Abstract: A logistic station includes a cabinet, a storage boxes in the cabinet, a volume measurement room, a volume measurement system, a user interface and a controller. The volume measurement room has a bottom plate and a ceiling. The volume measurement system in the volume measurement room measures the volume of a consignment. The volume measurement room includes a rangefinder and an image capturing device. The rangefinder on the ceiling measures the height of the consignment placed on the bottom plate. The image capturing device is disposed on the ceiling and captures an image toward the bottom plate. The user interface disposed in the cabinet displays information and receives shipping information and a shipping fee. The controller calculates the volume information according to the image and the height, calculates the shipping fee according to the volume information and the shipping information, and controls one of the storage boxes to open.

Abstract: A locker system includes a body, a driving unit, and a computer unit. The body includes a casing, a separating plate, horizontal plates, vertical plates and covering plates. The separating plate is disposed inside the casing to form an accommodating space and a storage space. The horizontal plates and the vertical plates are disposed inside the accommodating space and cooperate with the casing to form accommodating subspaces. Each covering plate is pivoted to the casing. The driving unit connects to the horizontal plates and the vertical plates. The computer unit obtains the size of an object. When the size of the object exceeds a preset size, the computer unit sends a driving signal to the driving unit, and the driving unit controls at least one horizontal plate or at least one vertical plate to move into the storage space according to the driving signal to accommodate the object.
