An automated self-service reservations kiosk which extends the reach, capability and service provision of your library, SMART Hold combines steel with advanced software to deliver the next generation of library pickup lockers. An intelligent, stylish and, above all, secure self-service locker solution, SMART Hold lockers provide the ideal solution for lending books and other library media outside of your library’s opening hours, and even outside of your library!
The SMART locker system for your library
A fully integrated smart storage, collection and drop-off solution, SMART Hold can be positioned in either internal or external conditions – thanks to its weather-resistant and robust heavy gauge steel chassis – to give your patrons 24/7 access to their library via a secure self-service collection point. Plus, thanks to the very latest in access technology, you can be confident that patrons will only ever be able to gain access to lockers containing their reserved items.
How could a SMART library pickup locker solution benefit your patrons?
Our SMART Hold library pickup lockers are 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 minimise any gaps between the doors of each locker bay, which are secured by heavy duty locks boasting a tensile strength exceeding 300kg – ensuring devices are only accessed by authorised 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.
Our SMART Hold library pickup lockers offer an
EXTERNAL SOLUTION
