Where’s My Forklift The Costly Walkie-Talkie Problem in Warehousing and Logistics

Where’s My Forklift? The Costly Walkie-Talkie Problem in Warehousing and Logistics

In today’s high-speed logistics and warehouse environments, the outdated reliance on walkie-talkies to locate forklifts creates costly inefficiencies. Lost equipment, delayed assignments, and poor communication can waste up to 30% of labor time, dragging down productivity and profits. Real-time location systems (RTLS) like Volan’s platform eliminate these gaps, offering instant visibility into forklift positions, task statuses, and operational flow. By replacing guesswork with real-time intelligence, warehouses can drastically reduce downtime, improve safety, and gain a major competitive edge.

Where’s My Fuel Truck The Costly Walkie-Talkie Problem at Airports

Where’s My Fuel Truck? The Costly Walkie-Talkie Problem at Airports

Airline delays often start with a delayed servicing vehicle, like a fuel truck that is not where it is supposed to be—and a  scramble to find it using walkie-talkies. Despite managing thousands of ground service vehicles, most airports still rely on outdated communication methods that waste time, money, and fuel. Volan Technology brings real-time visibility to these “invisible fleets,” helping airlines optimize equipment usage, reduce delays, and unlock major operational savings. It’s a simple solution to a billion-dollar problem.

Smart Infrastructure Without the Headaches Modernizing Without Massive IT Projects

Smart Infrastructure Without the Headaches: Modernizing Without Massive IT Projects

Airports are facing growing challenges from labor shortages and stricter FAA safety requirements, prompting a need for smarter, more flexible technology solutions. Traditional infrastructure projects—costly, slow, and rigid—are no longer effective for managing the vast number of assets and personnel involved in modern airport operations. In response, wireless mesh networks offer a scalable, adaptable alternative that improves situational awareness without massive IT overhauls. The future of airport operations lies in incremental innovation that enhances safety and efficiency through real-time insights rather than large-scale capital investments.

The Last Mile of Airport Security Modernizing Access Control in the Age of Contract Workers

The Last Mile of Airport Security: Modernizing Access Control in the Age of Contract Workers

Airports are struggling to manage security for unbadged, temporary workers involved in large construction projects, exposing a critical gap in traditional access control systems. Relying on human escorts is proving ineffective due to staffing shortages and high turnover, making it nearly impossible to maintain proper oversight. Forward-thinking airports are adopting role-based geofencing and real-time location tracking to monitor workers virtually and prevent security breaches. The future of airport access control lies in smart, scalable systems that enhance human oversight and secure every corner of airport operations.
