Queue raises funding to build fully autonomous pharmacy

Queue is a robotics company that has developed an autonomous pharmacy system to fill and verify prescription medications without requiring an on-site pharmacist. The system is significant because American pharmacies face critical structural problems, including severe labor shortages, pharmacy closures creating "pharmacy deserts," and negative reimbursements that threaten the industry's viability. Queue's technology can fill prescriptions at dramatically lower cost than traditional operations and expand access to medications in underserved areas, addressing an urgent healthcare infrastructure challenge. The company emerged from stealth with $12.6 million in seed funding and has already deployed a working prototype with a major national pharmacy chain customer.
