A system for monitoring a process step during manufacturing of an assembly sheet includes a detection camera configured to capture a first image of the assembly sheet, the first image including a locating feature of the assembly sheet, a vacuum hold-down device for selectively inhibiting advancement of the assembly sheet along a process step line for a predetermined measurement time, and a measurement camera configured to capture a second image of the assembly sheet responsive to the vacuum hold-down device inhibiting advancement of the assembly sheet, the second image including one or more features of a coupon of the assembly sheet.

A factory management system has a database for managing a factory in which a production line is provided. The factory management system includes a communication unit, a collection and storage unit and a compilation and display unit. The communication unit connects production facilities of the production line with host systems such that the production facilities and the host systems communicate with each other. The collection and storage unit is one of the host systems and collects production status data on a production status from the production facilities via the communication unit and stores the production status data in the database. The compilation and display unit is provided separately from the collection and storage unit via a communication interface. The compilation and display unit compiles a predetermined data out of the production status data stored in the database and display the first predetermined data.
