For manufacturers

Parcel locker software for manufacturers

You build the cabinet. Lokkio supplies the locker program, the cloud and the security model, and adapts to your lock boards instead of the other way round.

One file describes the cabinet

The locker program does not know which maker built the cabinet. It reads cabinet.json: the board protocol, the board addresses and which door is wired to which channel.

01

Several boards per cabinet

List each board with its address and channel count. Door sizes S, M and L are set per door.

02

Strict validation

An unknown field, a skipped door number, one channel used twice or a missing board rejects the file at once.

03

Special doors

Returns bins and letterboxes with separate slot and emptying channels, refrigerated doors with a thermostat contact.

04

Sensors and outputs

Proximity, shock and temperature inputs, lighting, siren and wireless extension modules.

Lock board protocols

01

Modbus RTU: no code

Enter the coil and input addresses, pulse length and sensor polarity from your board documentation. Run -commission.

02

Your own protocol: one driver

A driver implements two functions, open a channel and read the sensors. Every byte is checked against your documentation and tested with our board simulator.

03

Serial or TCP

Boards connect over a COM port or a TCP serial gateway.

Installer checks built in

  1. 01

    -check

    Polls every board and opens nothing.

  2. 02

    -commission

    Opens each door in turn and checks that the sensor reads open, then closed. The report shows doors on the wrong channel and inverted sensors, for example 15/16 doors OK; failed: 7.

  3. 03

    Result in the log

    The result is written to the locker's event log and shown with every work order for that locker.

Runs on the locker PC you already use

Windows or Linux. On Windows an installer registers the locker with a one-time code from the admin console. The locker creates its own TLS key, which never leaves the device.

Tamper detection on existing boards

The bus guard works with the boards you ship today. We recommend one addition: a service panel switch on a free board input. It costs a few euros and lets the locker see when someone opens the panel to reach the wiring.

Parcel locker software for any cabinet

Peripherals the program supports

  • QR reader that acts as a keyboard
  • Label printer for returns, ZPL or ESC/POS
  • IP camera snapshots, Basic or Digest auth
  • GPS position from the modem's NMEA port
  • Modem power control for battery lockers
  • Bluetooth and NFC through a UART module bridge
  • Payment terminal interface with a simulator

On the roadmap

Drivers for specific payment terminal models, firmware for the BLE module, a tested NFC reader model, and storage of the locker TLS key in a TPM.

Help with your sales

A web configurator per operator builds a cabinet from modules, shows a quote and produces a cabinet.json draft. Your buyers can also try the full system in the live demo before a site visit.

Send us your board documentation

We will tell you whether your boards run on a config file or need a driver, and what a pilot cabinet involves.
