Abstract: A position tracking system for tracking a relative position between connected modules. A target is arrangeable on and/or within a first connected module, the connected modules mechanically interacting for transporting objects between modules; a position sensor is arrangeable on and/or within a second connected module and is configured for generating a sensor signal according to a relative position between the position sensor and target, a processing unit configured for tracking a relative position between the connected modules from the sensor signal; and a second sensor is configured for generating a second sensor signal according to at least a second parameter, wherein the second sensor is a temperature sensor and/or a humidity sensor, the processing unit being configured for considering the second sensor signal when determining the relative position between the connected modules. Further disclosed are related monitoring systems and methods for tracking and monitoring at least two connected modules.
