The company was founded in 1998, began as a West Flemish family company and is headquartered in Izegem. It employs 120 people and operates as an independent company rather than a division of a larger group. Timon Dejonghe is CEO. The product range covers three lines: automation with the MT.XS and MT.XL robots and Solitaire, digitalisation with MT.Matic Pro, MT.Matic Slim, Collect, Kiosk, MT.VISION and MT.Shop, and dose and dispensing with VBM and the Guided Fill Station. Meditech has more than 3,000 automated pharmacies installed and is active in 37 countries across Europe, the UK, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. Between 80 and 85 percent of turnover comes from community pharmacies. The MT.XL custom robot followed in 2012, the MT.XS standard robot in 2014, MT.VISION screens in 2016 and MT.MATIC Pro in 2018, the year of the German expansion.

- The CoGNETs swarm regroups for 5th Plenary Meeting in Bucharest 🇷🇴 🐝 Our consortium met in Bucharest this week to review progress and plan the upcoming phase of the project. Over the past months the CoGNETs swarm has become more autonomous and more resilient. Devices can now organise themselves, share roles and keep working even when part of the network drops out. Partners also presented new approaches to how devices negotiate and share tasks fairly and securely. That work will feed into upcoming deliverables and scientific
- The glass shelves inside a pharmacy robot are not always easy to access for regular cleaning. Our Cleaning module automates this process, helping you keep the inside of your Meditech robot clean without having to manually clean each shelf. 😊 Cleaning can be scheduled at a suitable time when the robot is not in use. The module then moves systematically through the robot to clean the glass shelves. Once the cleaning cloth needs replacing, the module is automatically ejected. A practical way to make regular internal cleaning easier

Repetitive processes become standardised, medication remains traceable and teams are less dependent on manual handling to keep everything moving. 👌 It creates a workflow that is not only efficient today, but also better prepared for tomorrow. ➡️ Could your current workflow handle the next
