System and method for operating a system for treating containers

15:

• The method according to claim 14,
• wherein
• an identifier generating device of the system provides the identifier which is suitable and intended for a unique identification of a container.

16:

• The method according to claim 14,
• wherein
• the containers are provided with the ID during their production and/or temporal before and/or during a forming process from a plastic preform to the plastic container.

17:

• The method according to claim 14,
• wherein
• the ID is detected at least once before the container is discharged from the treatment apparatus.

18:

• The method according to claim 14,
• wherein
• the data value is selected from a group containing information relating to the container, to a measured value, to a treatment parameter, to a process data value, to a time stamp, to a production date, to a product for the container, to the treatment apparatus, to machine data, to an outer packaging, to the transport device, to a distribution modality, to a distribution location and similar.

19:

• The method according to claim 14,
• wherein
• at least two data values of different kind are collected, which are assignable to the same ID and/or the same identifier and which are collected by at least two different treatment apparatuses.

20:

• A system for treating a plurality of containers, having at least one treatment apparatus which is configured for carrying out at least one treatment step on the containers, wherein the treatment apparatus has at least one data collection device which is configured for data collection of at least one data value with respect to the container and/or with respect to at least one treatment step, wherein the system has at least one detection device for detecting an ID of the containers, by means of which the containers can each be uniquely identified,
• wherein
• the system has a communication device which is configured to at least temporarily establish a communication connection with at least one memory device which is cloud-based and/or is connected or connectable to the system at least temporarily via a public network for data communication, wherein an identifier which can be uniquely assigned to the ID is stored and/or can be stored in the memory device, wherein the treatment apparatus is configured, suitable and intended to provide the at least one data value to the communication device for transmission to and/or for storage in the memory device.

21:

• The system according to claim 20,
• wherein
• a data transmission device is provided which collects the data values of at least two treatment apparatuses to be transmitted to the memory device before they are transmitted to the memory device.

22:

• The system according to claim 20,
• wherein
• the communication device has an integration layer, wherein a communication connection between the treatment apparatus and the memory device can be established exclusively via the integration layer.

23:

• The system according to claim 20,
• wherein
• the communication device has at least one wired communication bus for transmitting data, via which communication of the treatment apparatus with the memory device takes place.

24:

• The system according to claim 20,
• wherein
• the treatment apparatus is selected from a group comprising a heating apparatus for heating a preform, a forming apparatus for forming a plastic preform into a plastic bottle, a sterilizing apparatus for sterilizing a container, a production apparatus for producing a glass bottle, a filling apparatus for filling a container with a product, an inspection device for inspecting a plastic preform or bottle, a labeling apparatus for labeling a container, a sealing apparatus for sealing a container, a control device, a packaging device, a direct printing device for printing a container, an assembling apparatus for assembling a plurality of containers into an assembly, a destroying apparatus for destroying the container, and similar.

25:

• The system according to claim 20,
• wherein
• the treatment apparatus is configured to receive data relating to a container to be treated, transmitted by the communication device from the memory device, and to make a change in at least one setting and/or size and/or at least one process parameter relating to the treatment of the container to be treated.

26:

• A system of a system for treating a plurality of containers as claimed in claim 20, and at least one public network-accessible and/or cloud-based storage device.
