In recent years, smart lockers can be seen in many places, for example, entrance of community, office building, supermarket, shopping mall, etc. Therefor, the safety performance of the smart lockers is a matter of concern to everyone.
QR Code Reader is widely used by smart locker solution providers. Do you know the theory to unlock by QR Code? Let’s find out together!
Usually, there are three steps in total when we use smart locker:
Step 1: Storage of Your Items
Step 2: System Send A Unique QR Code to User’s Phone/Print A Unique Barcode
Step 3: Unlock by Scanning QR Code You Got or the Printed Barcode
The reason why barcode solution is widely used in smart locker is that the printed barcode or QR code sent to user’s phone is unique one, so that nobody can open the locker without scanning the same unique barcode or QR code. Another reason to use QR code reader is for users to make payment once the storage time expires. For example, the regular storage time for one user is 24 hours, which means if you take your items out within 24 hours, it’s completely free. However, if the time expires, you may have to pay extra money to unlock and get your items. At this moment, you can pay by Alipay, Wechat on your phone even if you don’t take any cash or coin.
