“…Another is to enable the delivery of shipments at a controlled temperature. Wróbel-Jędrzewska and Polak [79] propose the construction of a prototype device (food parcel locker) consisting of small cooling and freezing boxes ensuring temperature conditions (+5 • C or −18 • C) to enable grocery storage.…”

Recent global trends related to the increasing use of e-commerce are becoming a challenge for courier transport, especially in the last-mile process of delivering products to the final retail recipient. One delivery method is the personal collection of the parcel in an automated post box, available 24/7 for the customer. Our research method was based on a preliminary selection of the most important features of parcel lockers’ service quality, which were extracted based on the analysis of the scientific literature and previous research. This analysis was carried out by conducting a survey of Polish parcel locker users that provided data coded according to the dimensions of the Kano model. Based on the total satisfaction index, the results allowed us to conclude that a dedicated application (−0.96), proper placement of the parcel in the box (−0.82), adjusting the size of the parcel to the size of the box (−0.79), the location of parcel stations (−0.74), and ensuring improvements for the disabled (−0.62) are the most important features in the process of the automatic delivery of parcels to recipients in urban areas. This paper enriches the literature on the customer service quality of self-service technologies for last-mile delivery with the use of automated parcel lockers.

Recent global trends related to the increasing use of e-commerce are becoming a challenge for courier transport especially in the last-mile process of delivering products to the final retail recipient. One of the delivery methods is the personal collection of the parcel in an automated post box, available 24/7 for the customer. This research aims to define the most important attributes of the courier services quality, including the delivery of parcels through automated sending and receiving parcel lockers, leveraging advanced technologies, data, and connectivity to enhance the quality of life, sustainability, and efficiency for city residents. The research was based on a preliminary selection of the most important features of parcel lockers’ service quality, which were extracted from the analysis of scientific literature and previous research. The analysis was carried out by conducting a survey among city parcel locker users that provided data coded according to the dimensions of the Kano model. This allowed to conclude that the location of parcel stations, ensuring improvements for the disabled, adjusting the size of the parcel to the size of the box, proper placement of the parcel in the box and a properly functioning dedicated application are the most important features in the process of automatic delivery of parcels to recipients in urban areas. This paper enriches the literature on customer service quality of self-service technologies for last-mile delivery with the use of automated parcel lockers.

Most of the community while preservation of food using refrigeration machines and chemicals, which less attention to hygiene. The storage space made of wood, glass or plastic where are almost airtight except the refrigerators which have poor air circulation and it cause of cross-contamination and also triggers bacteria growth, virus and fungi that cause decay and also disease source. These problems encourage the researchers to make a hygienic food storage space by consider the air circulation which is given an air purifier natural ingredients combinations that absorb pollutants, heavy metals, and anti-microbials. The air purifier ingredients which expected are original bamboo charcoal active, and red ginger. To make the air purifier can work effectively, a certain balanced composition is needed. The research method used is an experimental method where food ingredients are stored in a space where the air circulation is coated with a particle layer of original bamboo charcoal activate and red ginger rhizome with different compositions. The material used are mixture of charcoal and ginger rhizome by making an air purifier derived from activated charcoal from ori bamboo waste at a certain percentage of charcoal maturity. After that the product will be tested in food storage space with tofu for the food sample. In this research, the composition combination of ori bamboo charcoal active with red ginger extract was 4:0, 3:1, 2:2, 1;3, 0:4 where the ori bamboo charcoal active was used with a maturity percentage of 50%, 75%, 100 %. From the results of the research, it was found that the samples stored without using the filter grew with microbes after the second day, the samples that were filtered with the composition of activated charcoal only grew microbes on the third day and there was a change in the shape of the filter, namely the aqueous filter. Samples with a composition of activated charcoal with varying maturity and ginger extract began to grow with microbes after the fourth day. The best filter results using 100% mature activated charcoal with a composition of activated charcoal and ginger extract, which is 2:2. Microbes that can still grow in that composition are Bacillus substilis but in small quantities and no viruses or other microbes are found.
