Omnicell, Inc. is an American multinational healthcare technology company headquartered in Mountain View, CA.

Omnicell Technologies, Inc. was founded in September 1992 by Randall A. Lipps after his daughter was hospitalized at birth and he observed nurses had difficulty locating medical supplies.

With the help of graduate students from Stanford University, he developed a prototype of a system that automated inventory management tasks performed manually by nurses.

The cabinets were capable of tracking transaction data, inventory levels, expenses, and patient billing.

In 2003, Omnicell acquired BCX Technology, Inc., a maker of wireless, handheld bar-code scanners that could track pharmaceutical dispensation.
