Healthcare & Medical Fulfillment
Material handling solutions for medical supplies, surgical instruments, prescription drugs.
When Accuracy and Safety Matter Most.
For medical and healthcare organizations, precision and speed in order fulfillment aren’t just operational goals—they’re essential to patient safety. Automation minimizes human contact, accelerates processing, and significantly improves accuracy.
In a highly regulated industry where traceability and compliance are non-negotiable, automated systems provide the consistency and transparency needed to meet strict standards and protect patient health.
What Problems Can Automated Fulfillment Solve?
Smart Software Provides Traceability
StreamTech’s light WCS software passes data between the automation hardware and your order database, in real-time, so you always have the most accurate data for reporting and compliance purposes.
Easily Handle Regulatory Documents
Inserting product documentation, regulatory certificates, controlled material data sheets, packing lists, and other information can be automated into each carton, with verification of each page, and parity checking against the order.
Error-Free Fulfillment
Order accuracy for healthcare-related companies is paramount. Automation systems are a perfect fit – using scanners, barcodes, cameras, and verification parity checking at every stage, ensuring nearly 100% accuracy prior to shipment.
Prepare for Growth, Scalability
Using automated picking and packing processes can allow the business to scale with growth, requiring fewer team members for each task. Right-size packaging and cartonization will also reduce shipping costs.
Faster Fulfillment, at Lower Cost Per Order
Automating the end-of-line shipping labeling processes gives you a consistent operational speed, regardless of order flow. It also allows you to perform carrier and service-level rate shopping based on the most efficient prices, cutting costs.
Fewer Human Touches
In addition to reducing labor and associated costs and increasing accuracy, employing automating is advantageous for healthcare and medical device companies to reduce the potential for contamination of the products within each order.

How does StreamTech support compliance with healthcare regulations?
We design systems that support traceability, accurate labeling, and the secure handling of sensitive medical products. Our automation integrates with your regulatory workflows—helping you maintain FDA, DEA, or HIPAA compliance depending on your product type and fulfillment model.
Can your systems handle both medical equipment and small-format items like pill packets?
Yes. Our automation solutions are built for flexibility. Whether you’re fulfilling kits, shipping bulk medical supplies, or processing lightweight pill packets, we tailor the solution to your SKUs—ensuring precision across a wide range of product sizes and formats.
How do you reduce human error in sensitive medical fulfillment operations?
By automating repetitive and high-risk tasks like scanning, labeling, paperwork inclusion, and sorting, we reduce the chances of mistakes that could impact safety or compliance. Our software provides real-time verification, order validation, and audit trails for every step.
Can your systems automate the inclusion of regulatory paperwork with outbound orders?
Absolutely. We can configure systems to automatically pair the correct regulatory documentation—such as instructions for use, MSDS sheets, or compliance slips—with each order. These documents can be inserted, printed, or scanned into the workflow as needed.
Our systems track every item through the fulfillment process using barcode scanning, integrated software, and optional image-capture validation. This creates a full digital audit trail, so you can verify that every order was packed correctly and meets regulatory documentation standards.
Is your automation scalable for high-growth or high-volume environments?
Yes. Many of our clients in the medical space have experienced rapid growth, and our systems are built to scale with you. We focus on modular designs and software-driven workflows that can expand as demand increases—without compromising speed or accuracy.
