Claim One:
1. A system for processing a plurality of sheets of material, the system comprising: an input configured to receive the plurality of sheets of material; an output; a transport mechanism configured to transport the plurality of sheets of material, one sheet at a time, from the input along a transport path to the output; a manufacturing process device disposed along the transport path and configured to change each of the plurality of sheets of material from a first state to a second state; a first image capture device configured to obtain one or more first images, each of the one or more first images being of at least one of the plurality of sheets of material; at least one processor communicatively coupled to the first image capture device, the at least one processor being configured to determine process-impact information based on the one or more first images, the process-impact information including at least a caliper measurement of each of the at least one of the plurality of sheets of material; and a second image capture device configured to obtain one or more second images each of the one or more second images being of the at least one of the plurality of sheets of material the process-impact information being further based on the one or more second images, wherein the change in caliper is determined by the difference between the first caliper measurement and the corresponding second caliper measurement of each of the at least one of the plurality of sheets of material.
