Overview
Aikalocker service lockers streamline drop-off and pick-up processes for laboratories, pharmacies, home care and medical-device distribution. Finnish-developed backend enables secure integration with existing healthcare IT systems and supports indoor and outdoor installations.

Key benefits

• Extends service hours and enables 24/7 pickups
• Secure handling that protects patient privacy
• User-friendly interfaces for customers and healthcare professionals

Laboratories
Aikalocker reduces queueing and administrative handling in clinical and diagnostic labs. Staff receive notifications when a sample is deposited and can collect items on demand, improving workflow and traceability.

• Time savings in laboratories: up to ~35 hours/month
• Time savings in home care logistics: approximately ~25 hours/month

Durability and safety
The locker is built for durable daily use and provides secure storage with options to maintain required conditions for sensitive samples when necessary.

Medical supplies
Aikalocker supports distribution of medical supplies such as CPAP devices, hearing aids, contraceptives and other assistive devices. Staff can pre-fill compartments for scheduled pickups, reducing manual handovers and waiting times.

Pharmacies
Designed in collaboration with pharmacies, Aikalocker enables hygienic, contactless pickups and extends pharmacy service hours. Integrated QR-code reader simplifies filling and retrieval workflows and reduces manual input.

How Aikalocker works
Customers or staff deposit or retrieve items at any time. The system notifies the responsible unit within the organisation so items are collected exactly when needed, supporting controlled and documented handling.
