Abstract: A method for the production monitoring of a labeling machine, and a labeling machine for labeling containers, comprising a transport means for continuously supplying the containers, at least one labeling assembly for transferring labels to the containers, and at least one label store for continuously supplying labels, is described. Accordingly, the filling state of the label store and a machine performance of the transport means and/or of the labeling assembly are continuously measured and, on this basis, at least one remaining running time is calculated, which indicates how long labeling can still be carried out, at the filling state, in the case of an assumed further course of machine performance. The output of the remaining running time facilitates continuous production planning and enables efficient personnel use for the required replenishment of consumables.

Abstract: The invention relates, inter alia, to a device for marking containers for a container treatment system. The device has a container conveyor for transporting the containers. The device has a coupling unit, a labeling module, and a laser-marking module. The labeling module and the laser-marking module can be interchangeably coupled to the coupling unit. Advantageously, the device can be used particularly flexibly, because the labeling module and the laser-marking module can be coupled to the same coupling unit, so that the device can be used flexibly and as required for labeling with the labeling module or for laser-marking with the laser-marking module.

Abstract: An apparatus for printing onto containers is provided, including a transport device that transports the containers to be printed along a specified transport path, wherein the transport device includes a carrier and a plurality of holding devices provided on said carrier for holding the containers to be printed in such a way that the containers to be printed can be transported in an individualised manner, including a first printing unit that prints a specified image element onto the containers, including a second printing unit that is provided along the transport path of the containers after the first printing unit and prints a second image element onto the containers already printed with the first printing element.

Abstract: Examples are disclosed for a labeling machine for labeling containers, such as bottles in the beverage-processing industry. In one example, a labeling machine includes at least one machine unit which in operation can treat containers (e.g., label the containers), and a movable protective element which separates at least part of the machine unit from an associated environment. The protective element comprises a handle for moving the protective element, and the handle comprises a pushbutton for locking and/or unlocking. The pushbutton, when actuated, selectively releases and/or blocks the movement of the protective element.
