High alert medication storage within carousels

Does anyone have high alert storage precautions/warnings set up for meds (e.g. NMBs) in your automated pharmacy carousels? I've heard of using red tape or auxiliary stickers in the bins, but that could be difficult to see if bins are full, and hard to keep up when meds are moved around, etc. Is there any automated messaging capability? We use Talyst.
