In a culture where everything from toasters to flip-flops have rebranded as ‘smart’ devices, it’s easy to forget how brilliant and effective some IoT and wireless developments have been. Contactless payment, streaming sticks, and pretty much everything to do with smartphones – these are technologies which have enhanced the lives of millions.
And now smart lockers are on the rise. For businesses, it’s about substantial cash savings and increased worker productivity. For everyone on the ground, smart lockers are easier to use and lead to a happier atmosphere. But how?
The logistical headache of hard-wired locks
When employee numbers reach the hundreds and beyond, strict organisation becomes paramount. One simple way to keep staff on the ball is to assign lockers for personal belongings, clothes, and whatever else they would otherwise leave lying around. Two common problems arise from this:
Hard-wired locker systems are also heavy and mechanical, which means they are prone to failure. Repairs require a costly technician, and all the while the productivity of your team is dropping.
Losing keys is seriously annoying for employers and staff alike. But what if you lose a low-cost, programmable piece of plastic? Within a few seconds at a terminal, security staff can:
It literally does take seconds, with hardly any training required for the security team. No replacements, no engineers, and extremely low downtime. Since smart lockers run on low-power electronics, the failure rate is extremely low. On those rare occasions, the locker can be easily opened remotely by security and the staff member’s card re-allocated to a new locker.
Smart lockers provide the added benefit of tracking and logging every one of their interactions. You can tell whether employees are spending extra-long lunch breaks hanging around their locker, or identify the exact time of any unusual activity. For larger companies, real-time insights can be gained which describe how your staff interacts with lockers throughout the day.
This information can then be used to drive strategic business decisions and get maximum efficiency from workers.
For staff things are a bit simpler. It’s not about money, resources, or hitting schedules. Most manual workers spend their days surrounded by others, and lack any kind of privacy or personal space – a locker gives them that.
More importantly, employees can wear their expensive headphones or watch tablets on the commute to work, without having to worry about them lying around all day. After building in smart lockers for our customers in the past, we’ve seen an improvement in the number of confrontations between staff, as well as improvements in how valued and appreciated employees feel.
