ASSIGNED 1:1 DEVICES

Give students quick access to the device they need for class.

Schools running 1:1 device programs assign one bay per student. Students tap a student card or enter a PIN, collect their device, and head to first period. Devices can charge securely between uses, ready for the next student or staff member. Every access event is logged.

SHARED DEVICE POOLS

Self-serve loaning for shared device sets.

Year-group laptop banks, library iPads, and STEM Chromebook pools work as shared sets. Any authenticated student can collect a charged device, return it after class, and the next student can access one when they need it. The locker tracks who has each device and when.

BYOD DAY STORAGE

Secure storage for personal student laptops.

BYOD students need somewhere safe to leave a laptop during Phys Ed, recess, lunch, or classes where devices aren't needed. A FUYL locker bay opens with the student's existing card, charges over USB-C while the device sits inside, and stays locked to other users.

KEEP TRACK OF EVERY DEVICE

One system to keep track of checking in and out of every learning device.

With so many learning devices in use across the school, managing check-in and check-out can quickly become a challenge. Track device checkouts and returns in one place, so staff can see what's been borrowed, what's been returned, and what's ready for the next lesson.

BROKEN DEVICE SWAPS

Maximise device uptime in every classroom.

When a student's device fails, every minute spent finding a replacement cuts into learning time. A replacement device can be checked out from the locker quickly. The broken device goes back into the same locker for IT to collect at the end of the day.

FAQ

What is a smart locker for schools? +

A smart locker is a steel cabinet of individual bays, each with its own electronically controlled door, used to store and charge student devices. Students open a bay with an ID card or PIN, collect a charged device, and return it later. Every open and close is logged.

How are smart lockers different from charging trolleys? +

Charging trolleys are mobile and shared. A teacher wheels the trolley between rooms and hands devices out manually. Smart lockers are fixed, self-service systems with individual bays. Many schools use both: trolleys for shared sets that move from room to room, and lockers for self-service access and device swaps.

Can smart lockers charge iPads, Chromebooks and laptops in the same locker? +

Yes. The FUYL Tower Pro fits most devices up to 17 inches, and the FUYL 8 and FUYL 23 fit most devices up to 14 inches. Every bay has USB-C charging, so a single locker can hold a mix of iPads, Chromebooks, and laptops.

Do smart lockers work with our existing student ID cards? +

Most likely yes. PC Locs lockers support common card formats used in Australian schools, including HID, MIFARE and iClass. We confirm the card format during the quote.

Are PC Locs lockers approved on state Department of Education and Catholic Education purchasing channels? +

PC Locs sells into NSW, VIC, QLD, WA and SA schools through state Department of Education ICT panels, Catholic Education procurement, and direct quotes for independent schools. Ask for the panel reference relevant to your state when you request a quote.

What happens if a student forgets their card? +

Front office or IT staff can issue a one-time override from the admin software. Every override is logged.
