Method and system for automatically sequencing hole drilling operations supporting one-up assembly

A device comprising:

• a memory containing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor, operably connected to the memory, that executes the instructions to perform method for automating an assembling sequence operation for a workpiece using an one-up assembly process that uses adjacent hole clamping, the method comprising:
• determining a location on the workpiece to be secured sufficiently to maintain a position of the workpiece during assembling;
• creating an adjacency list from points for the workpiece to be assembled based on an adjacency to the location that is determined;
• controlling an assembly machine for assembling the workpiece using a sequence of assembly operations based on the adjacency list in the one-up assembly process that uses adjacent hole clamping;
• identifying potential errors in the sequence of assembly operations;
• determining a revised sequence of assembly operations based on the potential errors that are identified;
• and
• controlling the assembly machine based on the revised sequence of assembly operations.
