A Step Towards Zero Redelivery: Unison and Sesame Collaboration
In the quest for greater convenience and enhanced security in package deliveries, CANDY HOUSE JAPAN and Unison have announced a collaboration that promises to revolutionize the way we receive packages at home. Starting from December 15, 2025, Unison will launch a brand new integrated delivery box called the "Vico Smart DB," equipped with the innovative Sesame smart lock technology from CANDY HOUSE.
Addressing Logistics Challenges
The rise in redeliveries has become a significant social concern, contributing to logistical burdens and increased CO2 emissions. CANDY HOUSE has been advocating for a lifestyle where keys are no longer necessary, thanks to its Sesame series of smart locks. This partnership with Unison marks a significant step forward in promoting a seamless integration of smart technology from the entrance to the front door, ensuring a more efficient receiving experience.
Key Features of the Vico Smart DB
The Vico Smart DB stands out for its diverse unlocking methods that enhance user experience, emphasizing both security and convenience:
1. Multiple Unlocking Methods with the Sesame Series
Users can unlock the delivery box using their smartphones via the Sesame app. Not only does this make retrieving packages smooth and hassle-free, but it also allows users to manage and share access conveniently through the app.
- - Sesame Touch: Utilizing card authentication, users can unlock the box with FeliCa or MIFARE-equipped transportation IC cards, their smartphone's IC card, or even their Apple Watch.
- - Fingerprint Recognition: This feature allows easy access with just a finger touch, making the unlocking process seamless without the need for physical keys.
- - Remote Nano: Users can unlock the box remotely with the press of a button, ensuring accessibility even from a distance.
The locking mechanism is intuitive; after placing the package inside, the delivery person will turn the internal knob to secure it, and closing the retrieval door automatically prepares the box for the next delivery.
2. Support for Multiple Deliveries
Delivery personnel only need to turn the knob to "Lock" after placing the package inside, completing the securing process efficiently. The flap design allows for the addition of larger items or multiple smaller packages (around W200×H70×D350 mm) even after the box is locked.
3. Exceptional Installation Ease
The construction of the delivery box allows for easy installation of the outer door after the main box is set up. By covering the opening and control area with the outer door, the design remains sleek and visually appealing, especially for wall-mounted installations, where joints can be concealed for a more integrated aesthetic.
4. Four Installation Options to Suit Your Home
Selecting the right installation type is easy:
- - Gate Post Type: Utilizing the “Vico Smart DB Gate Post Stand” (sold separately), this type integrates lighting, a nameplate, and an intercom.
- - Stand Type: Ideal for smaller spaces, using the “Vico DB Stand TZ” (sold separately) ensures easy access to packages.
- - Fixed Type: This option is suitable for entrance porches, making it perfect for renovations, and uses the “Vico DB Fixed Base” (sold separately).
- - Embedded Type: Discreetly fits within the wall, allowing retrieval without drawing attention; it requires the “Vico DB Embedded Base” (sold separately).
5. Aesthetic Design in Six Colors
The Vico Smart DB is designed with a simple and elegant appearance, available in six colors that blend seamlessly with various architectural styles:
- - Matte White
- - Matte Beige
- - Matte Black
- - Metal Gray
- - Cherry
- - Walnut
