Method for operating a labelling system

A method for operating a labeling system for labeling individual packs, the labeling system comprising a labeling device, the labeling device being equipped with a feed assembly for transporting respective packs, with a dispensing assembly for dispensing a label detachable from a material strip and with an application assembly for applying the dispensed label to the respective pack as functional units, at least one of these functional units or all of these functional units in each case comprising a sensor assembly, the labeling device comprising a control assembly, which in a labeling routine controls the functional units for the purpose of labeling the individual packs, the labeling system comprising a monitoring assembly, which during the labeling routine, in a monitoring routine, captures the sensor data determined by the sensor assemblies of the at least one functional unit in accordance with a sensor capture density predefined for the respective functional unit, and the labeling system comprising a user interface, wherein:

• a user query routine is carried out by means of the monitoring assembly, in which user query routine a user, by means of the user interface, is requested to input a state relating to a functional aspect of the labeling system and the state thereupon input by the user is communicated to the monitoring assembly;
• the monitoring assembly compares the input state with a predefined state and, in the event of a deviation of the input state from the predefined state, carries out an internal reaction routine in which, by comparison with the previous sensor capture density, a changed, in particular increased, sensor capture density of at least one functional unit is predefined;
• and
• following the user query routine, the labeling routine and the monitoring routine are carried out using the changed sensor capture density predefined from the user query routine.
