Reduce Risk & Improve Efficiency with Real-Time Location Systems

Michael Bettua Square

Our CEO, Michael Bettua explains that high-risk environments like airports and industrial sites demand precise, real-time visibility to prevent costly errors and safety incidents. Volan’s infrastructure-free RTLS platform delivers sub-second tracking of people, assets, and equipment — without GPS or complex installations. Customers have used Volan to reduce search time, enhance safety, and uncover inefficiencies that were otherwise invisible. In high-risk environments, every second counts — and visibility is everything.

In fast-paced, high-stakes environments like airports, warehouses, distribution centers, and industrial facilities, even a brief delay or overlooked detail can create a ripple effect.

A missed shipment, an asset that can’t be found, or a worker entering a restricted area — any one of these can trigger safety incidents, downtime, or regulatory violations.

Reduce Risk & Improve Efficiency with Real-Time Location Systems

That’s why forward-thinking organizations are turning to real-time location systems (RTLS) to mitigate risk and boost operational efficiency. And with Volan’s infrastructure-free RTLS platform, getting that level of visibility has never been easier.

Real-Time Data That Drives Real-World Results

Volan’s platform offers precise, real-time location tracking for people, equipment, and inventory — delivering continuous visibility down to the sub-second level. Unlike barcode scans or passive RFID, our technology updates in real time without manual input, delays, or human error.
With real-time location data, your team can:

  • Prevent incidents by monitoring movement in and around high-risk zones.
  • Recover assets faster by knowing exactly where tools, vehicles, or goods are at any moment.
  • Improve compliance by generating audit-ready location histories and reports.
  • Reduce downtime by streamlining workflows and identifying process bottlenecks.
  • Respond instantly in emergency situations, locating personnel and coordinating evacuations.

Proven Results Across High-Risk Industries

Organizations using Volan’s technology have significantly improved safety outcomes, reduced search time for critical equipment, and even uncovered hidden inefficiencies that were costing thousands of hours per year. In several deployments, what began as a safety initiative evolved into a full operational intelligence platform — supporting everything from asset tracking to productivity optimization.

One industrial site eliminated over 80% of time lost searching for tools and equipment. Another logistics center identified and corrected a costly workflow delay in under a week using location analytics. Across the board, Volan customers are seeing measurable returns — not just in safety, but in cost savings, process speed, and workforce accountability.

Designed for Complex, Demanding Environments

Volan’s RTLS solution is built for environments where traditional tracking systems fail. Our wireless mesh technology requires no hard-wiring, GPS, or IT infrastructure, and it thrives in areas with concrete walls, steel structures, or high volumes of activity.

Installation is quick, and Volan scales easily across indoor, outdoor, and hybrid spaces. Whether you’re managing a sprawling airport, a complex production floor, or a dynamic warehouse, Volan gives you complete visibility without disrupting operations.

Smarter Decisions. Safer Teams. Stronger Operations.

If your organization is still relying on clipboards, spreadsheets, or outdated tracking systems, now is the time to modernize. With Volan, you gain real-time location intelligence that empowers your team to move faster, stay safer, and work smarter.
