ARKA celebrates the deployment of 1,256 autonomous lockers for Austrian Post network in the CEE region

Thu Mar 20 2025

A few days ago, we took a moment to celebrate the deployment of 1,256 lockers as part of our collaboration with Austrian Post. It was a moment of accomplishment and reflection that we shared with the entire ARKA team. This project marks the largest deployment of autonomous lockers in ARKA’s history, and successfully reaching this milestone is a testament to the dedication of our team. 

This partnership with Austrian Post is built on a shared vision of innovation and efficiency in last-mile logistics. Together, we set out to deploy a network of autonomous, energy-efficient lockers across Slovakia, Hungary and Bulgaria, bringing a new standard to parcel delivery in the region. The Blaze Locker was designed specifically for this project, featuring a keypad with an LCD display, a QR code scanner, LED lighting, a video surveillance system, and an alarm system - all while operating completely solar powered, With an unmatched 10-year battery lifespan, it ensures reliable, low-maintenance operation even in high-usage environments and harsh weather conditions.  

To celebrate this achievement, we took the time to thank everyone involved because, without our dedicated team, none of this would have been possible. From concept to completion, every locker starts as an idea and leaves our factory fully functional, brought to life by our assembly lines, robotic cells, and, most importantly, the people behind them. 

Our CEO, Mr. Lucian Ulmanu, and COO, Mr. Eng. Emil Suranyi, shared messages of appreciation, recognizing the hard work and commitment that made this project a reality. Their words also looked to the future, encouraging the team as we take on new projects and continue to innovate. 

A special thank you to Austrian Post for trusting us with this project. We look forward to what’s next and to continuing to shape the future of last-mile delivery!
