Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a first code reading device;
a first closure mechanism for controlling access to an area, wherein the first closure mechanism is in communication with the first code reading device;
a second code reading device;
a second closure mechanism for controlling access to a container within the area, wherein the second closure mechanism is in communication with the second code reading device;
a weight sensor associated with the container and configured to determine a weight of one or more items within the container;
an output device within the area, wherein the output device includes one or more of a display device or an audio device;
one or more memories storing computer-executable instructions; and
one or more hardware processors to execute the computer-executable instructions to:
receive a first code from the first code reading device, wherein the first code is associated with an order for one or more items;
determine first correspondence between the first code and order data indicative of one or more codes, wherein the one or more codes are associated with the order and with the one or more items;
in response to the first correspondence, open the first closure mechanism to provide access to the area;
receive a second code from the second code reading device, wherein the second code is associated with a first item of the one or more items;
determine second correspondence between the second code and the order data;
in response to the second correspondence, open the second closure mechanism to provide access to the container;
receive sensor data from the weight sensor, wherein the sensor data indicates a weight of an object placed in the container;
determine third correspondence between the sensor data and item data indicative of an expected weight of the first item;
generate data indicative of a return of the first item; and
in response to the third correspondence, provide first output to the output device, wherein the first output indicates the return of the first item.
