University Pick-Up Lockers
Effortless campus experiences for all students. Smart campus lockers can help you streamline the movement of goods across your university ecosystem, including food delivery, library rentals, and more.
Ensure your students and faculty members have seamless experiences throughout your campus.
If you want individuals on your campus to have secure access to important items while still providing them with user-friendly experiences, consider setting up an exchange of goods locker banks where they can pick up equipment, food, and other essentials at their own convenience.
Exchange of Goods Lockers Across Campus
User-Friendly Smart Lockers
With the use of their phone or student ID credentials, contactless smart campus lockers can give students the convenient experience they’ve come to expect — a touch-less experience that streamlines the overall transaction of goods.
This implies that students can pick up their purchases or materials on loan whenever it’s convenient for them without having to wait in line. It’s a time-saving, money-saving, and data-gathering tool, which helps the university better understand which lockers are being used and how frequently. A win-win situation is achieved, and everyone’s safety and user-friendly experience is ensured at the same time.
Food & Dining
Many universities are partnering with food trucks and food ordering companies in addition to the traditional campus cafeteria, allowing students to order and pay for their meals using their student accounts and have them delivered to smart campus lockers.
Delivery drivers or food trucks can easily transfer food by using a contactless system. No more waiting around or tracking your food delivery.
Library Exchange of Goods
A contactless exchange of materials between students and faculty in university lockers located in the library will provide a simplified, efficient, and frictionless experience. In order for students to return and pick up their things at any time of the day, lockers should be strategically placed in areas that are easily accessible.
Here’s the breakdown: Using the library’s online catalog, a student chooses the books they want to check out. For example, a librarian receives a “request,” finds the items to be delivered, and makes an “order” for a student before depositing the items in a locker.
When the materials are ready for pick up, students are notified either by email or text. To open a locker, a student must display their ID card, phone, or watch to the reader. Close the door, and the transaction is over…
Campus Mobile Credentials
A smart campus locker solution from Metra Locking Systems, an HIDTM Advantage Technology Partner, makes it simple for students and teachers to use their University IDs to unlock their smart lockers. Using their smartphone or wearable device (smart watch) they have complete access to all items needed to be picked up in the lockers. Universities that use HIDTM access control systems, can easily extend their access security level to all campus lockers. With HID Mobile Access®, doors are opened in entirely new ways. Just rotate your mobile device when approaching a locker and you’ll have immediate access.
