Lost Devices, Long Lines, and Liability: How Smart Lockers Solve Campus Operations Problems

Campus operations teams face the same challenges daily: shared devices that go missing between shifts, manual checkouts that slow down staff and students, and no visibility into where equipment actually is.

This session explores how smart locker systems tackle these challenges directly. We'll cover how institutions are using credential-based lockers to:

• Secure and track shared devices like Chromebooks and tablets
• Enable self-service pickup and return for course materials and equipment
• Provide after-hours access without staff involvement
• Eliminate manual hand-offs that create gaps in accountability

Attendees will leave with a clear picture of where smart lockers fit into campus operations and concrete next steps for evaluating them at their institution.
