LocknCharge Launches Next-Generation FUYL Smart Lockers to Solve Device Chaos at Scale
[Madison, WI, June 30, 2025] — LocknCharge, a global leader in smart device management, announces the launch of FUYL 23 — its most advanced smart lockers to date.
Built to address the mounting demands of device-intensive environments, FUYL 23 empowers schools, universities, and workplaces to manage technology efficiently — without increasing IT staff or floor space.
“We set out to solve a real and growing problem for IT teams — how to scale device access without scaling people or square footage,” said Ellie Friesen, Head of Product Research and Development at LocknCharge. “The FUYL 23 is more than a locker. It’s an intuitive self-serve system that brings order to the everyday chaos of managing devices.”
For smaller-scale needs, LocknCharge also introduces the FUYL 8 — offering the same smart features and performance in a more compact form factor.
Device chaos is real
Device chaos is more than an inconvenience — it’s a daily drain on time, resources, and focus.
According to insights from LocknCharge customers, IT teams often manage 50+ broken or missing devices each week, spending up to four hours a day resolving routine tech issues. With nearly half of U.S. school districts overseeing more than 7,500 devices, the scale of the challenge is only accelerating.
FUYL 23 is LocknCharge’s answer: a compact, high-capacity locker system powered by Enhanced, the only smart locker software designed to automate real-world IT workflows like charging, repairs, loaning, and deployments.
FUYL 23 hardware: Built for daily IT demands. Made to last.
The FUYL 23 delivers maximum capacity in LocknCharge’s most space-efficient footprint to date — ideal for schools, campuses, and workplaces where space is limited and device uptime is critical:
- High capacity, compact build: FUYL 23 holds 23 lockable bays in a frame ~30% narrower than previous models.
- Built-in USB-C charging: Each bay includes a pre-wired 36W USB-C PD cable for fast, secure, maintenance-free power.
- Self-service Kiosk: FUYL 23 is the first tower purposefully designed with the FUYL Kiosk iOS app, allowing users to check out, return, or drop off devices on their own.
- Smart light indicators: Color-coded LEDs display bay status at a glance.
- User-ready design: Elevated, low-friction shelves improve access for all users, while an angled top discourages stacking or clutter.
Enhanced software: Built for real-life IT workflows
FUYL 23 runs exclusively on LocknCharge’s Enhanced Smart Locker System — a fully self-serve platform for users, with full visibility and control for IT teams via the cloud-based FUYL Portal.
Enhanced automates the four most common IT workflows:
- Charging: Users authenticate at the locker to access a secure bay with built-in power. No staff needed — just plug in and go.
- Loaning: Forgot or lost a device? Check out a loaner in under a minute. IT manages usage and rules remotely.
- Repairs: Broken devices are dropped off via a simple, self-serve workflow. IT is notified instantly and handles repairs through the portal.
- Deployments: Devices are preloaded by IT and picked up through touch-free, user-specific access — fast and secure.
With user authentication, real-time alerts, reporting, and identity management integration, Enhanced minimizes administrative load while improving accountability and reducing device downtime.
One intelligent system. Total workflow control.
FUYL 23 is the first LocknCharge solution to combine next-gen hardware with Enhanced software — creating a fully integrated platform that adapts to your IT environment.
From charging and loaners to repairs and deployments, FUYL 23 turns everyday tech chaos into structured, automated workflows that save time, reduce stress, and scale effortlessly.
