Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The "Touchless Modular Express Disinfection Cabinet" is a specially designed equipment for express pickup, which aims to provide users with an infection-free experience. It comes with an ultraviolet disinfection lamp that automatically disinfects incoming parcels. Users can open the cabinet door through an app without touching it. Furthermore, the disinfection cabinet can be customized according to the size of express stations, making it easy to assemble.
- Inspiration
- After the epidemic, people have become more conscious of the significance of disinfection. Taking delivery of express parcels is an essential part of people's routine, however, it is effortless to overlook the disinfection aspect of receiving parcels.

In addition, in order to prevent intelligent courier cabinets in the use of premature aging rust, surface treatment process using pickling phosphate treatment, the surface of the grease, rust to remove clean, but also in the surface of the high-temperature electrophoresis spraying process to improve anti-rust problem.
- Realization and Technology
- This product is made of steel plate material that is initially cut into various sizes using a shearing machine to cut rolled steel plates. Based on the position of different components, a specific punching machine mold is used to treat it. To prevent premature ageing and rusting during the use of intelligent courier cabinets, a surface treatment process is applied that uses phosphating treatment to eliminate grease and rust from the surface. After that, the surface undergoes high-temperature electrophoretic spraying to enhance its resistance to natural erosion. Additionally, the product features a UV disinfection function and can be remotely controlled via an app.
