Smart Logistics and Amenities
One card across many scenarios — thoughtful, convenient campus logistics.
Smart logistics and amenities is a one-card and smart application system built around the living scenarios of employees and students. With over 10 years of experience in intelligent system integration, Sichuan DCH Technology (DCH) integrates capabilities such as one-card/campus card, smart canteens (weighing/reservation), smart parcel lockers, online repair reporting and dormitory management, delivering full-lifecycle services from solution design, equipment installation and commissioning to platform handover, so campuses, parks and communities enjoy "one card for everything, convenient services and efficient management."
1. Background and Value
Canteen queues, unordered parcels, phone-based repairs and manual dormitory management — traditional logistics services suffer from cumbersome processes, average experience and scattered data, failing to meet expectations for convenient services.
For park/campus logistics managers, smart logistics and amenities delivers the following value:
- One card for everything: Access, canteen, payment and repair on one card for a smooth experience;
- Convenient services: Smart canteens, smart parcel lockers and online repair reporting reduce running around;
- Efficient management: Unified dormitory, consumption and repair data;
- Data-driven operation: Consumption and logistics data support operational decisions and service improvement.
2. Overall Architecture: A Three-Layer Card–Application–Platform Logistics System
DCH breaks smart logistics into a "card–application–platform" three-layer architecture that ensures multi-scenario connectivity and emphasizes data closed loops:
| Layer | Components | Key Capabilities |
|---|---|---|
| Card layer | One-card/campus card, virtual card/QR code, consumption terminals | Unified identity, multi-scenario payment, permission management |
| Application layer | Smart canteens, smart parcel lockers, online repair, dormitory management | Weighing/reservation, self-service pickup, online work orders, residence management |
| Platform layer | Logistics service platform, data analysis | Unified management, data aggregation, operations analysis |
From card to application to platform, the system is planned and delivered as an integrated whole. Logistics managers view consumption, repair and dormitory data via the platform, turning scattered "applications" into a coordinated "logistics service network."
3. Core Systems and Key Points
3.1 One-Card / Campus Card
The one-card/campus card (including virtual card/QR code) serves as the unified identity carrier across access, canteen, consumption, repair and dormitory scenarios — personal information entered once, permissions managed uniformly.
3.2 Smart Canteens (Weighing/Reservation)
Smart canteens support pay-by-weight billing and online reservation: weighing buffet style lets diners take what they need and pay by gram, reducing waste; reserved meals are picked up and gone, cutting queues. Consumption data is collected in real time with clear accounting.
3.3 Smart Parcel Lockers
Smart parcel lockers are deployed across parks/campuses: parcels are deposited and recipients notified automatically; staff/students pick up via code or one-card 24 hours a day, solving the problems of disordered parcels and loss.
3.4 Online Repair Reporting and Dormitory Management
Online repair reporting supports photo upload, automatic dispatch, visible progress and evaluation closed loop. Dormitory management supports move-in registration, utility management, room checks and access control linkage for efficient residence management.
4. Typical Application Scenarios
- Parks/campuses: One-card connectivity across canteen, parcels, repair and access;
- Schools: Campus card plus smart canteens and dormitory management for student convenience;
- Hospitals: Employee one-card plus smart canteens and logistics repair;
- Communities: Access, parcel lockers and daily-life convenience applications.

8. FAQ
Q1: Can the one-card be used by swiping a card and by phone?
Yes. Physical cards, virtual cards/QR codes are all supported under one account — swipe or scan for consumption and passage.
Q2: Is pay-by-weight in smart canteens accurate?
Weighing terminals price by actual food weight in real time with live upload; billing is accurate, accounting is clear, and food waste is effectively reduced.
Q3: What if parcel locker capacity is insufficient?
Cabinet specifications are configured by foot traffic and parcel volume, with combinations of large/medium/small compartments and multiple units; capacity can expand flexibly in peak periods.
Q4: How quickly do online repairs respond?
Reports are automatically dispatched to the responsible team with real-time progress; timeouts auto-escalate, and the evaluation closed loop ensures service efficiency.
