Volan’s RTLS platform supports automated worker escorting by enabling real-time monitoring of non-badged or temporary personnel within complex or high-security facilities. Escort personnel can track and guide individuals safely, ensuring they remain in authorized zones and follow approved paths. If someone strays from their designated route, Volan triggers instant alerts for rapid intervention. This enhances safety, reduces administrative burden, and ensures regulatory compliance in industries like logistics, construction, and airports. Read our Volan blog posts below to learn more.

Beyond Air Safety: The Hidden Challenges of Securing Airport Ground Operations

Recent incidents have highlighted the importance of aviation safety, but securing airport ground operations presents equally critical challenges. Staffing shortages make it difficult to monitor hundreds of contractors and delivery workers daily, increasing the risk of security breaches. Advanced technologies now enable real-time monitoring, providing immediate alerts if escorted workers deviate from authorized areas, improving security without overburdening human resources. By integrating automated monitoring with human oversight, airports can enhance safety standards while addressing workforce limitations.

How One Airport Plans to Cut FAA-Mandated Escort Costs by 82%

In a bid to enhance safety, ensure FAA compliance, and reduce costs, one major U.S. airport is pioneering a groundbreaking solution utilizing smart badges and advanced geofence-based positioning systems. By equipping construction workers with these badges, one person can effectively monitor the location of 40 workers using just a laptop, eliminating the need for the traditional 1:5 escort-to-worker ratio. This innovative approach slashes projected escort costs by a staggering 82%, as illustrated by a detailed cost analysis.
