Real-time micro-location refers to the ability to track the precise location of people, equipment, or assets with high accuracy, often within a few inches, at any given moment. Unlike GPS, which is unreliable indoors, micro-location technology uses advanced systems such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Ultra-Wideband (UWB), and proprietary algorithms to deliver consistent indoor positioning.

Volan provides real-time micro-location through its intelligent, wireless mesh network and wearable devices. These devices continuously communicate with fixed sensors throughout a facility, allowing for instant location updates without relying on Wi-Fi or manual check-ins. This enables organizations in industries like manufacturing, education, and logistics to monitor movement patterns, ensure personnel safety, streamline workflows, and respond immediately to security or emergency events.

Optimizing Aircraft Turn Times with Volan’s Micro-Location Technology

/0 Comments/by

Michael Bettua explains how Volan’s micro-location technology optimizes aircraft turn times by providing real-time tracking of ground support vehicles, such as fuel and luggage trucks. This enables more precise coordination, reducing idle times and increasing operational efficiency, which is critical for maximizing flight capacity and ensuring on-time departures. The technology also enhances safety and regulatory compliance while cutting down operational costs and carbon emissions. Airports using Volan have reported significant improvements, such as reducing average turn times by 15%, leading to more flights and better passenger satisfaction.
