Capsa Healthcare is simplifying pharmacy workflows with the Kirby Lester KL1v, a compact automated counter capable of processing up to 15 tablets or capsules per second. The system works with most pills without calibration, interfacing, or IT setup, allowing pharmacies to integrate it directly into existing workstations. Additional modes support physical inventory counts, irregularly shaped pills, and gel caps, while a vial size indicator recommends appropriate containers based on the medication counted.

The streamlined system can reduce time spent on repetitive manual counting, allowing pharmacy technicians to focus on higher-value responsibilities. For Capsa, making the KL1v available directly through Capsa Connect removes part of the traditional sales process and makes automation more accessible to smaller pharmacy operations. Its compact, standalone format also broadens potential adoption across retail, hospital outpatient, veterinary, specialty, and long-term care pharmacies.
