Bring your container, fill what you need

The Smart Liquid Detergent Dispensing Station is a modular self-service unit that allows customers to refill their own containers with liquid detergent — selecting the product and quantity directly on a 21.5″ touchscreen, with software-controlled peristaltic dosing across 3 independent channels. Each channel connects to a dedicated barrel (up to 120L), enabling simultaneous availability of up to 3 detergent variants. Payment is handled through an integrated self-service POS terminal.

Designed for retailers, supermarkets, and sustainability-focused operators, the station features a 43″ advertising display for brand content, a lightbox for marketing materials, and a CCTV mount — combining a circular retail experience with a high-impact brand activation surface. A storage module handles both staff consumables and empty customer containers, keeping the retail area organised and operational.

Fully Connected. Operated Through One Platform.

Every unit ships with Bobnet OS pre-integrated — the device-resident operating system that standardizes electronics control, payment processing, connectivity, and real-time telemetry. From the moment the device goes live, it is remotely accessible: administrators can configure catalog and pricing through the Backoffice Web App, field teams manage replenishment and stock via the Ops Mobile App, and end-users interact through the on-device Kiosk UI or the End-User Mobile App. There is no separate software to deploy — the platform is already there.

Operations are governed through the Chain Management System, the orchestration layer that holds business logic — assortment rules, pricing models, access policies, payment flows, and reporting — and applies it consistently across every device in the network. Monitoring runs continuously through the Technical Console, which tracks device health, transaction anomalies, connectivity status, and inventory drift, routing exceptions into actionable workflows before they become operational problems. The result is a system that stays consistent, diagnosable, and scalable whether you run one unit or a hundred.

Available as Single Unit or as Part of a Chain. How This Device Operates in a Chain

This solution is available for deployment as a single autonomous unit — operational from day one, with no dependency on other devices. It connects to Bobnet OS and the Chain Management System independently, giving you full software visibility, cashless payments, and remote management from a single point.

Single Unit Deployment

  • Plug & Play
  • Independent
  • Full software stack

Chain Deployment

  • Unified rules
  • Coordinated fleet
  • Scaled operations

For organizations running multiple locations or higher-volume environments, this device is also available as part of a Chain — a structured group of units operating together under unified rules, shared catalog, and coordinated telemetry. A chain removes the need to manage each unit individually: pricing, replenishment workflows, and reporting are governed centrally, while each device executes autonomously on-site.

When deployed as part of a chain, this device becomes a managed node within a coordinated operational unit. The Chain Management System assigns it to a defined group — alongside other devices of the same or complementary type — and governs the entire group under shared rules: one product catalog, one pricing model, one replenishment policy. Each device in the chain executes those rules autonomously on-site, while all data — transactions, inventory levels, health states, alerts — flows back to the same unified reporting layer. There is no need to configure or monitor each unit separately; the chain behaves as one system.

Chains are the foundation of Human Free Process and STAFF FREE Networks — the higher automation levels where multiple device types work together to cover complete operational flows without on-site staff. A single chain of this device type can handle a discrete routine end-to-end: product access, payment, receipt, and exception handling. Multiple chains, connected through Bobnet OS and the Chain Management System, can cover an entire site or a multi-location network under one operational model. The architecture is designed to grow: you start with a chain, and when the business is ready, you extend it — same platform, same rules, larger network.

Retailers selling liquid detergents rely on pre-packaged units, generating packaging waste and limiting customer flexibility in quantity selection.
Routine eliminated
Manual product dispensing, shelf restocking of packaged units, and cashier-assisted checkout for detergent purchases.
Automation coverage
Customers select product type and quantity on the touchscreen, dispense directly into their container, and pay via the integrated POS — fully unattended.
Quantified impact (per location)
Key Operational Assumptions
Operational volume
Refill transactions per day: 35
Staff time per transaction (without automation): 4 minutes
Operating days per year: 360
Manual workload
35 × 4 = 140 minutes / day
140 ÷ 60 = 2.33 hours / day
2.33 × 360 ≈ 839 hours / year
Automation effectiveness
Automated share: 95%
Adoption rate: 85%
Routine work eliminated
839 × 95% × 85% ≈ 677 hours / year
FTE
677 ÷ 2,000 = 0.34 FTE
Net operational impact
≈ 677 hours eliminated per year
≈ 0.34 FTE reallocated
Management outcome
Reduced packaging costs and waste
Higher customer engagement through sustainability positioning
Lower restocking frequency with large-barrel supply model

FAQ

How does this reduce the burden on my staff or management team? − +
The system operates autonomously around the clock, so residents or guests can access laundry essentials at any hour without needing someone on-site to assist them. Restocking is straightforward and infrequent, meaning your team spends less time fielding requests and more time on higher-value tasks.
What does it look like to get this up and running? − +
Deployment is designed to be fast and low-disruption — the unit is self-contained and requires minimal space and setup. Most operators are live within a short timeframe, with no major infrastructure changes needed, so you can start delivering value almost immediately.
Can this actually generate revenue, or is it purely a convenience amenity? − +
It can do both — you set the pricing, so the machine can be run as a revenue-generating service that offsets operational costs or turns a profit over time. Many operators find it pays for itself relatively quickly while simultaneously improving the experience for the people they serve.
How does this improve the experience for the people using our facility? − +
Forgetting detergent or running out mid-cycle is a common frustration — this eliminates that problem entirely by putting essentials exactly where and when people need them. The result is a noticeably smoother, more self-sufficient experience that reflects well on your facility and keeps people satisfied.
How do I keep track of sales, inventory, and performance without adding complexity to my operations? − +
The system includes remote monitoring and reporting tools that give you visibility into stock levels, sales data, and usage patterns — all without requiring a physical check. This means you can make informed restocking and pricing decisions from wherever you are, keeping operations lean and efficient.
