A system for manufacturing and inserting a pre-determined number of material-filled pouches into containers, the system comprising: a pouch providing system comprising a lane, wherein the lane comprises a pouch making machine and a hold-back structure; a conveyor system structured and arranged to move a container into alignment with the lane; and a controller structured and arranged to control the hold-back structure in the lane such that the predetermined number of pouches are inserted into the container when the container is aligned with the lane, characterized in that the pouch providing system comprises a plurality of lanes (Ln); the conveyor system is structured and arranged to move a plurality of containers into alignment with the plurality of lanes (Ln); the controller is structured and arranged to control the hold-back structure in each one of the plurality of lanes (Ln) such that the predetermined number of pouches are inserted into each of the plurality of containers when the plurality of containers are aligned with the plurality of lanes (Ln); the pouch making machine of each one of the lanes comprises a material feeder structured and arranged to control an amount of material that is included in each of the pouches made by the pouch making machine; the system further comprises a weigh station structured and arranged to detect a weight of each one of the plurality of containers after the pouches are inserted into the plurality of containers, and the controller is structured and arranged to: compare the detected weight of a respective one of the containers to a low threshold and a high threshold; reject the respective container when the detected weight is less than the low threshold or greater than the high threshold; and adjust an output of the material feeder in a respective one of the lanes based on the detected weight of one of the containers that was filled at the respective lane. a pouch providing system comprising a lane, wherein the lane comprises a pouch making machine and a hold-back structure; a conveyor system structured and arranged to move a container into alignment with the lane; and a controller structured and arranged to control the hold-back structure in the lane such that the predetermined number of pouches are inserted into the container when the container is aligned with the lane, characterized in that the pouch providing system comprises a plurality of lanes (Ln); the conveyor system is structured and arranged to move a plurality of containers into alignment with the plurality of lanes (Ln); the controller is structured and arranged to control the hold-back structure in each one of the plurality of lanes (Ln) such that the predetermined number of pouches are inserted into each of the plurality of containers when the plurality of containers are aligned with the plurality of lanes (Ln); the pouch making machine of each one of the lanes comprises a material feeder structured and arranged to control an amount of material that is included in each of the pouches made by the pouch making machine; the system further comprises a weigh station structured and arranged to detect a weight of each one of the plurality of containers after the pouches are inserted into the plurality of containers, and the controller is structured and arranged to: compare the detected weight of a respective one of the containers to a low threshold and a high threshold; reject the respective container when the detected weight is less than the low threshold or greater than the high threshold; and adjust an output of the material feeder in a respective one of the lanes based on the detected weight of one of the containers that was filled at the respective lane. compare the detected weight of a respective one of the containers to a low threshold and a high threshold; reject the respective container when the detected weight is less than the low threshold or greater than the high threshold; and adjust an output of the material feeder in a respective one of the lanes based on the detected weight of one of the containers that was filled at the respective lane.
