Supporting pharmacies on the path to Automation:
With the Celia automation multi-dose blister card packaging machine
In today's fast-paced pharmacy environment, efficiency isn’t just a luxury - it’s a necessity. Across the UK pharmacies are facing increasing pressures, rising workloads, tighter budgets, limited space, and growing demands for more patient-focused services.
At EMT Healthcare, we understand the challenges pharmacies face daily. That's why we’re committed to helping pharmacies explore practical, sustainable solutions that make everyday processes easier. Including the move towards safe, efficient automation.
A New Step Forward: Celia MDS dispensing and EMT blister packs
One significant development we’re pleased to share is that EMT's high-quality PillBook MDS blister packs are now fully compatible with the Celia dispensing robot from Avonnex.
This compatibility opens the door for pharmacies of all sizes, whether you’re just starting to explore automation or considering an upgrade to adopt an approachable, scalable solution. Celia is a compact, tabletop dispensing system designed specifically for pharmacy workflows. It integrates easily into existing setups and works with current EMT blister trays, helping to make the transition into automation smooth and minimally disruptive.
Enhancing Efficiency in Your Pharmacy Supply Chain
The pharmacy sector has evolved significantly over the years, from traditional manual dispensing methods to fully automated hub and spoke methods - the industry is moving fast.
Embracing innovation, especially through automation, is now essential to achieving future growth and operational efficiency. Our promise to our customers is, and always has been, to deliver excellence and this means we have to be at the forefront of innovation.
Our partnership with Avonnex helps us to highlight brilliant innovations in our industry, saving our customers time sourcing and helping them to access trusted solutions.

Here’s how automation like Celia can support your pharmacy:
- Reduces time spent on repetitive tasks, such as manual blister packing
- Improves accuracy and helps minimise medication errors
- Works within your current space, avoiding the need for major layout changes
- Allows pharmacists and technicians to focus more on clinical care
For many pharmacies, automation is not about going high-tech overnight. It’s about finding manageable, flexible tools that align with your pharmacy's needs and capacity.
