USE CASES
ORDER PICKUP
Restaurants and retailers, alike, can utilize smart lockers for convenient order pickup. Customers can place their orders online or in-app and pick it up directly from the locker by using a QR code or pin number when their order is ready.
SECURE STORAGE
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 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 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.
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.
