WIB smart lockers, when needed, can manage and monitor the temperature inside each compartment, delivering multiple benefits.
A WIB smart locker can be designed to maintain specific temperatures inside its compartments:
- Room temperature
- Refrigerated (between 2°C and 8°C)
- Frozen (down to -18°C)
- Heated (up to 47°C)
Thanks to specific design features, it is also possible to manage multiple temperatures within the same smart locker in an especially efficient way, further increasing the versatility of WIB Smart Lockers.
Smart Lockers for Multiple Use Cases
WIB smart lockers cater to a range of use cases. Smart lockers with room, refrigerated, and frozen compartments (down to -18°C) are ideal for click-and-collect grocery services offered by major retail chains, such as supermarkets and hypermarkets.
Lockers that maintain temperatures up to 47°C are perfect for food service applications, such as smart canteens, which are increasingly common in corporate cafeterias and beyond.
Features and Benefits
Key features of WIB refrigerated and multi-temperature smart lockers include:
- Individual temperature configuration for each column
- Cold chain tracking: constant temperature monitoring and reporting ensure the cold chain is maintained, particularly where required by law or critical to product safety
- Alerts for abnormal temperature variations: the WIB software promptly notifies staff if temperatures deviate from expected values
- Highly efficient thermal management: with advanced technical choices such as optimized thermal insulation, energy consumption is kept to a minimum
WIB Food Lockers for Smart Canteens and Food Delivery
WIB multi-temperature smart lockers enable the creation of food lockers for smart canteens and food delivery services that comply with HACCP standards. The certified temperature tracking also makes it possible to prove compliance with strict cold chain regulations, crucial in managing fresh and frozen food.
WIB Refrigerated Lockers for Pharmaceuticals and Temperature-Sensitive Products
The optimal, traceable management of storage temperatures for pharmaceuticals and thermolabile products is critical in many sectors.
With WIB software, it is possible to monitor and retrieve the temperature history of each compartment at any time, and receive instant alerts in case of anomalies—allowing for timely corrective action whenever possible.
WIB Refrigerated Smart Lockers: Enabling Local Zero-Kilometer Distribution
Growing attention to well-being and sustainability is encouraging the rise of zero-kilometer (locally sourced) food initiatives, which connect local producers directly with a wider consumer base.
WIB refrigerated smart lockers make these offerings even more sustainable by allowing fresh products to be stored and distributed via strategically placed lockers, enabling easy and autonomous access for consumers—even 24/7.
For example, in tourist destinations, WIB refrigerated lockers can be installed in high-traffic, accessible areas (e.g., near hotels), stocked with local products that visitors can conveniently pick up—for consumption during their stay, on the go, or on their way home from vacation.
