A method for assembling products in manufacturing process, the method comprising the steps of: providing a sensor, the sensor including a sensor clock; providing a controller, the controller including a controller clock; synchronizing the sensor clock with the controller clock such that the reported time of the controller clock and the sensor clock are correlated; advancing a substrate in a machine direction through a converting process; virtually segmenting the substrate into a plurality of virtual segments; combining component parts with the substrate; inspecting at least one of the substrate and component parts with the sensor; communicating inspection parameters from the sensor to the controller; assigning a timestamp to each inspection parameter, each timestamp based on the sensor clock; receiving the inspection parameters and corresponding timestamps from the sensor into the controller; correlating each inspection parameter with one virtual segment based on the timestamp of the inspection parameter; identifying component positions in virtual segments based on the inspection parameters; adjusting the placement of the component parts on the substrate; and converting the substrate into discrete articles.
