Provided is a locker system that includes a plurality of lockable doors, a security lock mechanism, and a plurality of compartments. Opening of each lockable door is controlled based on a corresponding security parameter. The security lock mechanism controls opening and closing of each lockable door based on the corresponding security parameter. Each compartment is accessible from a front side and a rear side of the locker system. An access to each compartment from the front side is controlled by a corresponding lockable door. Each compartment is open from the rear side. When a robotic apparatus, transporting one or more items associated with a process at a storage facility, aligns with the locker system from the rear side, the one or more items are accessible from the front side based on opening of one or more corresponding lockable doors of one or more compartments of the plurality of compartments.
