Smart lockers stimulate effective cooperation and communication
SKF Group moved their headquarters in Gothenburg (Sweden) to a totally reconstructed industrial central warehouse in SKF’s production area, which is located approximately 100 meters from the old SKF group headquarters. The new headquarters of SKF, finished construction in the summer of 2020 and is now a dynamic and energy-efficient office building.
Space optimization
The new headquarters of SKF has been built with the latest working methods and needs of SKF in mind. It has been designed in such a way that it enables a more efficient way of working. Which also meant that the number of square meters needed was reduced.
Activity–based working methods
To make their new way of working successful, SKF Group decided to work with Vecos. Adaptive workplace storage stimulates the new activity–based working method SKF deploys in their new headquarters and allows them to coach SKF employees in using the office facilities dynamically
SKF uses adaptive workplace storage to cover all the locker needs of visitors and employees, such as the personal, shared and temporary lockers in the new headquarters. The lockers are managed on the Vecos SaaS platform in the cloud and are being controlled by the employees in a self-service way using the mobile phone application and personal access card. More than 1,600 users have access to the 1,000 lockers at this location.
