Secure charging with controlled access for shared device fleets. RIFE Smart Charging Lockers combine individual compartments, electronic locking and active charging for laptops, tablets, smartphones, Chromebooks, scanners and other compatible mobile devices.
Configurations of 20, 24, 30 or 36 compartments are available. Each compartment can be assigned to a user, team or device, while optional management software can support user administration, locker assignment, access history and audit reporting.
Key Features
- Individual electronic access: digital PIN locking is standard in the listed configuration.
- Optional authentication: RFID card, QR code or mobile-application access can be considered.
- Charging in every compartment: select AC sockets, USB-C Power Delivery or a mixed charging arrangement.
- Multiple device formats: suitable for compatible phones, tablets, laptops and handheld workforce devices.
- Scalable deployment: individual cabinets can be combined for larger device fleets.
- Optional management software: centralise users, assignments, access records and usage reports.
Charging Options
USB-C Power Delivery configurations can be specified at 20W, 30W, 45W or up to 65W per compartment, depending on the selected system. Standard AC sockets can also be supplied for devices that must use their original charging adaptor. Final compatibility should be checked against the device model and power requirement.

Planning the Smart Charging Workflow
For a correct proposal, provide the device list, dimensions, charging wattage, number of users, access method, assignment rules, software reporting needs and installation location. RIFE can then recommend the capacity and system architecture.
Security, Access and Administration
Electronic access can be configured around the user journey, such as assigning a compartment, authenticating a user, recording access and managing administrator overrides. PIN access may be used as the base method, with RFID or application control included where the project requires it.
Electrical and USB-C Planning
USB-C is not a single universal wattage. Confirm each device's charging protocol, required power, connector and cable. For AC-powered compartments, confirm adaptor size, plug type and total simultaneous load before finalising the electrical design.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is a smart charging locker different from a standard charging cabinet?
A smart charging locker provides electronic access to individual compartments and can optionally record users, assignments and access activity. A standard charging cabinet may have only one shared outer door.
Can the locker charge both laptops and phones?
Yes, when the compartment dimensions and selected AC or USB-C power configuration match the devices.
Is software compulsory?
No. The locker can be supplied with electronic access only, or with optional central management software for larger deployments.
Which information is needed before selecting USB-C wattage?
Provide the make and model of every device and its required charging wattage. RIFE can then determine whether 20W, 30W, 45W or 65W charging is suitable.
