Smart Lockers

From simple luggage storage to smart logistics hub: Variocube demonstrates with Revolution Pi how modern locker systems meet the growing demands of e-commerce.

Challenge

The e-commerce boom places new demands on locker systems: they need to do much more than just securely store valuables. The goal was to find a smart solution that combines parcel logistics, easy operation, and flexible administration. 

The key technical challenge: The system must function reliably even without a permanent internet connection while seamlessly integrating various hardware components such as touch screens, barcode scanners, and payment terminals.

Variocube GmbH from Austria develops innovative digitalized cabinet systems, ranging from parcel logistics and Click & Collect to SAP-integrated logistics solutions.

Solution

Variocube developed an intelligent locker system with Revolution Pi as the control center. The solution combines intuitive operation via touch screen, web, or app with comprehensive management functions. A particularly clever feature: A local database system ensures full functionality even in offline operation.

Implementation

The RevPi Core serves as the central controller and data hub. It controls all hardware components such as locking systems, barcode readers, and payment terminals. All data is stored locally and synchronized in real-time with the Variocube Cloud (VC core) – guaranteeing uninterrupted operation even during connectivity issues.

Technologies Used:

  • RevPi Core as central control unit
  • Local database system
  • Touch screen interface
  • Web and app connectivity

Results & Outlook

Variocube's intelligent locker solution transforms traditional parcel logistics into a modern service experience. Operators benefit from flexible administration and easy integration into existing systems, while users appreciate the intuitive operation across various interfaces. Thanks to its modular design and future-proof architecture, the system can be continuously expanded – whether with new payment systems, additional service functions, or direct integration with enterprise software.
