A wing panel assembly system (100) includes a wing build station (112), a stringer staging station (110), and an overhead gantry sub-system (120) including stringer lifting assemblies (220) having lifting mechanisms (222) and end effectors (224). The end effector has a stringer holder engaging and holding a stringer. The end effector has an actuator operable to move the stringer holder in at least one direction relative to the lifting mechanism. Each stringer lifting assembly is configured to move the stringer (106) from the stringer staging station to the wing build station located relative to a surface of a skin of the wing panel to place the stringer onto the skin of the wing panel (102) in a determined location.
