THE CHALLENGE
The hospital faced significant challenges in managing employee lockers due to a lack of control over locker usage, cumbersome key administration, and limited available space. The need for an efficient, secure, and user-friendly locker system became apparent during the hospital's expansion.

The solution included space-saving lockers assigned permanently or temporarily based on work shifts, real-time occupancy monitoring, and a traffic light system indicating availability. Security was enhanced through an alarm system and seamless integration with the hospital's existing NFC employee badges, eliminating key-related issues and ensuring ease of use.
