In May 2025, Luoyang Minno Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Minno") successfully delivered 1,000 smart lockers specifically for schools to several middle schools and universities in Japan. This series of products is tailored for Japanese school settings and has been put into use in schools in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and other places, receiving unanimous praise from schools and students.
Key Features and Technical Highlights of the Product
Minno's smart lockers for schools feature a one-piece all-steel body and support multiple opening methods, including mainstream Japanese IC cards such as Suica/Pasmo, QR codes, facial recognition, and student ID cards. Available in small, medium, and large sizes, they can easily accommodate backpacks, musical instruments, sports equipment, and even large luggage. The lockers are equipped with UV sterilization lamps and intelligent temperature and humidity monitoring. Each locker can be used for up to 72 hours, with automatic notifications sent to the school management system and students' mobile phones upon exceeding the time limit.
Company representative's evaluation
A representative from Minno stated, "Japanese students need to carry a large number of textbooks and extracurricular supplies every day, and traditional metal lockers can no longer meet the needs of modern campuses. Our smart locker can not only significantly improve the efficiency of item management, but also seamlessly integrate with the school's existing digital system, truly solving the practical pain points of 'heavy backpacks and difficult item management' for teachers and students."
Real feedback from Japanese schools and students
The academic director of a well-known private high school in Tokyo commented, "Since introducing the Minno smart lockers, students no longer have to carry heavy backpacks around the school building. Just storing their bags before morning reading makes the classrooms instantly tidy and quiet, and the tardiness rate has decreased by 30%." A senior high school student said, "After school, I no longer have to lug my racket and backpack around to play tennis. Just swipe my Suica card—it's so convenient!"
Market Prospects
With the continued advancement of Japan's "GIGA School" program, the overall demand for smart lockers in Japanese primary and secondary schools is expected to exceed 150,000 units between 2026 and 2028. Minno's delivery of this batch of thousands of units marks the official large-scale entry of smart lockers manufactured in Luoyang into the Japanese education market, and they are expected to become standard equipment in Japanese schools in the future.
