Abstract: A system and method provide for the dispensing of a consumable product according to product information provided with the product. The system may include a controller and an interface device configured to read a memory device included with the consumable product. Based on the product data read from the memory device the controller generates at least one control signal transmittable to a dispenser which in turn dispenses the consumable product in a desired manner.

Abstract: A system and method that provides for injection control of a liquid additive in a liquid dispensation system. Included as part of the system is a controller device configured to generate one set of control signals for initiating and terminating liquid dispensation to one or more areas while simultaneously generating at least one second control signal which controls the injection rate of a liquid additive to the liquid being dispense. The liquid dispensation rate may be controlled according to a number of criteria, which are received from an external source from the controller or retrieved from an internal memory. The system may be further configured such that the dispensation rate is modified according to a detected condition.
