1. A process for automating control of an industrial vehicle based on location, the process comprising:
scanning an environment using an optical scanner affixed to the industrial vehicle, wherein the optical scanner is fixed in an orientation that scans in a travel direction of the industrial vehicle;
identifying a marker defined by a series of optical tags by recursively:
receiving, by an optical detector on the industrial vehicle, a reflection indicative of a signal emitted by the optical scanner;
measuring a received signal value of the reflection indicative of the signal emitted by the optical scanner;
verifying whether the measured received signal value is indicative of an optical tag based upon the measured received signal value to create a present indication of the optical tag; and
concatenating the present indication of the optical tag to the marker; and
performing, based on the identified marker:
transforming the marker into an environmental condition;
determining a status of the industrial vehicle, wherein the status correlates to the environmental condition; and
applying an automated control on the industrial vehicle based on the environmental condition and the status of the industrial vehicle.
