1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a first set of data via a first environment sensor that reads a tag at a first position while a first parcel traverses a conveyor apparatus, the first environment sensor being located at a second position, the first set of data indicating at least the first position and the second position, the tag being coupled to a first parcel;
receiving a second set of data via a second environment sensor that reads the tag at a third position while the first parcel traverses the conveyor apparatus, the second environment sensor being located at a fourth position, the second set of data indicating at least the third position and the fourth position, the first set of data and the second set of data being a set of load data;
receiving configuration data that indicates one or more positions that the first environment sensor and the second environment sensor are expected to read any tag at; and
determining a parcel position error based on a comparison of the load data and the configuration data, wherein the comparison comprises determining that at least one of: the first position is beyond a first threshold indicated in the configuration data or the third position is beyond the first threshold or a second threshold indicated in the configuration data.
