Abstract
A method for operating a conveyor system, in which assembly line trays, which each serve to hold a component, can be conveyed (moved) along a conveyor line by stationary conveyor elements, said method comprising: recording a respective conveying moment for the respective conveyor while conveying the respective assembly line trays; recording at least one respective parameter value by a sensor device for the respective conveyor element at the respective conveying moment; forming a respective data telegram for the respective conveyor element at the respective conveying moment by a respective control device of the respective conveyor element: compiling the data telegrams into a dataset by a central electronic computing device; evaluating the dataset by an anomaly model; if the evaluation reveals that an anomaly of at least one of the parameter values is above a threshold value, issuing a service instruction.
