Claim 0:
1. A container treatment machine for treating containers, the container treatment machine comprising a treatment unit for treating containers and container receptacles in which containers can be received so as to be rotatable about an axis, the container treatment machine comprising a camera for capturing an image of a container transported in a container receptacle upstream of the treatment unit and an alignment module, wherein the alignment module is configured to rotate the container to a target attitude by controlling the container receptacle, wherein the alignment module comprises a neural network which, by processing the image of the container transported in the container receptacle upstream of the treatment unit, is able to determine a necessary rotation of the container from its current position to the target attitude, and the alignment module is able to control the rotation of the container receptacle depending on the determined rotation, and wherein the neural network is adapted to learn current positions of containers in relation to the target attitude from images acquired during operation of the container treatment machine.
