long acting insulin dispensing

We have historically always dispensed long acting insulin (glargine) by drawing up patient specific syringes in the pharmacy in 2 batches per day. Our ops team is interested in stocking long acting insulin vials in the Omnicell machines. Has anyone been successful with stocking vials in automation for nursing to draw up? We do have label printers at each omniell that we would utilize to print patient specific labels with barcodes.
Please let us know if you have pharmacy services 24/7 when you reply. Thanks so much!
