichtige und/oder apothekepflichtige Arzneimittel handelt, die einer pharmazeutischen Ausgabe unterliegen, wobei zur Sicherstellung der pharmazeutischen Ausgabe das Transportsystem an die an dem Kassenstand befindliche, gesonderte Ausgabestelle angeschlossen ist, der der an dem Kassenstand sitzende Kassierer die der pharmazeutischen Ausgabe unterliegenden apothekenpflichtigen und/oder rezeptpflichtigen Arzneimittel entnehmen kann.In the billing system according to the invention, this object is achieved in that the sales products are prescription and / or pharmacy drugs that are subject to a pharmaceutical release, to ensure the pharmaceutical output, the transport system located at the cash desk, separate issuing office is connected, the cashier sitting at the cash desk can remove the pharmacy subject subject pharmacy and / or prescription drugs.

Die Grundidee der Erfindung ist es zur Sicherstellung der pharmazeutischen Ausgabe das Transportsystem an die an dem Kassenstand befindliche gesonderte Ausgabenstelle anzuschließen. Der an dem Kassenstand sitzende Kassierer kann somit die der pharmazeutischen Ausgabe unterliegenden apothekenpflichtigen und/oder rezeptpflichtigen Arzneimittel entnehmen. Die Abgabe der apothekenpflichtigen produkte liegt somit weiterhin im Verantwortungsbereich des Apothekers bzw. eines apothekenpflichtigen Bediensteten. Dadurch, dass das Transportsystem an eine an dem Kassenstand befindliche Ausgabestelle angeschlossen ist, werden die apothekenpflichtigen Produkte mittels eines Transportsystems einer Ausgabestelle zugeführt. Der Apothekenbedienstete in dem Kassenstand kann daraufhin die apothekenpflichtigen Produkte der Ausgabestelle entnehmen und sie dem Zulaufförderer bzw. direkt der Abrechnungsstelle zuführen.The basic idea of the invention is to connect the transport system to the separate point of expenditure at the cash desk to ensure the pharmaceutical delivery. The cashier sitting at the cash register stand can thus remove the pharmacy-only and / or prescription drugs subject to the pharmaceutical edition. The delivery of pharmacy-only products is therefore still the responsibility of the pharmacist or a pharmacist. Because the transport system is connected to a dispensing station located at the cash desk stand, the pharmacy-priced products are fed to a dispensing location by means of a transport system. The pharmacy employee at the cash desk can then remove the products subject to the pharmacy from the issuing office and deliver them to the inflow conveyor or directly to the clearing house.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Kassenstand mit einem Terminal zur Informationsübermittlung an das Sonderlager und zur Steuerung des Transportsystems versehen ist. Dieses Terminal macht es dem Kassierer möglich, gezielt auf das Sonderlager und das Transportsystem zuzugreifen.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the cash desk is provided with a terminal for transmitting information to the special warehouse and for controlling the transport system. This terminal makes it possible for the cashier to specifically access the special warehouse and the transport system.

Alternativ kann das Transportsystem die Waren direkt zum Zulaufförderer befördern. Der direkte Transport der Waren zum Zulaufförderer des Kassenstandes hat den arbeitsökonomischen Vorteil, dass die manuelle Tätigkeit des Kassierers reduziert wird.Alternatively, the transport system can transport the goods directly to the infeed conveyor. The direct transport of goods to the infeed conveyor of the cash register has the working economic advantage that the manual activity of the cashier is reduced.

Vorteilhaft ist das Sonderlager mit einer automatischen Kommissionierungsanlage ausgestattet, wobei das Transportsystem und die automatische Kommissionierungsanlage miteinander in Verbindung stehen. Die automatischen Kommissionierungsanlagen haben sich in verschiedenen Branchen bewährt. Sie sind im Stande, eine Vielzahl von Waren sortiert zu lagern und schnell der jeweils gewünschten Sortierung und Stückung dem Lager wieder zu entnehmen.Advantageously, the special warehouse is equipped with an automatic picking system, wherein the transport system and the automatic picking system are in communication with each other. Automatic order picking systems have proven themselves in various industries. They are able to store a variety of goods sorted and quickly remove the desired sorting and piece of the warehouse again.

Zweckmäßigerweise enthält das Sonderlager einen speziell für Schnelldreher konzipierten Versorgungsautomaten, wobei das Transportsystem und der speziell für Schnelldreher konzipierte Versorgungsautomat in Verbindung stehen. Eine solche Verbindung trägt der Tatsache Rechnung, dass in verschiedenen Branchen, insbesondere in Apotheken, bereits Versorgungsautomaten für Billigmedikamente mit höherer Verkaufsfrequenz (Schnelldreher) existieren.Conveniently, the special warehouse contains a specially designed for high-speed turntable vending machine, the transport system and designed specifically for high-speed turntable are in communication. Such a connection takes account of the fact that in various industries, especially in pharmacies, vending machines already exist for low-cost (high-speed) low-cost drugs.

Vorteilhafterweise wird als Transportsystem eine Rohrpostanlage eingesetzt. Durch Rohrpostanlagen können die Waren sehr schnell mittels einer Rohrpostbüchse zum Bestimmungsort, d. h. zum Zulaufförderer bzw. zur Ausgabestelle befördert werden. Neben dem Geschwindigkeitsvorteil, der mit Rohrpostanlagen verbunden ist, ist ein weiterer Vorteil in dem verwehrten Zugriff auf die in der Rohrbüchse befindlichen Waren seitens Außenstehender zu sehen. Das Einlegen der Waren in die Rohrpost kann durch einen Bediensten in dem Sonderlager erfolgen.Advantageously, a pneumatic tube system is used as the transport system. By pneumatic tube systems, the goods can very quickly by means of a pneumatic tube to the destination, d. H. to the infeed conveyor or to the issuing office. In addition to the speed advantage associated with pneumatic tube systems, another advantage is seen in the denied access to the products located in the tube liner by outsiders. The insertion of the goods in the pneumatic tube can be done by an operator in the special warehouse.

