Narrative:
Charlotte international airport started new procedures with a dual flow departure into ZDC ARTCC. Automation adapted departure arrival routes (adars) were put in; where if a dispatcher filed a wrong route; the automation piece would capture it and the tower (clt) would issue the proper routing. Aircraft X had [route X] in the computer; which is the proper routing. However; at the rdu VORTAC; the aircraft took a turn towards fkn VORTAC. I asked him what his FMS had; it was rdu [route Y]; which is the old preferred routing [to destination].there was no loss of separation with any aircraft or airspace. However this could be a problem in the future. I'm filing to see where the lapse was. Clt tower should've issued the preferred routing. Or the pilots or dispatch put it wrong into the aircraft's FMS. This needs to be addressed. There are over 160 departures daily with these new sids and the new routing afterwards.
