Click here to find out more about how 24/7 self-service delivery lockers work.

Manual package management takes up a lot of time and resources that many facilities don’t have. This is especially difficult for apartments, condos, and other residential areas where residents can only pick up their packages when someone is in the office, which may not be feasible with their schedules. With self-service lockers, packages are dropped off by using a touchscreen and placing the package in a specified locker. The recipient is then notified of the delivery, and when they can retrieve the item, they use the touchscreen interface to enter a passcode or swipe an RFID card. Their packages can be retrieved at any time, whether it’s day or night, and landlords don’t need to spend extra time managing packages and deliveries.

Designing Lockers in BIM Revit Software

Designing Lockers in BIM Revit Software

24 7 self service package lockers 0122Building Information Modeling (BIM) is being used by an increasing number of architects, designers, planners, and project managers. Why? It allows you to quickly and easily design three-dimensional models to your exact specifications and makes planning and modifications accurate, easy, and affordable. In this case, it allows you to design the true dimensions of a locker while also still utilizing keyless locks for the locker.
