Container supply system for the transport of a container

A container supply system for the transport of a container along a transport route from a container source to a container receiver, comprising:

• a movement device configured to receive and transport the container along the transport route, the movement device comprising carriers and a drive coupled to a pulling element such that the pulling element is moveable by the drive, the carriers being configured to move the container by the pulling element that pulls the carrier along the transport route;
• a transport belt stretching along the transport route with a length, the container moveable upon the transport belt along the transport route by the movement device;
• and
• a sensor arranged below the transport belt to detect the container, the sensor stretching along a width of the transport belt running perpendicular to the length of the transport belt such that the container moving along the transport route is detectable by the sensor,
• the transport belt being a gliding belt, so that the container is moveable in a gliding manner over a gliding surface of the gliding belt along the transport route and over the sensor.
