1. A container management system (1) with a number of containers (2) which have identifying, electronically readable codes assigned to them, and with a number of dispensing/filling stations configured for dispensing a liquid from the container (2) or supplying said container with a liquid, characterized in that electronic reading units are associated with the dispensing/filling stations, by means of which codes of containers (2) are readable, in that data read by electronic reading units are fed to a cloud-based computer system (13) which is designed for storing and analyzing the data, and in that monitoring of distributed systems, even globally distributed container systems and systems for emptying and filling of containers associated with said container systems, is enabled with the cloud-based computer system, wherein electronic reading units are connected to an interface unit (11) individually or in groups, said interface unit being connected with the cloud-based computer system (13) via a wirelessly operating data transmission unit (12), wherein at least one control unit (5) is connected to the interface unit (11), wherein control commands for dispensing and/or filling processes are generated by means of the cloud-based computer system based on data transmitted by means of electronic reading units, wherein dispensing and filling processes of all containers of the overall system are controlled via the cloud-based computer system, and wherein control commands are sent to control units by the cloud-based computer system, wherein with the control commands, the cloud-based computer system accurately specifies how the control units control the individual control processes, in particular dispensing and filling processes of containers, and the cloud-based computer system accurately specifies and monitors the functions of all control units.
