Abstract
An equipment control system detects a physical position of a first vehicle, carrying a material to deliver, relative to a second vehicle. A physical position of a conveyor is controlled, relative to an outlet opening defined on the first vehicle and an inlet opening defined on the second vehicle. The material is then illustratively automatically conveyed from the first vehicle to the second vehicle.