Das Transportsystem kann auch als Rutschbahn ausgebildet sein. Rutschbahnen bieten den Vorteil, dass sie die Waren sehr schnell befördern und keine Antriebsmittel erfordern.The transport system can also be designed as a slide. Slides offer the advantage that they carry the goods very quickly and require no drive means.

Als Transportsystem können auch Förderbänder eingesetzt werden. Förderbänder lassen sich leicht installieren und haben außerdem den Vorteil, dass sie untereinander leicht in Verbindung gebracht werden können.As a transport system and conveyor belts can be used. Conveyor belts are easy to install and also have the advantage that they can be easily connected to each other.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

Die Zeichnung zeigt einen Kassenstand 1 gemäß der Erfindung mit einem Zulaufförderer 2, einer sich anschließenden Abrechnungsstelle 4 und einer sich daran anschließenden Warenausgabe 5. In die Abrechnungsstelle 4 ist ein Scanner 3 sowie eine zu einem Kassiererplatz 8 hin öffnende Geldlade 9 integriert. Der Kassiererplatz 8 ist mit einem Kassierer besetzt. Die Warenausgabe 5 kann sich aus einer Ablaufbahn 6 und einer Warenzelle 7 zusammensetzen. Links neben dem Kassenstand befindet sich die Kundenpassage, die vom Kunden 11 mit einem Einkaufswagen 12 passiert werden kann.The drawing shows a cash register 1 according to the invention with a feed conveyor 2, a subsequent clearing office 4 and an adjoining goods issue 5. In the billing office 4 is a scanner 3 and a cashier to a place 8 8 opening cash drawer 9 integrated. The cashier place 8 is occupied by a cashier. The goods issue 5 may be composed of a process path 6 and a commodity cell 7. To the left of the cash desk is the customer passage, which can be passed by the customer 11 with a shopping cart 12.

In den Kassenstand 1 ist darüber hinaus ein gesondertes Transportsystem 13 einbezogen, das beispielsweise als Rutschbahn ausgebildet sein kann. Das Transportsystem 13 dient dem Transport von Waren, die beispielsweise in einem für Schnelldreher konzipierten Versorgungsautomaten 14 in einem Sonderlager 18, lagern. Bei den Waren in dem Sonderlager handelt es sich insbesondere um kleine, teure Waren. Zum Beispiels Kosmetikartikel, apothekenpflichtige Produkte oder hochwertige Süßwaren. Mittels eines Greifers 15 werden die Waren dem Versorgungsautomaten 14 entnommen und dem Transportsystem 13 zugeführt. Das Transportsystem 13 leitet die Waren dem Zulaufförderer 2 zu.In the cash register 1, a separate transport system 13 is also included, which may be formed for example as a slide. The transport system 13 is used for the transport of goods, for example, in a designed for high-speed vending machine 14 in a special warehouse 18 store. The goods in the special warehouse are in particular small, expensive goods. For example, cosmetics, pharmacy products or high-quality sweets. By means of a gripper 15, the goods are removed from the vending machine 14 and fed to the transport system 13. The transport system 13 forwards the goods to the infeed conveyor 2.

Das Transportsystem 13 kann auch direkt an einer Ausgabestelle 16 enden. Der am Kassiererplatz 8 sitzende Kassierer hat Zugriff auf die in der Ausgabestelle 16 befindlichen Waren.The transport system 13 may also terminate directly at an exit point 16. The cashier sitting at the cashier place 8 has access to the goods located in the delivery point 16.

In der Abrechnungsstelle 4 werden die auf dem Zulaufförderer liegenden, vom Kunden in Selbstbedienung zusammengestellten Waren einerseits und die über das Transportsystem 13 herangeführten Waren andererseits zusammengeführt, abgerechnet und an die Warenausgabe 5 weitergeleitet.In the billing center 4 lying on the feed conveyor, collected by the customer self-service goods on the one hand and the brought up via the transport system 13 goods on the other hand merged, billed and forwarded to the goods issue 5.

Die Anforderung der überwachungsbedürftigen Waren erfolgt durch den Kassierer an dem Kassenstand mittels eines Terminals 10, das am Kassierplatz 8 aufgestellt ist. Ein Ausstellungsregal 17, in dem die in dem Sonderlager 18 zusammengestellten Waren zur Ansicht stehen, befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe des Kassenstandes 1. Das Ausstellungsregal 17 versetzt den Kunden in die Lage, sich einen Überblick über die in dem Sonderlager 18 befindlichen Waren zu verschaffen.The request for the goods requiring monitoring is carried out by the cashier at the cash desk by means of a terminal 10 which is placed at the cashier 8. An exhibition shelf 17 in which the assembled in the special warehouse 18 Goods are available for viewing, located in the immediate vicinity of the cash register 1. The display shelf 17 enables the customer to get an overview of the goods located in the special warehouse 18 goods.

Die Entnahme der abgerechneten Waren durch den Kunden 11 erfolgt schließlich an der dafür vorgesehenen Warenausgabe 5.The removal of billed goods by the customer 11 finally takes place at the designated goods issue 5.
