IoT customer case: Finnish postal service Posti

Haltian helps Posti’s business to grow by upgrading its parcel lockers with a wireless two-way data transmission solution “Our cooperation with Haltian has borne fruit. We now have a fully functioning, automated parcel locker concept that can be expanded to the Baltics, as well”, says Jari Paasikivi, who works in the development of Posti’s parcel services and e-commerce business strategy. The Smartpost lockers, designed for picking up and sending parcels, were launched by Posti in 2017. The data transmission software used for the automated parcel locker concept needed upgrading. Haltian participated in the upgrade through a research project. With the help of Haltian, the upgraded Smartpost 1.5 software was created. “Posti’s previous parcel lockers used one-way IoT data transmission, which prevented remote updates to the locks. Software updates would have basically meant changing the locks, making the solution too expensive”, says Paasikivi. Haltian has helped to create Posti’s latest automated parcel locker concept. The technology solution focuses on IoT data transmission between the electronic lock and the cloud, in which the lock communicates with Posti’s back-end system via the cloud.
