The system further comprises a sensing unit (112) configured to detect whether the cup is dispensed at the dispensing position and initiate a corrective dispensing operation when the cup is not detected. The system (100) further includes one or more limit switches (120) configured to provide positional feedback during homing and resetting operations."
