What d-dispensing does
Guided dispensing at the weighing bench
The operator scans the production order and sees the bill of materials with every open quantity. The terminal checks each container before anything is weighed and shows the weight live. A weighing can only be finished within tolerance: at most 104% of the remaining quantity per weighing, and 98–102% of target per position.
Audit trail and batch records
Every weighing, refusal and update lands in a hash-chained audit trail, so a later change is detectable, not just forbidden. The label's barcode is the ID of the booked record, so QA can trace every entry in the batch record.
Hazard information at the bench
While the operator pours, the terminal shows the material's GHS pictograms and signal word right next to the scale reading. Nobody has to look up a safety data sheet.
ERP booking and label printing
On finishing, d-dispensing books the stock movement into the ERP in one transaction (myfactory with xstorage, or weclapp) and prints a ZPL label on a Zebra printer. The order is always the same: store durably, then print, then book.
Setup and training
We connect scales, printers and your ERP and train your team, on site or remotely – at fixed, published prices.
Difference
What makes d-dispensing different
200% faster dispensing
Operators keep the workflow they know, but looking up, copying out and countersigning go away: the terminal checks, calculates and documents by itself. In use, dispensing has become 200% faster – and the batch record no longer has handwritten gaps.
Independent of the scale manufacturer
Weighing software from scale manufacturers such as Mettler Toledo or Sartorius is designed first and foremost for their own scales. d-dispensing connects serial industrial scales from the common manufacturers, including Mettler Toledo, Sartorius and RHEWA, and further manufacturers are easy to add – you keep the scales already on your floor.
Fixed prices instead of a project quote
Setup costs €1,000 remotely or €2,500 on site; training for up to 5 people costs €900 remotely or €2,500 on site. These prices are public on our website – the only thing you need a quote for is the licence.
Only dispensing, and all of it
d-dispensing is deliberately not a full MES that changes your whole production. It covers exactly the step where raw material goes into the batch – which is why it is live 4–6 weeks after the order.
Keeps weighing when the network drops
If the connection to the server drops mid-weighing, the operator still finishes: the record is stored locally, the label prints and the booking replays automatically, never twice. The batch is not left half-dispensed.
Try it without signing up
The real terminal runs in your browser at /demo, with a simulated scale and printer – not a video, not a click-through mock-up. The refusals you see there are the same ones as in production.

Team
The team behind d-dispensing
Daniel Vöckler
Founder and Managing Director
Daniel Vöckler brings ten years of management experience. In that time he saw first-hand how slow dispensing and booking were – and that batch control was often a handwritten note, with all the stress that brings. He wanted it automated: fewer checks, a faster process. Optimising processes is still what drives him.
d-dispensing started in 2015 as the dispensing terminal for in-house production and has been in daily use there ever since, with several million positions weighed. In 2019 Daniel Vöckler founded D-Automation GmbH, which develops and supports d-dispensing today.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does d-dispensing cost?
Setup costs €1,000 remotely or €2,500 on site; training for up to 5 people costs €900 remotely or €2,500 on site. The licence is bought outright, with a yearly update fee after that; we quote for your number of weighing benches.
How long does the rollout take?
A weighing station is set up in a few minutes. For the initial setup with the ERP connection and a test run at your plant, allow a few weeks – from order to go-live usually 4–6 weeks, including training your team.
Which scales and ERP systems are supported?
Serial industrial scales from the common manufacturers, including Mettler Toledo, Sartorius and RHEWA – further manufacturers are easy to add – and Zebra label printers (ZPL). myfactory (with xstorage) and weclapp are integrated as ERPs, others on request.
Is d-dispensing GMP compliant?
d-dispensing is built for GMP environments: the server enforces the tolerances, the audit trail is hash-chained, and every weighing is attributed to an operator. Validation is your plant's responsibility; our QA brief provides the documents for it.
What happens when the network drops?
The weighing under way is finished, stored locally and labelled, and the booking replays automatically. New orders can only be opened once the connection is back, so nobody ever works from a stale bill of materials.
Can I try d-dispensing first?
Yes. The demo at /demo runs in your browser without signing up and shows the real terminal with a simulated scale and printer.
Who is behind d-dispensing?
D-Automation GmbH from Müllheim, Germany, founded in 2019 by Daniel Vöckler, who brings ten years of management experience. The terminal has been in production use since 2015.
