Lockers and Dispensing Automats for Transit Operations
Material and access must be available where the work happens: at transit hubs, depots and workshops – around the clock and without a staffed counter. TIKI SHARE automates issue, return and access across distributed sites and documents every transaction.
Applications in Transit Operations
From spare parts in the depot to lockers at the hub
Lockers at transit hubs
Stations, depots and interchanges: handovers without a staffed counter, using RFID employee badges, PIN or booking link.
Spare parts supply in the depot
Consumables and spare parts are dispensed independently of shifts and documented per withdrawal – the workshop no longer waits for the stores counter.
Tool dispensing in workshop operations
Calibrated tools and measuring equipment with issue and return history per person, work order and vehicle.
Keys and PPE in shift operations
Vehicle and building keys as well as personal protective equipment around the clock – logged and released based on roles.
Operational Reliability Instead of Downtime Risk
In transit operations it is not the feature list that matters, but behaviour during faults. A unit that stops working without a cloud connection blocks the workshop – and with it vehicle availability.
Operation during network outages
Manual fallbacks allow dispensing even without a connection. Once connectivity is restored, the platform synchronises automatically.
Maintenance with response times
Maintenance contracts with defined response times per site. Manufacturing and spare-parts stock remain in Germany.
Rollout across distributed sites
Multi-tenant with cross-site roles and reporting – from a pilot site step by step across the network.
Framework Agreement Instead of One-Off Procurement
Transit operators procure through framework agreements and concessions and plan in multi-year operating periods rather than budget years. What counts is whether units remain upgradeable, whether spare parts stay available across the lifecycle, and whether further sites can be added without changing systems.
Development and manufacturing take place in Germany. Units are designed for the specific site – from compartment layout to outdoor suitability – and operated through a shared platform.
Proven in Operation: BVG Depots
Together with Alstom, BVG automates spare parts supply across three depots using smart parcel stations. The case study describes the starting point, setup and results in detail.

Plan a Pilot Site
We start with one depot, measure actual usage and only then scale across the network.
Arrange a callSee a live installation
Depending on your use case we can arrange a visit to a live installation at an existing customer site – provided a comparable site fits your request and the operator agrees.
