Abstract
Container closure systems may include various types of latches to secure doors. The latches may present one or more state identifiers, such as open state identifiers and closed state identifiers. Different state identifiers may be presented and scannable based on a state of the door and latch. For example, an open state identifier may be presented and scannable if a door is open and unlocked, and a closed state identifier may be presented and scannable if a door is closed and locked. By scanning and identifying the state identifiers, safe and efficient operations of containers may be facilitated.
