Micro ingredient weighingthe highest-risk step, hard-gated.
Micro ingredients — actives, vitamins, allergens, controlled substances — drive the highest regulatory and recall risk in any batch. V5's micro weighing workflow uses high-resolution scale streaming, two-person witness, lot-status gating, expiry checks, allergen segregation and cleaning verification — so the wrong lot, the wrong potency, or the wrong cleaning state physically can't pass the kiosk.
What changes once Micro ingredient weighing is live.
Indicative ranges from V5 pilot deployments. Your numbers will land near these once the workflow is operator-led and e-signed at the step.
What changes the day you switch this on.
Manual, paper-driven, and only audited after the fact.
Tribal knowledge in spreadsheets and shared drives.
Errors caught at month-end — too late to fix the batch.
Different teams keep their own version of the truth.

What you actually get
Operator-led, e-signed, immutable. Engineered for regulated manufacturers — not retrofitted.
High-resolution scale support
Analytical and precision balances (Mettler XPR/XPE, Sartorius Cubis, A&D HR) stream to 0.1 mg with stability detection — the reading only seals when the balance is settled.
Two-person witness on actives
Witness e-signature required on every micro weigh. Role-gated, time-stamped and logged with Part 11 audit trail.
Potency & allergen flags drive the rule
Ingredients flagged as actives, allergens or controlled substances pick up the appropriate workflow automatically — no relying on the operator remembering.
Cleaning verification gates the next batch
If the previous batch ran an allergen, the kiosk won't release the line until the cleaning record is signed and verified — not a paper checklist.
Expiry & retest gating
Approaching-expiry and retest-due lots are blocked from dispense — quality, not the operator, owns the override.
Genealogy survives blending & filling
The gram of active dispensed at 06:14 is bonded to every finished container it touches — forwards and backwards.
Curious how this lands in your environment?
Where AI actually earns its place.
On the highest-risk weigh in the batch, AI's role is narrow and specific: catch the stability, potency or expiry mismatch before the balance seals a reading.
- 01
Stability-read anomalies flagged, not just blocked
Where an analytical balance takes longer than usual to settle or shows repeated instability at 0.1 mg resolution, AI flags the pattern to the supervisor as a possible balance or environment issue, rather than leaving the operator to just keep retrying.
- 02
Expiry and retest proximity surfaced ahead of the dispense
Before a micro-ingredient lot is queued for weigh-out, AI checks its expiry and retest-due date against the batch date and flags anything close to the line for quality to review, ahead of the kiosk's hard block.
- 03
Cleaning-verification readiness checked before changeover
AI confirms whether the required cleaning record for an allergen changeover has actually been signed and verified, and flags the gap early rather than the operator discovering it at the kiosk gate.
AI never overrides an expiry, retest or cleaning-verification block — those gates are enforced by the kiosk regardless of any AI flag, and only quality can authorise an exception, in writing.
One operator action — a complete, signed record.
What it leaves behind
- 0.1 mg resolution with stability detection
- Two-person witness e-signature on every active
- Allergen cleaning verification required before next batch
- Expiry + retest blocks at the kiosk
- Free trial, no credit card, onboard in days
