Use Case: Cummins’ Journey in Smart Lockers

Industry: Manufacturing

Company: Cummins, a global leader in diesel engine manufacturing

Challenge: Limited space for traditional technology access in warehouse environments

Solution: LapSafe® Diplomat™ Pro Smart Lockers for automated device deployment

Customer Profile

Cummins, a global manufacturer of diesel engines, operates across over 9,000 locations worldwide. With a strong focus on driving the transition to a clean economy, Cummins employees are constantly working to build and innovate the future of diesel technology. However, like many manufacturing companies, Cummins faces unique challenges in providing efficient access to technology for its warehouse workers.

The Challenge

In large-scale manufacturing sites and warehouses, space is often prioritised for production and logistics. This leaves little room for traditional desktop setups that are typically used for administrative tasks. As a result, Cummins employees found it difficult to access computers and other devices, which impacted their ability to carry out their jobs efficiently. The lack of space for permanent PCs meant they needed a more flexible solution that would provide technology access without sacrificing valuable floor space.

The Solution

To overcome this challenge, Cummins partnered with LapSafe® to implement a more streamlined approach to device access. By deploying the Diplomat™ Pro Smart Locker, Cummins enabled their staff to borrow devices like laptops and Chromebooks with ease—without the need for manual staff intervention.

This automated device deployment solution allows employees to quickly access the technology they need for hot-desking and administrative tasks, even in space-constrained environments. LapSafe® smart lockers are designed to maximise space efficiency, making them an ideal solution for Cummins’ manufacturing warehouses, where space is a premium and dedicated to operations.

Benefits

• Space-saving: LapSafe® smart lockers require minimal space, fitting seamlessly into Cummins’ warehouses without impacting manufacturing processes.
• Increased efficiency: Automated device deployment allows staff to quickly borrow and return devices, improving productivity and reducing downtime.
• Convenience: Employees have access to laptops or Chromebooks as needed, enabling flexible working and hot-desking in various locations.
• No staff intervention required: Devices can be borrowed and returned automatically, saving time and resources.
• Energy Saving: LapSafe®’s Smart Lockers are fitted with their own unique SmartLine™ power management system. The highly intelligent SmartLine™ charging system incorporates PowaSave™ as standard. When devices are fully charged, PowaSave™ automatically turns off its power supplies. Charging is automatically reinstated when required by the devices. This feature offers huge cost savings in a short space of time through saved electricity.

By partnering with LapSafe®, Cummins has transformed how their employees access technology, providing a seamless and space-efficient solution that supports their operations in a global manufacturing setting.
