Daily shoppers who rely solely on walking through different aisles and floors, in groceries and department stores, to find their required items, spend at times hours shopping with constant interaction with others. Similarly, visitors and patients spend a long time finding their destined location within hospitals with continuous interaction with other patients and/or visitors. With the time spent to find required items or locations, people will be in constant contact with others, which increases the risk of contagious diseases like COVID-19. Circuit Plus Inc, an engineering firm incorporated in 1999, has more than 20 years of experience in Canada to design, develop, manufacture, and test of electronic devices in different categories; Industrial, Commercial, and health care for low power, high-efficiency devices and can provide applied solutions for the enterprises which are currently being unfulfilled in the market. Circuit Plus is experiencing challenges in the form of a lack of knowledge in new technologies, including IoT and clout, and the lack of expertise in embedding this technology in products, potentially helping them become more competitive in the market. Circuit Plus will collaborate with Humber College to develop and test a mobile application and a most reliable solution for indoor wayfinding leveraging IoT technology, cloud computing, and mobile app development.

在杂货店和百货公司，每天的购物者仅仅依靠穿过不同的过道和楼层来寻找他们需要的物品，有时要花几个小时的时间来购物，并不断与他人互动。同样，访客和患者在医院内花费很长时间寻找他们的目的地，并与其他患者和/或访客不断互动。由于花费时间寻找所需物品或地点，人们将不断与其他人接触，这增加了COVID-19等传染病的风险。Circuit Plus Inc是一家成立于1999年的工程公司，在加拿大拥有20多年的设计，开发，制造和测试不同类别电子设备的经验；针对工业、商业、医疗等领域的低功耗、高效率设备，为企业提供目前市场上尚未实现的应用解决方案。Circuit Plus面临的挑战是缺乏对新技术的了解，包括物联网和影响力，以及缺乏将该技术嵌入产品的专业知识，这可能有助于他们在市场上更具竞争力。Circuit Plus将与亨伯学院合作开发和测试移动应用程序，以及利用物联网技术、云计算和移动应用程序开发的最可靠的室内寻路解决方案。
