Abstract:
1. A method for monitoring the transport of bank notes in a transport system, the transport system including sensors arranged along the transport system that capture transported bank notes and a control device that monitors and controls the transport system on the basis of signals of the sensors, the control device deriving a presence or absence of a bank note at the place of the respective sensor, the method comprising: storing the signals of all the sensors using the control device, wherein the signals of all the sensors are assigned a unique time specification or cycle specification, assigning, by the control device, a unique object code to each of the transported bank notes, linking each assigned object code with the unique time specification or cycle specification, and deriving the occurrence and type of errors upon transport of the bank notes by evaluation of the stored signals of the sensors, wherein the signals of the sensors, that are provided with the unique time specifications or cycle specifications, are associated with the bank notes denoted via the unique object codes.
