An automated clamp (70) has a clamp frame (71), motorised clamp jaws (72, 73, 75), and a robot end effector connector (74). One of the clamp jaws can receive a drilling tool and/or a fastening tool. One of the clamp jaws has a position sensor for detecting a position of the clamp. The clamp forms part of an automated clamping system. The clamping system is used to automatically clamp a rib web to a rib post or integrated rib foot of an aircraft wing box for automated drilling and/or fastening the rib web to a rib post or integrated rib foot.
