A Prototype of Smart Lock based on Internet of Things for Logistics Safety

摘要

Because of the dramatic development of the B2C e-commerces, the logistics safety has become more and more important. In this paper, we tried to propose a prototype of smart lock to ensure the safety in the shipping process. The prototype of smart lock is based on the IOT technology. The smart lock is set for the only specific customer's smart phone to unlock it. And the unlocked times is recorded and shown to the customer. This prototype is implemented via the ESP8266 MCU with the NFC function. The smart lock is supported by the MQTT server on the cloud.
