Abstract
A method of operating a plant for the treatment of containers may include treating the containers with pre-set treatment parameters by a first treatment unit of the plant. The treatment parameters are capable of being altered at least in part and depend at least in part upon product parameters—characteristic of the container—of the containers to be treated. At least one product parameter characteristic of the container is determined by detecting a recognition mark associated with the container, and at least one treatment parameter is altered on the basis of this characteristic product parameter.
