Smart devices have caused a modern Renaissance of innovation and automation in the technology industry. By exploring new ideas, and oftentimes reworking old ones, technology professionals have been on the lookout for the next quantum leap forward in the digital age.
Twenty years ago the popular idea of a phone was considered vastly different from what it would be today. Because now, in addition to being able to make a simple call, a phone is considered an essential personal device which can access the internet, make payment transactions, stream movies and TV, capture photos and videos, and be able to instantly connect to almost anyone or anyone in the world.
Based on recent market projections, the search for the next large-scale application for smart devices is over. One device, in particular, is currently being installed by millions across the globe, and it’s radically changing the landscape of the self-service industry. Once again, it comes from the reinvented version of a classic tool—this time—the traditional metal storage device: Lockers.
Designed for application in nearly any industry, Meridian’s Smart Lockers upgrade classic storage options with the efficiency, popularity, and convenience of modern automation all while being the next frontier of smart tech innovation.
Locking Into The Age of Automation
The self-service model of Smart Lockers highlights the newest wave of consumers looking to upgrade their business workflows with more efficient automation.
In the years following the Covid pandemic, self-service options have become an increasingly normal, if not essential, part of most people’s day-to-day life. Consumers now have more access to resources and device capabilities than ever before as the world becomes progressively more interconnected through smart infrastructure.
Along with the growing influx of endless digital options, there’s also been a growing demand for mis hands-off and streamlined products and services. Due to the rising popularity of consumers’ interest in ease and convenience, automation has recently emerged as one of the fastest-growing and most profitable fields in all of tech.
Unlocking the Future of Industrial Innovation
According to Yahoo Finance, the Smart Locker market is projected to grow to $1.5 billion by 2028, and Fortune Business claims the market for Parcel Lockers is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.5% by 2029.
As far as the self-service market as a whole, it’s projected to grow by a CAGR of 16.4% and more than double its profits by 2026. Additionally, more niche markets like smart offices which often incorporate Smart Lockers are projected to grow by 11.1% by 2030.
Meaning that there’s no better time than today to start exploring how to upgrade and incorporate Smart Lockers and self-service solutions into any business model.
