Systems and methods of generating landing solutions for containers onto landing surfaces using multiple measurement points generated by a measuring device or multiple measuring devices are described. In particular, methods of analyzing the plurality of measurement and from the analysis of the data, determining the location and orientation, in the container handling equipment's frame of reference, of where to place a shipping container onto a landing surface present within the equipment's workspace are described. This location can then be used by the equipment's automation system to automatically place the shipping container onto the landing surface without the need for human input, or relatively little human interaction or input. The systems and methods are applicable to operating in a landside transfer zone as well as outside such zone, and as such would be applicable to install on any container handling equipment which can land containers on equipment from above.
