Abstract: A system and method for managing the delivery of goods ordered by a customer from a provider thereof to at least one Smart Locked Storage Container (SLSC), each SLSC associated with the customer utilizing: a customer server for ordering and managing the goods to be delivered to the at least one SLSC; a delivery server for managing deliveries of the goods to the at least one SLSC by a delivery agent; a smart communicator for enabling communications between the provider of goods, the delivery server, a signaler and/or the customer server; a controller for controlling the communications; a signaler communicatively connected to the SLSC for transmitting a signal to the SLSC allowing access thereinto by the delivery agent, the customer, and/or an agent of the customer, and at least one of: an element from a list of particular elements.

Abstract: A method of monitoring, via a temperature sensor, a temperature of a container that stores an item. There is a first step of periodically measuring the temperature of the interior compartment of the container, and the first step occurs while the container is stationary. Subsequently, there is a second step of periodically measuring the temperature of the interior compartment of a container, and the second step occurs while the container is being transported by a vehicle to a destination. Subsequently, there is a third step of periodically measuring the temperature of the interior compartment, and the third step occurs after the container has been delivered to the destination and while the container is stationary. In addition the method includes periodically transmitting information comprising the measured temperatures from the first, second, and third steps to a server, and storing the measured temperatures.

Abstract: A system include a server configured to: receive a request from a computing device to unlock a delivery box; determine whether the request is authenticated; and send an unlock signal to the delivery box in response to the request being authenticated, such that when the unlock signal is sent to the delivery box, the delivery box is remotely unlocked in response thereto. The delivery box may include a container comprising an interior configured to hold an item; an access door configured to close the container; a system configured to be activated to disinfect/sanitize the interior. The controller is connected to a network and a user is configured to control the controller over the network.

Abstract: An improved method for the delivery of an ordered item to a locked storage containers comprising determining the availability of the container to receive a delivery; identifying a time interval during which the delivery can be made; sending a signal to the storage container allowing access by a delivery agent, the improvement wherein delivery is achieved with a robotic positioner and a driverless vehicle.

The delivery box may include a container comprising an interior configured to hold an item; an access door configured to close the container; a UV LED configured to be activated to disinfect the interior when the access door is closed relative to the container; and a controller that controls the UV LED. The controller is connected to a network and a user is configured to control the controller over the network.
