Summary: | Systems and methods for determining a position of an object relative to another object are disclosed. One or more inductive rangefinders are used to determine a distance between an object, such as a stackable container for a drilling operation, and a second such container. A crane or other moving device is capable of stacking the containers on top of one another without the need for human operators being nearby. A processing unit makes calculations to identify the distance between the objects and a direction in which the object should move to arrive at the desired location. |
