Belter<\/h2>

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of online orders has increased significantly. Consumers expect speed and convenience, while city centers are facing growing congestion, emissions, and inefficient delivery flows.
Founder Rick Voogt saw that things could be done differently. No longer door\u2011to\u2011door delivery, but a smart, locally organized out\u2011of\u2011home delivery system. Together, we translated this vision into a feasible and scalable solution. <\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Together with our partners, we co-created the BelterBox: a modular system of smart lockers in various sizes, designed to be stacked into flexible configurations. These stacks can be deployed at retail locations, residential buildings, and in public spaces \u2014 always within \u201cslipper distance\u201d: no more than a 200\u2011meter walk.
Through an app, users can instantly see where and when their parcel is ready for pickup. In micro-hubs, the lockers are efficiently loaded, with software determining the optimal configuration and allocation for each delivery. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In our workshop, we explored various material combinations and construction principles. By testing for stability, safety, and weight, we developed a system that is both lightweight and robust.
The final solution combines EPP foam with an aluminum outer structure. Because the boxes function exclusively as part of stacked units, the internal walls could be made from lightweight foam. The result is a system that is strong yet easy to move using e-bikes or light electric vehicles.
The technical development was carried through to full production level, including structural design, detailing, tolerances, and assembly. This makes the system immediately ready for scaling and manufacturing. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBelter enables delivery moments to be consolidated and organized locally. This reduces transport movements, increases efficiency, and contributes to a more livable city. A solution that works not only today, but is also ready for large-scale rollout. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
