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.

日常购物者完全依赖于在杂货店和百货公司的不同过道和楼层中行走，以找到他们所需的物品，有时会花费数小时与他人进行持续的互动购物。类似地，访客和患者花费很长时间在医院内寻找他们的目的地位置，并与其他患者和/或访客进行持续的交互。随着寻找所需物品或地点所花费的时间，人们将不断与他人接触，这增加了感染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的电子设备的经验;工业，商业和医疗保健的低功耗，高效率设备，并可以为目前市场上尚未实现的企业提供应用解决方案。Circuit Plus正面临着挑战，包括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，开发和测试一个移动的应用程序，以及利用物联网技术、云计算和移动的应用程序开发的最可靠的室内寻路解决方案。
