SECURE STORAGE
Automated smart lockers can be used to provide secure, kiosk-managed storage for products and/or belongings. For example, travelers on long layovers can pay to store their carry-on baggage securely in the locker until it’s time to board their flight.
EQUIPMENT RENTAL
Companies and organizations of all kinds can utilize automated smart lockers to store equipment for convenient rental and return. Customers can pay for and schedule their rental online, in-app, or at the kiosk-managed locker system.
PACKAGE DROP OFF/PICK UP
Delivery services can use automated smart lockers to securely store packages. Customers are then able to pick up their packages at their own convenience by either scanning a QR code or entering their assigned pin number.
mBOX Plus is a computer-operated locker system with full remote administrative functionality.
Designed to integrate with back office systems and hundreds of different components, including input devices, proximity sensors, scanners, payment terminals, printers, and more, mBOX Plus provides a complete package pick-up and drop-off solution.
Flexible in nature from both a hardware and software perspective, operators can utilize Meridian’s Locker Software Development Kit (SDK) to create and customize their own software application. The Software Development Kit can also integrate with Meridian’s MzeroManage remote management software to allow operators to monitor and manage multiple kiosks in remote locations.
mBOX Lite is a local board-operated locker system, providing a simple and seamless user experience.
Utilizing the board and scanner for programming and interactions, the operator assigns a locker by scanning a barcode or entering an order number, and either places the order inside the locker, schedules a drop-off, or assigns the number to that individual for long term use of the locker box. The customer then scans their barcode or enters their number upon arriving at the mBOX, prompting the assigned locker to automatically open.
Administrators can utilize specific administrator codes to access lockers, reset locker codes and service the unit.
SUCCESS STORY
With the majority of their days spent on job sites, many of Carter Machinery’s customers operate outside of the traditional 9–5 work day. Acknowledging the challenges that come along with non-traditional working hours, Carter Machinery partnered with Meridian to deploy an automated 24/7 parts pick-up smart locker at their Salem, Virginia location. Customers simply select and pay for their parts online and receive an email notification when their order is ready for pick-up.
