The pharmaceutical industry has strict standards and regulations regarding the packaging and labeling of over-the-counter pill bottles for consumers. Different products have different requirements, and prescription pill bottles are no exception to those regulations. The FDA requires labels for all over-the-counter (OTC) medicines (available without a prescription) to have a Drug Facts label. The Drug Facts label was created to reduce confusion by standardizing usage and safety information to be more understandable for the average consumer.

One of the most significant advantages of automating, or even partially automating a process, is the time saved by allowing workers to focus on more than one task or eliminating the need for human workers altogether. An uninterrupted process is a significant factor in successful production. From simple to complex automation systems, conveyors keep things moving within the system and in some cases even extend the system’s capacity and runtimes. A conveyor can be a silent hero of a system but the wrong conveyor can be an obtrusive nuisance that needs constant attention and upkeep.

A common way stores and companies track inventory is with barcodes which can be scanned to identify the product and its price. With barcode labels, products can be tracked from production to the point of sale, or even to contact a customer if there is a major recall on the product. There are two major types of barcodes used in the world.
