Say hello to FLOiD – the first automated dispensing system purposely designed for the cannabis industry. Equipped with highly sophisticated robot technology, FLOiD manages your complete inventory while securely storing and dispensing all available stock automatically.

To ensure maximum reliability, FLOiD’s basic design is built on time-tested technology that’s already in use in thousands of German pharmacies – reengineered and optimized to meet the special requirements of cannabis dispensaries.

FLOiD gives you full control of your inventory, improving the overall efficiency of your dispensary significantly: with FLOiD’s reliable high-speed dispensing process, you’ll need approx. 30% less time to pick orders – tending to your customers was never easier.

Depending on your configuration, it takes FLOiD only six to twelve seconds to automatically fetch goods from the shelving system and to transport them to the dispensary area. At full capacity, FLOiD takes care of ordering and providing up to 500 products per hour. The inventory size is freely scalable according to your requirements, allowing for a maximum quantity of up to 40,000 packaging units.

Thanks to its compact and adaptable design, FLOiD perfectly fits almost any spatial conditions, while saving approx. 15-20% of your total operational area. It can be operated invisibly in the background or even serve as an autonomous dispensary for 24/7 self-service access. And with its useful extensions, it gives you even more options to maximize efficiency – just add the automated feeder module or our patented shelf cleaning system.

But whatever configuration you choose, FLOiD not only brings your dispensary up to speed – it’ll also fit seamlessly into the branding style of your business, offering countless options for color and design to become an integral part of your dispensary’s success story.

Aurora Deutschland GmbH is one of the leading importers, manufacturers and wholesalers of medical cannabis and is German market leader in the flower segment. Aurora has expanded its existing product portfolio for medical use with cannabis flowers with high THC of 25%.

Aurora has entered into a long-term supply agreement with WEECO Pharma GmbH. Since October, the medicinal cannabis flowers WEECO 25/1 of the cultivar “Frosted Lemon Angel” has been available via Aurora in pharmacies throughout Germany. ‘’Through the cooperation with WEECO, we were not only able to expand our portfolio with a medically relevant flower variety in the short term but have also found a partner who shares our highest quality standards for a cannabis flower. ‘’ Marcus Reussmann, Sales Manager at Aurora Deutschland GmbH, explains.

The California genetics “Frosted Lemon Angel” was developed at the WEECO Aps Research & Development Centre. Developed to production maturity in Aalborg, Denmark under the leadership of master grower Gary F Graham, Jr.

The new WEECO 25/1 is particularly suitable for patients with high THC requirements. 25% tetrahydrocannabinol content enters the bloodstream with each inhalation of the flowers a high amount of active ingredient, whereby the effect occurs faster and more effectively. Positive effects of medicinal cannabis can therefore be achieved particularly effectively in severe pain and pain peaks. Medical cannabis is often also prescribed to chronically ill patients who no longer tolerate common painkillers or whose pain medication is no longer sufficient.

If you have any questions about the products, the Aurora customer service is personally available on the HOTLINE +49 (0)30 9832 1601-0 from Monday to Friday from 8:30 – 17:00. In addition, pharmacists and medical professionals will find comprehensive information on the topic of medicinal cannabis and the entire product portfolio on the exclusive website for pharmacies. In the product area, pharmacies can conveniently place their order, check the availability of the individual varieties, and download certificates and product profiles.

From 19-20 June 2022, one of the world’s largest B2B cannabis conferences, the annual ICBC, took place in Berlin. Participants from over 80 countries used the event to refresh customer contacts and maintain the existing network in personal conversations. Together with WEECO Genetics, WEECO Pharma presented current breeds and new cooperation partners on a joint booth of around 150 sqm.

The colleagues from Cannasouth in New Zealand, who recently signed a three-year supply agreement with WEECO Pharma, generated great interest. At the ICBC, WEECO Genetics announced a cooperation with Soma’s Sacred Seeds from the Netherlands. Soma has been a pioneer in cannabis breeding since the early 1970s, and numerous Cannabis Cup awards are impressive proof of the excellent quality of Soma’s breeding varieties. Furthermore, WEECO Genetics showed the new portfolio of IP-free cannabis strains from California for the legal cannabis market.

A special highlight of ICBC 2022 was the premiere of CANNASTORE, the first fully automated dispensing machine for cannabis products. For the first time, the system was exclusively demonstrated to trade visitors at the CANNASTORE stand. A team of WEECO experts developed the system together with the industry leader for dispensing machines within only two years. It can process up to 500 orders per hour and holds up to 40,000 units. First impressions of the CANNASTORE at ICBC 2022 can be found here.

There is probably no other topic that moves the industry as much as the upcoming cannabis legalisation process in Germany. The first round of expert hearings has been completed, so what happens next? WEECO CEO Tim Feike was a guest on the panel discussion at this year’s ICBC 2022 in Berlin. A recording of the panel discussion on the topic of “Cannabis Legalization on the Horizon in Germany” can be found here.

To all our customers, business and cooperation partners: Thank you for visiting us at this year’s ICBC 2022 in Berlin. See you soon at the next ICBC.
