1. A method comprising:
receiving first data based at least in part on a first environmental sensor reading a tag coupled to an object while the object traverses an environment and is at a first position, wherein the first environmental sensor is located at a first location, the first position is relative to the first location, and the first data indicates the first position;
receiving second data based at least in part on a second environmental sensor reading the tag while the object traverses the environment and is at a second position, wherein the second environmental sensor is located at a second location, the second position is relative to the second location, and the second data indicates the second location;
receiving configuration data that indicates one or more positions of objects while the objects traverse the environment that the first environmental sensor and the second environmental sensor are expected to read tags coupled to the objects; and
determining, by a computing entity, a position error for the object based at least in part on conducting a comparison of the first data, the second data, and the configuration data, wherein the comparison comprises determining that at least one of the first position or the second position satisfies a threshold indicated in the configuration data.
