1. An arrangement for introducing a roll container into a roll container loading station for filling the roll container with sorted packages in a logistics centre, comprising:
a roll container which has a loading opening on its upper side, via which parcels or other articles to be loaded can be loaded into the container wherein the roll container is a forwarding container or an intermediate container, and with a roll container loading station, wherein the arrangement has a transport system for transporting roll containers, wherein the transport system connects a receiving location for empty roll containers to the roll container loading station, wherein the transport system has an end position for roll containers transported with the transport system in a loading position of the roll container in the interior of the roll container loading station, and the arrangement has a sensor system, wherein the sensor system has an optical camera in the interior of the roll container loading station, the optical camera or the sensor system having an image processing system which is set up to determine at least one relative distance between the roll container and at least one reference point inside the roll container loading station when a roll container is arranged in the loading position inside the roll container loading station, wherein the reference point is an inner boundary of a roll container receiving space of the roll container loading station.
