A system for filling a transport tray for transferring drug portions to a machine tray of an automatic dispensing station, the system comprising:

• a transport tray;
• a machine tray;
• a control device;
• a display device;
• an optical detection device;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a non-transitory machine-readable medium embodying instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
• transmit a target filling of a plurality of receptacles in the transport tray to the control device, wherein the target filling includes at least one of information about at least one type of drug to be filled and the number of drug portions per type of drug and receptacle;
• generate at least one filling template based on the transmitted target filling and on a filling regime;
• display the generated filling template on the display device;
• project the generated filling template onto the transport tray;
• transfer drug portions corresponding to the filling template to the receptacles of the transport tray;
• generate an image of at least the receptacles to be filled in accordance with the target filling;
• detect, determining, and comparing, using the image, the actual filling, quantity, and quality of the added drug portions to the target filling;
• determine if there is a target deviation between the actual filling and the target filling;
• and
• release the transport tray for transferring the drug portions to the machine tray if no target deviation is found.
