<br/><br/> In an era where the digital world transforms how people interact with everyday services,<br/>conventional locker systems often fall short regarding accessibility, security, and<br/>efficiency. Currently, the Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) - Manila<br/>students do not have access to lockers, making it challenging to safely store their<br/>belongings during classes and campus events without adding to the clutter in limited<br/>storage areas. This study developed and implemented LockQ: Smart Locker System<br/>using Raspberry Pi at the Technological University of the Philippines - Manila to<br/>enhance campus safety, reduce physical clutter, and ease the burden on students carrying<br/>large items. LockQ consists of four locker compartments—three allocated for user<br/>storage and one for administrative use. It integrates a biometric fingerprint scanner to<br/>ensure quick access and free from unwanted access, as well as a coin-based payment<br/>system for convenient usage. The system also eliminates the need for traditional keys by<br/>utilizing a solenoid valve mechanism for automated locking and unlocking based on<br/>fingerprint authentication. Additionally, LockQ features a web-based application with<br/>separate user and admin accounts for real-time tracking and locker management usage.<br/>Throughout the project development, the researchers followed the Waterfall<br/>methodology. During the testing phase, various evaluations focused on functionality. The<br/>project was then evaluated by IT professionals and TUP - Manila students using the TUP<br/>Evaluation Instrument for Prototype Developed. The results showed that LockQ is<br/>functional, aesthetic, and safe, obtaining a grand weighted mean of 3.71, or a “Highly<br/>Acceptable” adjectival rating, from the respondents of the survey questionnaire. LockQ<br/>was designed to automate locker access for organizations and students at TUP - Manila<br/>for a safer, more efficient, and more user-friendly solution.
