Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system comprising a storage device for articles and a load state detection device, wherein the load state detection device comprises at least one weighing apparatus and at least one evaluating device, wherein the weighing apparatus is designed and configured to detect measured values representative of a weight of the storage device and the evaluating device is designed and configured to determine the weight of the storage device based on the measured values of the weighing apparatus. The weight of the storage device is determined when the measured values of the weighing apparatus are not affected by devices of the storage device. The present disclosure further relates to a computer network having at least one such storage device and to a method for determining a load state of a storage device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a computer network comprising a storage facility, a data processing device, a data transmission device, and a server in operative connection with the storage facility. The storage facility comprises a load state detection device and a user detection device. The user detection device is configured to record a time period of at least one user in front of and/or in the vicinity of the storage facility. The load state detection device is configured to detect a removal of at least one article from the storage facility and/or loading of the storage facility with at least one article. Data acquired by the user detection device and/or the load state detection device of the storage facility can be transmitted to the server and/or can be retrieved from the server. The present disclosure also relates to a method for operating such a computer network.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a storage facility for articles, comprising at least one load state detection device and at least one user detection device. The user detection device is configured to record a time period of at least one user in front of the storage facility, a time period up to removal of at least one article from and/or loading of the storage facility with at least one article by the at least one user, and/or a time period of at least one user in front of the storage facility without removal from and/or loading of the storage facility. The load state detection device is configured to detect a loading of and/or removal from the storage facility. The present disclosure further relates to a computer network having at least one such storage facility and to a method for detecting usage of such a storage facility.
