A system is provided for dispensing a hair dye formulation into container, comprising: a conveyer belt configured to transport the customer container along a fill line; a plurality of dispensing mechanisms, each connected to a respective bulk containers having a different bulk hair dye color, the plurality of dispensing mechanisms being disposed over a conveyer belt along the fill line; and circuitry configured to receive a plurality of formulas for filling a respective plurality of receiving containers with one or more bulk hair dye colors from among the plurality of bulk containers having the different bulk hair dye color, and control each of the plurality of dispensing mechanisms to perform a dispensing operation to dispense an amount of bulk hair dye color or to not perform a dispensing operation at a time when each of the receiving containers are transported to each of the plurality of dispensing mechanisms along the fill line, wherein the circuitry is configured to adjust a sequence of the receiving containers to be filled in the fill line based on the formulas and a sequence which results in a minimum time to complete filling the receiving containers in the fill line.

IT organization for custom hair dye dispensing system

A system is provided for dispensing a cosmetic container, comprising: a conveyer belt configured to transport a receiver container along a fill line; a robotic arm disposed at an ingress position of the fill line; a sensor disposed at an egress position of the fill line; circuitry configured to receive an order having a container type; control the robotic arm to obtain a container corresponding to the container type and place it a predetermined position on the conveyor belt at an entrance of the fill line; transit information of a sequence position of the container and the container type to the sensor; verify that the correct container is at the sequence position at the egress of the fill line after the container has been filed with a cosmetic product.

Flexible production of cosmetics in factory

A system is provided for dispensing a hair dye formulation into a customer container. The system includes a conveyer belt configured to transport the customer container along a fill line; a plurality of dispensing mechanisms, each connected to a respective container having a different bulk hair dye color, the plurality of dispensing mechanisms being disposed over a conveyer belt along the fill line. The system is configured to receive a formula for filling the customer container with one or more bulk hair dye colors from among the plurality of containers having the different bulk hair dye color, and control each of the plurality of dispensing mechanisms to perform a dispensing operation to dispense an amount of bulk hair dye color or to not perform a dispensing operation at a time when the customer container is transported to each of the plurality of dispensing mechanisms along the fill line.

Custom hair dye dispensing system and intermediate bulk container for storing a bulk hair dye

A system is provided for generating a custom hair dye formulation to be dispensed into a single customer container for a particular customer. The system establishes a connection with a user device of the particular customer over a network, receives a selection of a preferred type of expertise of a colorist, determines an available colorist that corresponds to the preferred type of expertise, establishes a video communication session between the particular customer and a colorist device of the determined colorist, causes display of a customer interface to the customer, causes display of a colorist interface to the colorist device, and transmits the generated custom hair dye formulation to a fill site, via the network.
