From Textbooks to Laptops: Smart Lockers Save the Day for Universities
As technology continues to evolve, so does the way we interact with everyday things. Smart lockers are quickly becoming a popular solution for many use cases around university campuses, including IT exchange, library holds, bag and personal item storage, package management for campus housing, 24/7 BOPIS pick up at the student bookstore, and peer-to-peer exchange for students and staff. With Luxer One smart lockers, these use cases can be solved easily and efficiently.

IT Exchange

University campuses often have an IT department responsible for maintaining the school’s technological infrastructure. With smart lockers, IT departments can easily exchange broken or malfunctioning equipment for new ones. The lockers can also be used for students to pick up and return rented laptops, tablets, and other devices.

Luxer One smart lockers allow for a secure and efficient exchange of IT equipment, reducing the amount of time and effort needed for traditional exchange methods.

Library Holds

Many students use the university library to study and complete coursework. The library typically allows students to place holds on books and other materials, but sometimes it can take a while for these materials to become available.

Smart lockers can help speed up the process by allowing students to pick up their holds anytime. This not only improves the user experience for students but also helps free up library space.

Bag and Personal Item Storage

University students are always on the move, and often need a place to store their bags and other personal items. Smart lockers provide secure and convenient storage for these items.

Students can use the lockers to store their bags and other personal items during classes, at the gym, or when running errands. Luxer One lockers have multiple sizes, including larger lockers for storing items such as luggage.

Package Management for Campus Housing

With the rise of online shopping, package management can become a significant issue for campus housing. Smart lockers provide a secure and convenient way for students to receive their packages.

Luxer One lockers have 24/7 accessibility, meaning students can pick up their packages anytime. This helps to reduce the burden on front desk staff and improves the overall package management system for campus housing.

24/7 BOPIS Pick Up at Student Book Store

Many students order textbooks and other supplies online, and often need to pick up these items in-store.

Smart lockers can be used to provide a 24/7 BOPIS (buy online, pick up in-store) pick-up service for students. This eliminates the need for students to wait in long lines at the bookstore and provides a more efficient way to retrieve their purchases. This change is extremely beneficial during the peak store periods at the start of the semester, when lines can become exorbitantly long.

Peer-to-Peer Exchange for Students and Staff

Luxer One smart lockers can be used for peer-to-peer exchange for students and staff. For example, a student who no longer needs a textbook can use a smart locker to leave the textbook for another student to pick up. This provides a convenient and efficient way for students to exchange goods without meeting in person.
