Abstract

E-commerce is blooming in Malaysia. Benefited from the blooming of e-commerce, courier industry gained rapid growth in Malaysia as well. One of the challenges in delivery services is failed delivery attempt. Smart mailbox is a potential solution for this challenge. With the rising of Internet of Things and the smart home technologies, the concept of smart mailbox has drawn more attention as the solution for failed delivery attempt in delivery services. In this project, a smart mailbox is built. WeMos board is used to control the smart mailbox system. Piezoelectric sensors are used to detect the delivery of a parcel. Meantime, Blynk app is used to send notification to recipients remotely. This smart mailbox’s idea is at initial stage. There is room for improvement in the system such as additional sensors to capture the identity of deliveryman, the condition of delivered parcel and the activities inside the smart mailbox.
