Abstract

A method for tracking a component in a production line having a plurality of processing systems includes processing and/or testing, by each of the processing systems, the component, providing a processing signal characterizing the processing and/or testing for a higher-level electronic computing unit, and tracking, by the computing unit based on the received processing signals, the component through the production line. A query signal characterizing a component property of one of the processing systems of the production line is received by the computing unit. The component is ascertained by the computing unit and at least one component information signal characterizing the component property of the ascertained component is provided.
