An entirely new generation of automated dissolution systems is the IDS-1000 and the DTS-800.
The fully automated Fibre Optic IDS 1000 In-Situ-Dissolution Test system incorporates a UV Diode-Array Detector, a 9-channel multiplexer and holds up to 8 fibre dip probes which measure straight inside the media. Fast sampling sequences, a full spectra scan is available for all connected vessels in less than 30 seconds, immediate result display, minimum change over time from test to test are some of the advantages offered by the IDS 1000. 
The DTS-800 is a "conventional" fully automated dissolution test system which incorporates a built-in UV/VIS Diode-Array Detector, a built-in Peristaltic Pump and a built-in 8-cell Changer. Due to the "all-in-1" design tubing is short, measuring time is fast and bench space saving is enormous, just 100 cm. This is valid for the IDS-1000, too.
The IDS-1000 and DTS-800 systems are driven by the WinDiss32 Dissolution software package.
As you have seen already this is the area for Fully Automated Dissolution testing products. Most people describe fully automated as having the instrument do everything (take measurements, samples and calculate results and so on). They add the tablets themselves when prompted to do so from the screen and are always filling and cleaning the vessels themselves. Automated Dissolution Testing in this case does mean sampling, measuring, and result calculation are automated.
"Conventional" Automated On line and Off line Dissolution Systems are also available as you can see on this pages. An on line system is usualy understood as a "closed loop" dissolution system. This incorporates a Dissolution Bath a suitable Pump and an UV/VIS Spectrophotometer with a Multi-Cell Changer.
An off line system includes an Auto Sampler which will collect the sampled dissolution media and offer for example Dilution as well as direct injection of the prepared sample into either an UV/VIS Spectrophotometer or a HPLC System.
