Abstract: An apparatus for handling, transporting and inspecting containers along a predetermined transport path, having a first sensor device configured for detecting at least one value characteristic of the transported containers, having a first actuator device arranged along the transport path downstream of the first sensor device and configured for acting upon a transported container and a control device that is spaced apart from the sensor and the actuator device is configured for controlling the first actuator device, wherein at least one output by the first sensor device, as a function of the characteristic value, wherein the first sensor device and actuator are in communication with the control device via a cable using a real-time-capable fieldbus, the first sensor device is configured for outputting data, and the communication between the first sensor device, the control device and/or the control device and the first actuator device is in real time.
