Case Study: Meow Wolf achieves remote smart exhibition management with balena

Meow Wolf runs 100 hidden Raspberry Pi devices with balena

Meow Wolf, an operator of interactive art exhibitions, needed a user-friendly global system manager to remotely control the roughly 100 hidden Raspberry Pi devices powering their installations. They turned to balena and its balenaOS platform to help them deploy and manage these devices efficiently, especially as they were preparing to open two new exhibitions on schedule.

Using balena allowed Meow Wolf's small engineering team to innovate while streamlining operations. The solution provided flexible account access for their large team, enabling tech operators to perform tasks like resetting devices remotely. This eliminated the need for physical intervention and made the system highly scalable. balena's technical support also acted as a collaborative partner, providing quick and detailed fixes. As a result, Meow Wolf can efficiently maintain their exhibitions and focus on developing new, unique experiences.
