Pohang City Installs Contactless 'Unmanned Parcel System' at Government Building Entrance

Part of COVID-19 Prevention Measures... Planned Opening for Delivery Receipt-Vulnerable Residents

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Pohang City, Gyeongsangbuk-do, announced on the 10th that it recently installed unmanned parcel lockers at the first-floor entrance of the city hall as part of COVID-19 prevention measures.

The installation of unmanned parcel lockers is expected by Pohang City to have triple benefits: preventing COVID-19, reducing delivery workers' fatigue, and improving city hall security issues.

By introducing unmanned parcel lockers, it has become possible to manage the city hall safely from infectious diseases and improve security by restricting unnecessary access by outsiders. When a delivery worker stores an item, they provide the customer with a one-time password and the locker number, allowing safe use without concerns of loss.

A Pohang City official stated, "We expect the unmanned parcel lockers to contribute to security and safe management of the city hall," adding, "In the future, the lockers will also be opened to the general public, especially single-person households living in one-room apartments, which are vulnerable areas for parcel receipt."

Meanwhile, since February 21, Pohang City has only opened the main entrances on the first floor and basement level 1, prohibiting the use of other entrances. On the second floor of the city hall, a civil service consultation office equipped with transparent partitions is installed and operating.
