Gerber in general is not best data set for assembly, alot of processing has to be done, manually or via software tools, all with their nice features, but as you state there is no actual datum XY , pin 1 , rotation references thus has to be 'generated

ODB++ is a manufacturing database much like Gerber that includes: aperture lists, netlists, test files, etc. This "database" is read into Valor Enterprise (CAM) as a "true" representation of your layout database. Valor can supply the scripts that wi
