1. A component mounting line in which multiple component mounters are arranged along a conveyance path of a circuit board and, in the multiple component mounters, a component supplied from a feeder, which is set in a feeder setting section of each component mounter, is mounted on the circuit board, the component mounting line comprising:
an automatic exchanging device configured to move along a front face of the component mounting line in an arrangement direction of the multiple component mounters to automatically exchange the feeder with respect to the feeder setting section of each component mounter;
a feeder arrangement monitoring section configured to monitor an arrangement status of the feeder set in the feeder setting section of each component mounter; and
a control device configured to control an operation of the automatic exchanging device,
wherein when the control device is determined that an empty space of the feeder setting section of any one of the component mounters is equal to or larger than a predetermined value based on a monitoring result of the feeder arrangement monitoring section, the control device controls the operation of the automatic exchanging device such that an automatically exchangeable unit is set in the empty space of the feeder setting section of the respective component mounter.
