Claim 0:
1. A closure system for a fluid container, comprising:
a lip attached to the fluid container, and
a cap, the cap including:
a main body having a cylindrical body portion including a plurality of latches, each of the plurality of latches having a release state and a secure state, each of the plurality of latches configured to be in the release state when a portion of each of the plurality of latches are depressed; and
an actuator ring slidably disposed over the cylindrical body portion of the main body, the actuator ring including:
an annular groove formed in an outer surface of the actuator ring defining an exterior of the cap, the annular groove configured to receive and be engaged by a portion of an automated materials handling system; and
an actuation surface disposed on an inner side of the actuator ring,

wherein in operation of the actuator ring slides along the main body from at least a first position wherein the actuation surface does not depress the portion of each of the latches to a second position wherein the actuation surface depresses the portion of each of the latches and the latches are in the release state,
wherein the plurality of latches engage the lip when in the secure state, and
wherein the cap further comprises a pressure lock, the pressure lock including:
an inlet configured to receive a pressure from an inside of the fluid container; and
a locking member, configured to protrude from the pressure lock into a path over which the actuator ring is slidable along the main body when the pressure received from the inside of the fluid container exceeds a predetermined amount of pressure.
