Method for Operating a Conveyor System, and Conveyor System

A method for operating a conveyor system, in which assembly line trays, each of which are configured to hold a component, and are configured to be conveyed along a conveying path by stationary conveyor elements, the method comprising:

• recording a respective conveying time for a respective conveyor device during a conveying process of each of the assembly line trays;
• a sensor device measuring, for a respective conveyor element at the respective conveying time, at least one respective parameter value, which characterizes a state of the respective conveyor element and/or the assembly line tray conveyed by the respective conveyor element during the conveying process;
• a respective control device of the respective conveyor element forming a respective data telegram for the respective conveyor element at the respective conveying time, the data telegram comprising the at least one respective parameter value, the conveying time, an assembly line tray ID of the respectively conveyed assembly line tray and/or a conveyor element ID of the respective conveyor element;
• a central electronic computing device compiling the data telegrams to form a dataset:
• evaluating the dataset by way of an anomaly model, which is configured to evaluate an anomaly of the at least one respective parameter value of the respective data telegram;
• if the evaluation reveals that an anomaly of at least one of the parameter values is above a threshold value:
• issuing a service instruction for a corresponding assembly line tray and/or a corresponding conveyor element having the anomaly.
