At the beginning of March 2018, Swiss Post put its 100th My Post 24 terminal into operation in Berne-Bümpliz. With 172 boxes it is the largest parcel locker in Switzerland to date. More than 11,000 households from the area can now receive, send, and return parcels and registered mail around-the-clock. In addition to traditional postal transactions, other services such as a locker function are available at the popular My Post 24 terminals.
Already in 2019, Directive (EU) 2019/882 on accessibility requirements for products and services, better known as the "European Accessibility Act (EAA)", has been adopted. While the directive has different names in different EU member states, the challenges are the same for all states: Many questions have arisen with it. Because how exactly accessibility is to be implemented is not described in the regulation. The manufacturers of self-service machines are obliged to deal with the EAA regulation and to develop products that meet the requirements.
Robert Zehetner, Vice President Logistics Automation at KEBA, spoke to MER Magazine about the importance of flexibility of a parcel locker network and our new locker management platform. These are the most important key take-aways from the interview.
