McKesson delivers for customers with the KNAPP Pick-it-Easy Robot, powered by Covariant

McKesson, the largest drug distributor in the United States, faced significant challenges from labor shortages, strict pharmaceutical handling regulations, and complex product packaging. To lower costs and fill labor gaps, the company turned to vendor Covariant, leveraging the KNAPP Pick-it-Easy Robot powered by Covariant's AI platform.

Powered by Covariant's AI Brain, the robotic solution provided the intelligence to reliably recognize and pick a wide variety of complex pharmaceutical items. The implementation allowed McKesson to process orders fully automatically around the clock, helping the company reliably meet delivery promises and comply with all legal requirements.
