Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A profile detection method is provided. A Global Positioning System unit and a laser sensor are provided to be disposed adjacent an article wherein the Global Positioning System unit, the laser sensor, and the article are relatively movable. Outputs of the Global Positioning System unit and the laser sensor are sensed. The steps of sensing an article identification tag and developing an indication of article location based on sensing the article identification tag are performed. An indication device develops an indication of a profile of the article responsive to the sensed outputs of the Global Positioning System unit and the laser sensor.
