Meet FUYL 23 and FUYL 8: Built for Real-World IT Challenges

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

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.
