Abstract: A method for filling a plurality of containers in cycles at a predetermined number of stationary filling units arranged in a row with a first spacing from each other. The method includes providing a plurality of positively guided containers in a row, one-by-one, wherein the containers have a uniform second spacing from each other, wherein the first spacing of the individual filling units is a whole-number multiple of the second spacing of the containers, and filling a predetermined number of the containers simultaneously at the filling units. The containers are shifted in cycles along the filling units in a transport direction by a step length, which is a whole-number multiple of the second spacing of the containers and which is shorter than a third spacing between a first filling unit and a last filling unit steps of filling and shifting are repeated over a predetermined number of iterations.

Abstract: The method for producing a multi-day package containing various drugs has the following steps. A bottom layer is formed with a plurality of wells arranged in a pattern. A predetermined number of different drugs are arranged in predetermined positions at various dispensing stations of a filling device. The desired drugs are picked in a controlled manner from their predetermined positions at each dispensing station by at least one movable suction or gripper device, and the drugs are placed in predetermined wells. Finally, a sealing film is applied to the bottom layer to seal off the wells.

Abstract: The method for producing a multi-day package containing various drugs has the following steps: a bottom layer is formed with a plurality of wells arranged in a pattern; a predetermined number of different drugs is arranged in predetermined positions at various dispensing stations of a filling device; the desired number of drugs are picked in a controlled manner from their predetermined positions at each dispensing station by at least one movable suction or gripper device, and the drugs are deposited in the predetermined wells; and a sealing film is applied to the bottom layer to seal off the wells. In the course of this method, in at least one dispensing station several suction or gripper devices, which are arranged in correspondence with the pattern of the wells in the multi-day package and which travel parallel to each other, are actuated individually.
