Joist table systems and methods

A joist assembly system, comprising:

• a support structure having a structural framework;
• a rigging table system;
• a plurality of material handling systems supported by the structural framework;
• a plurality of welding systems located adjacent the rigging table system, wherein the plurality of material handling systems are supported above the rigging table system and the plurality of welding systems;
• a material supply station located adjacent the support structure;
• a controller system comprising:
• one or more memory components storing computer-readable code;
• and
• one or more processing components operatively coupled to the one or more memory components, wherein when executed the computer-readable code is configured to cause the one or more processing components to:
• communicate with two or more material handling systems of the plurality of material handling systems to pick two or more webs from webs in the material supply station and position the two or more webs with respect to an upper chord and a lower chord on the rigging table system;
• and
• communicate with two or more welding systems of the plurality of welding systems to weld the two or more webs to the upper chord and the lower chord at the same time.
