Shelves or other fixtures may be used to hold items at a facility. Load cells at the shelf may be used to acquire weight data indicative of changes as items are added or removed from the shelf. The shelves may be part of a fixture that includes a door that results in air movement with respect to the shelves when opened or closed. This air movement may produce weight data that is erroneously indicative of an event, such as a pick or place, even when no actual event has taken place. Weight data from load cells of a shelf may be analyzed to determine a trajectory associated with changes in the weight data over time. A portion of the space may be designated as being associated with invalid weight data. If the trajectory avoids this portion of the space, the weight data may be deemed valid.
