Delivery Process
Identity Verification and Selection: When the courier arrives at the smart locker, they select the "Delivery" option on the interface and scan the barcode on the parcel waybill. The system automatically recognizes the parcel information.

Smart Compartment Allocation: The courier places the parcel in the device's built-in weighing and volume measurement area. The system automatically assigns the most suitable empty compartment based on the parcel's size.

Secure Storage: The system automatically opens the locker door, allowing the courier to place the parcel inside and close the door. At this point, the system immediately sends a notification SMS to the recipient's registered phone number, including the pickup code and locker location.

Pickup Process
Identity Verification: When the recipient arrives at the smart locker, they select "Pickup" on the screen.

Unlocking and Collecting Parcel: By entering the received pickup code or scanning the QR code in the SMS on their phone, identity verification is completed. Once verified, the system opens the corresponding locker door, allowing the recipient to retrieve the parcel.

Core Technology Support
Internet of Things and Automation Control: The smart locker is made up of components such as a main control unit, lock control board, sensors (for weight, volume measurement, and door status monitoring), which enable precise door control and status monitoring through embedded technology.

Backend Data Processing: The smart locker is connected to a PC server, forming a terminal system. The server is responsible for unified management of all terminal information, parcel information, and user data, enabling real-time data updates and remote monitoring.

Security and Communication: The system uses electronic locks (such as electronic sliding bolts) to secure the locker doors and communicates with users via GSM SMS or network push notifications.
