Abstract

An apparatus includes a control system and a user accessible delivery zone to which products are dispensed from respect storage locations at least some of which are in a climate controlled container (CCC) having open and closed positions via a door operable to open and close. The control system is operable to pick one or more of the products from their respective storage locations by driving a pick head to a selected storage location of each product to be picked. When picking products stored in the CCC, the door is opened, and the pick head picks and moves one or more selected products from its storage location in the CCC, and the door to the CCC is then closed. Each of the one or more picked products is moved by the pick head to the delivery zone where it is released to a user.
