Game-changing intelligent locker system has applications for eCommerce, retail and campus environments.
Intelligent lockers are well established in Europe where they are used for convenient consumer parcel delivery and pickup. Due to rising consumer expectations and the dramatic increase in parcel volumes, they are now gaining attention from U.S. business in three primary applications: eCommerce retail for convenient same-day pickup and returns; brick-and-mortar retail for “click-and-collect” or “buy online, pick up in store” (BOPIS); and campus package delivery and returns. Cleveron sees the potential for 15,000 parcel terminals in North America in the next five years.
PackRobot is a dramatic advance in intelligent systems for consumer delivery and pickup of parcels and packages. Built upon experiences gained from producing a very successful line of first-generation smart lockers, Cleveron’s patent-pending innovation combines advanced Internet-of-Things technologies with modern consumer-friendly, space-efficient ergonomic design and aesthetics to bring the convenience of smart lockers to new environments.
Unlike traditional smart lockers that use a fixed number of pre-set locker sizes, PackRobot measures each parcel’s dimensions and uses a proprietary 3D lift system that dynamically configures a locker slot to optimally secure the parcel. The result: no wasted space and capacity for three times more parcels than conventional smart lockers, resulting in maximizing economic use of indoor or outdoor retail floor space.
PackRobot provides a number of unique benefits:
- Flexible deployment options – environmentally hardened design with internal climate control allows for use outdoors and indoors
- Efficient use of available space – dynamic storage system (patent pending) holds up to 500 variable-sized parcels in a footprint under 5m2
- Convenient operation – with a touch-free user interface, integrated smartphone app and the high-speed lift, consumers are able to retrieve a parcel in as little as 10 seconds
- High security and delivery integrity – every parcel is photographed, automatically weighed and measured to ensure the right package is securely delivered to the right recipient
