1. A pharmacy packaging system comprising:
a feed roll for forming a pharmaceutical pouch;
a dispenser configured to dispense pharmaceuticals into the pharmaceutical pouch formed by the feed roll; and
a verification system including
a camera system configured to capture images in a visible spectrum and an infrared spectrum,
a first light source configured to output infrared spectrum light,
a second light source configured to output visible spectrum light, and
a processor communicatively coupled to the camera system, the first light source, and the second light source, the processor operable to:
activate the first light source to illuminate the pharmaceutical pouch,
capture a first image, using the camera system, of the pharmaceutical pouch while illuminated by the first light source,
activate the second light source to illuminate the pharmaceutical pouch,
capture a second image, using the camera system, of the pharmaceutical pouch while illuminated by the second light source,
generate a third image based on the first image and the second image,
generate a dashboard to simultaneously display first images, second images, and third images from a first plurality of pharmaceutical pouches, wherein
the first plurality of pharmaceutical pouches includes the pharmaceutical pouch, the first images include the first image, the second images include the second image, and the third images include the third image,
each of the third images from the first plurality of pharmaceutical pouches include individual pharmaceuticals arranged in rows or columns, and
the individual pharmaceuticals are included in a pharmaceutical pouch of the first plurality of pharmaceutical pouches,
receive a user selection on the dashboard to approve the first plurality of pharmaceutical pouches currently displayed on the dashboard, and
in response to receiving the user selection on the dashboard to approve the first plurality of pharmaceutical pouches
simultaneously display first images, second images, and third images from a second plurality of pharmaceutical pouches on the dashboard, the second plurality of pharmaceutical pouches being different than the first plurality of pharmaceutical pouches.
