Listen "Smart Kiosks for Lost People: Innovative Wayfinding Tools in the Cloud"

Episode Synopsis

Most people have used Google Maps or a similar app on the road, but wouldn’t it be great if you had a wayfinding service at a massive indoor facility like a mall? Or a hospital?

Since 2017, the folks at RoveIQ have been deploying interactive smart kiosks nationwide. Not only can these kiosks help people get from A to B, but they’re also invaluable data collectors for their clients.   

RoveIQ’s VP of Software Engineering, Nate Denlinger, breaks down a typical day for their DevOps and how they’re keeping these kiosks of the future running with the cloud.
