What's this?

This electro-mechanical device is an add-on for a mechanical lock, enabling remote locking and unlocking via an app. Primarily used in commercial and business cases:

- Offices & coworking spaces – employee access control, temporary passes, entry/exit logging.

- Hotels & rentals (Airbnb, short-term stays) – remote issuance and revocation of digital keys instead of traditional cards or keys.

- Warehouses & server rooms – restricted access for specific staff, entry log tracking.

- Parking & utility rooms – access management without physical presence.

- Temporary access for couriers – e.g., secure package delivery inside designated areas.

- This device can also be integrated into a smart home system.

Summary of the work done: I developed a manufacturable device structure by converting the initial surface-based 3D model into a solid one, adapting it to mass production requirements while preserving the overall appearance
