The uncomplicated way to your own Smart Locker solution
Turn any locker into a smart locker system.
Locker systems are finding their way into more and more areas, as a click & collect station for parcel reception, for storing luggage or as an employee locker - the areas of application are wide-ranging and can be found in many sectors.
Benefit from our processes and components.Â
The integration of Variocube hardware and software in locker systems of metal construction companies, office furniture suppliers or carpentry companies gives you the opportunity to include smart solutions in your product portfolio without additional development effort. Depending on the depth of integration, each component can be used individually or as a complete package consisting of: VC Core Cloud, apps, IPC unit, screens and locks.
The software is supplied by Variocube and is turnkey ready, or meets the requirements defined with you and the processes adapted accordingly.
Build the furniture of the future - functional and smart with software integration, locking hardware and operating and control components from Variocube.

Together with our customers, we design and plan a possible integration and implementation. For both hardware and software, we offer easy-to-use solutions for integrators.
The Integrator Kit offers modular integration according to need
The Variocube integrator kit provides furniture and metal construction companies with the right solution for configuring their own smart locker system. Depending on the customer's requirements, it is possible to select from the available components in order to obtain a cost-optimised variant. The plug & play capability of most components ensures easy installation.
You either benefit from our cloud services, the applications or use reliable hardware components such as controllers, locks, IPC up to the touch screen. In addition, other accessories such as payment terminals, NFC readers and bar or OR code scanners can also be used.

How the individual components of the Integrator Kit work together
A SMARTER Locker is more than just the sum of its parts. The challenge today is to be able to map different logistics processes in the most diverse areas of application while keeping the costs in check.
A smart locker is a mechatronic device that demands all professions in these areas from the locker system (metal/wood) to the electronics to the software in the locker and in the cloud as well as the integration via APIs into the operational IT systems of the customers from the locker manufacturer. Only through a skilful interaction of these components can a customised and stable solution be achieved for the customers.
