System and method for forming holes onto a sheet-metal assembly

A method comprising:

• receiving a sheet metal assembly through a conveyor system within a manufacturing cell;
• determining a type of the sheet metal assembly based on information associated with the sheet metal assembly and including a width of the sheet metal assembly;
• obtaining a set of position coordinates corresponding to one or more points on the sheet metal assembly based on the type;
• and
• forming holes on the sheet metal assembly at the one or more points.

A vehicle manufacturing assembly comprising:

• an assembly line path extending in a direction and for transporting a sheet metal assembly;
• a moveable work-performing apparatus positioned relative to the assembly line path;
• and
• a controller coupled to the work-performing apparatus and configured to:
• determine a type for the sheet metal assembly based on the width of the sheet metal assembly;
• obtain a set of position coordinates corresponding to the sheet metal assembly based on the type of the sheet-metal assembly;
• and
• operating the moveable work-performing apparatus to form holes on the sheet metal assembly at locations corresponding to the set of position coordinates.
