en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Aragón Logistics Cluster Alia has launched the PuntoLocker pilot project, installing a modular smart locker system for product delivery and returns in last-mile logistics in rural areas, aiming to reduce operational costs, empty runs, and related transport emissions.

Alia is developing the solution in collaboration with a consortium comprising BTV (responsible for design, manufacturing, and digital development, IoT integration, and tracking software), ZZ Data Labs (identifying optimal locations using geospatial and sociodemographic analysis), and delivery company Dasa (making daily deliveries to these towns).

Additionally, Edtech Solutions (developing training content for users), Citet (focusing on coordination and dissemination of results), and the Zaragoza Logistics Center (evaluating the project's impact and scalability) are also involved.

Efficient delivery in Orihuela del Tremedal is the focus of the pilot project. Carried out under the framework of the Innovative Business Cluster Support Program, the pilot is implemented in Orihuela del Tremedal, Teruel, aiming to promote efficient delivery of goods and parcels, especially in environments with dispersed populations, low density, complex terrain, or poor communication conditions. A smart locker prototype was installed this Monday, and its operation was introduced to residents during an event attended by project representatives and Mayor Rafael Samper Miguel.

The locker is connected to logistics operator Dasa via software that collects data on usage, timing, and faults, monitoring operational feasibility and resident satisfaction, all thanks to an innovative model based on IoT technology, real-time connectivity, and 24/7 locker operation.

One of the project's unique aspects is the use of data intelligence and geospatial analysis to determine optimal installation locations. The project incorporates data science tools, predictive models, and a digital management platform to maximize service efficiency. Additionally, modularity and scalability allow the lockers to be adapted to the needs of each town.

The project provides solutions supporting economic activities and local businesses, offering citizens better services and improving their ability to shop online, pick up, and return items outside traditional hours.
