SECURE
The chassis of our SMART Hold reservations locker is built using heavy gauge steel, which is seam welded to add extra strength and durability to your unit – making SMART one of the most secure and robust laptop kiosk solutions on the market. For additional security, the kiosk is specifically designed to minimize any gaps between the doors of each SMART library locker bay, which are secured by heavy duty locks boasting a tensile strength exceeding 300kg – ensuring devices are only accessed by authorized users.
Simple to Allocate, Load and Pickup
Thanks to its fully cloud-based backend, it’s easy for library staff to remotely allocate SMART Hold pickup lockers with reserved items such as books via its client application. By simply scanning the item(s) using the associated software application, SMART Hold allocates an empty locker and prints a receipt with a unique barcode that indicates the item(s) and locker number. To load, a staff member just scans the barcode on the receipt that is relevant to the reserved item(s) which will automatically unlock the correct locker. This enables them to place the item(s) inside and then close the door. The user accesses their items by scanning their user card that prompts SMART Hold to list their items on the touch screen. The user then selects the ‘accept’ button that then opens the correct locker and the items are retrieved.
