Logan speaks to some of the challenges that come with implementing new RTLS systems, as well as the new applications and use cases that are enabled by those implementations. Logan also shares his thoughts on user data collection and the risks and opportunities that come with that, as well as, on a higher level, what he thinks of the disconnect between what IoT promises and where we are in terms of current, real-world applications.
Logan Maxwell received a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from NC State University in 2013. After attempting to start his own business right out of college, he joined WISER Systems as the first employee.
