Overview
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), a renowned British multinational automobile manufacturer, is recognised for its luxury vehicles and sport utility vehicles. In a strategic move to enhance operational efficiency, JLR recently implemented the iLockerz ECO range of intelligent locker systems to securely store, recharge, vend, and manage a brand-new suite of 200 Honeywell CT45 devices (with pistol grip) at the Halewood Plant.
The introduction of these advanced locker units marks a significant step forward in JLR’s commitment to technological innovation and efficient resource management.
Solution
The solution came in the form of iLockerz’ ECO range of locker systems, equipped with advanced technology that seamlessly integrates with JLR’s existing infrastructure.
Staff members at the Halewood site can now easily access devices using their existing access control cards, with the iLockerz system automatically recognising users through active directory integration.
The lockers employ ‘Last-In, Last-Out’ technology to dispense the most charged and least used device, ensuring device rotation and power availability. Optimal charging is delivered automatically, as iLockerz chooses the best charging profile for each device’s specific needs, with charge data and real-time battery percentages viewable via the live viewer app. To ensure devices are returned correctly, the systems also utilise the ‘Item ID’ feature, which guarantees that users have the correct device when attempting a return.
Challenges
Prior to the implementation of the iLockerz system, JLR faced several challenges in managing their previous handheld devices, such as Honeywell scanners and hip-mounted printers. Key issues included inefficient device tracking, sub-optimal charging solutions, and the inability to ensure device availability and readiness for staff. These challenges not only affected operational efficiency but also hindered overall workforce productivity, highlighting the need for an integrated, intelligent system to address these issues during the rollout of new devices.

Results
Since the installation of eight iLockerz systems across the site, JLR has experienced remarkable improvements. The ‘LILO’ feature speeds up device issuance, ensuring that employees can quickly access fully charged and functional devices. This feature also allows for tracking each device’s usage and condition, promoting accountability among users.
Furthermore, the system’s ability to prevent multiple devices being issued to a single user and to ensure the return of the correct device has significantly enhanced asset management. This is complemented by the option for users to leave comments on the device’s condition, providing a consistent check on device functionality each shift.
JLR’s management has been thoroughly impressed with the efficiency and effectiveness of the iLockerz systems. The success at the Halewood site has sparked discussions about potential implementation at other locations, demonstrating the system’s scalability and adaptability to different operational environments.
In conclusion, the implementation of the iLockerz ECO locker systems at JLR’s Halewood site stands as a testament to the potential of intelligent technology solutions in streamlining operational processes and enhancing workforce efficiency. The success of this project has set a precedent for future technological integrations within JLR and potentially across the industry.
