An intelligent automated system for receiving, storing, and dispensing packages and parcels in a secure manner is called a smart parcel locker. To guard against theft and unauthorized access, these lockers have strong security measures installed, which include use of PINs, QR codes, RFID cards, or smartphone apps. By allowing recipients to pick up their packages whenever it's convenient for them, there are fewer missed deliveries and fewer trips to post offices or courier depots. Delivery procedures that are optimized for couriers result in fewer attempts at redelivery. Many times, smart building or smart city initiatives include smart parcel lockers. For the purposes of monitoring delivery, controlling locker availability, and giving receivers real-time notifications, they might integrate with digital platforms.

Driving Factors- With their touchless pickup and drop-off features, Smart Parcel Lockers have become a popular option for customers and delivery staff alike, guaranteeing a more secure and hygienic delivery experience. Smart parcel locker companies are incorporating cutting-edge technologies to improve user experience and operational efficiency. In order to maximize locker usage, enhance security, and offer individualized services, these technologies include facial recognition, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities. Smart Parcel Locker businesses were growing their networks to reach a wider customer base as e-commerce kept growing. As part of this expansion, lockers were positioned in busy places like corporate campuses, metro stations, retail centers, and universities.

Challenges- Costs associated with ongoing maintenance might be high - To maintain functioning and security, this entails routine maintenance of hardware (such as locker mechanisms, touchscreens, and sensors) and software upgrades. Moreover, repairs and troubleshooting could call for certain technical knowledge, raising operating expenses. Absence of uniformity. There are no industry-wide standards for hardware, software interfaces, or operating procedures in the smart parcel locker business. Lockers from several suppliers may employ proprietary technologies or protocols, which makes it difficult to combine them into a seamless network. Standardization would make it simpler to scale and work with the current infrastructure, which would promote wider adoption among sectors and geographical areas.

Smart parcel locker deployment, manufacture, and maintenance were impacted by lockdown protocols and supply chain interruptions. While growing their locker networks, businesses encountered delays and practical difficulties. With the increased demand for home deliveries during the pandemic, businesses and residential complexes embraced smart parcel lockers more and more to handle deliveries safely and effectively. Enhancing locker technology was pushed, with the goal of improving user experience and operational efficiency. Some of these improvements included integrating with mobile apps for seamless operation and adding tracking and alerting systems. As businesses and consumers realize the advantages of these solutions for convenience, safety, and efficiency in parcel management, the pandemic has spurred the adoption of smart parcel lockers.
