Abrégé

A substance weighing system and method are provided. The system includes a balance, and axle, a substance dish, an axle support bracket, and an axle rotator. The axle has a rotational axis extending between first and second axial ends. The substance dish is fixed to the axle adjacent the first axial end. The axle support bracket mounts the axle relative to the balance and in a manner that permits the axle to rotate about its rotational axis. The axle rotator has a motor and a clutch mechanism. The clutch mechanism communicates with the motor and is configured to cause the axle to rotate between first and second rotational positions. In the first rotational position the substance dish is positioned to hold a substance, and the axle rotator is in a contactless state. In the second rotational position, the substance dish is positioned to release the substance.

The present disclosure provides a method for generating a solution, comprising receiving a solution order. The solution order may comprise one or more order parameters for the solution. The solution order may be inputted into a trained algorithm that outputs one or more solution parameters for the solution. The one or more solution parameters may be used to generate the solution comprising a liquid from a plurality of liquids and a solid from a plurality of solids. The solution can meet the one or more order parameters at an accuracy of at least 90%. The solution may be dispensed.
