VOLAN IN ACTION

Through Mobile Asset Micro-Location of people, machines, and robots, we help companies maximize productivity, improve security and increase safety.

The Volan Positioning System (VPS) offers logistics, manufacturing, and construction operations improved efficiency, safety, and reduced costs – delivering 10X more accuracy at less than 20% of the cost of legacy systems.

VPS can identify labor inefficiencies that can save millions of dollars in annual operational costs. VPS can reduce cost of secure zone monitoring by 80%.

VPS can quantify true labor utilization by day, shift, job, role, etc. to accurately account for and predict labor costs. Volan customers have discovered as much as 60% less in actual versus budgeted labor expenditure.

Workplace injuries cost companies around $167 billion per year. VPS increases worksite safety by knowing who is where and when, and by instantly alerting workers and operations to unsafe areas.

VOLAN TECHNOLOGY

We have helped companies effectively maximize their productivity, reduce labor costs and improve worker safety.

Superior to Legacy Systems

Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) offer an opportunity for logistics, manufacturing and construction operations to improve efficiency, safety, and reduce costs. The Volan Positioning System (VPS) is a modern RTLS architecture purpose-built for mobile asset micro-location, giving it unique attributes that make it superior to every other RTLS.

Install anywhere in minutes, not months

Traditional RTLS using retrofitted technology such as WiFi, RFID, or Bluetooth tags can take months of wiring and drilling, then calibrating and installing hundreds of devices to become operational. VPS can be deployed and running in minutes with no additional wiring, drilling or calibration. Data for your mobile asset analytics is available right away.

Airport Security

At one of the fastest growing U.S. airports, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), Volan is being implemented to significantly reduce costs and greatly improve data analysis around construction security and worker safety.

Labor Efficiency

At Mohawk Industries, VPS was implemented to accurately capture true labor utilization across machines, work areas, product lines, time periods, and P&Ls so the company can better manage their labor asset, improve productivity, and lower cost.

Construction Safety

Until now there has not been a reliable way to capture and take automated action on the live construction locations of thousands of moving people and equipment.

Volan is meeting the need at large construction sites around the world to improve worker safety. Smart site safety depends on knowing the real-time locations and status of all workers, everywhere, on these massive sites. Volan helps keep everyone and everything where they should be and where they should not be.

Our AI-powered 100% wireless mesh network sensor architecture is purposely built for geolocating moving mobile assets. Users can leverage apps to visualize, analyze, and take action on operational locations. The result is improved productivity, safety and peace of mind.

Finally, there is a powerful way to greatly advance the efficiency and safety of operations for companies in construction, logistics, and airports while lowering costs. Using new micro-location technology, the Volan Positioning System shines a bright light on the dynamic movements of valuable assets, providing companies with operational insights and automated auctions that were never before possible.

WHY VOLAN

Volan provides robust asset tracking, asset positioning of people, equipment, robots, etc. for safety, unprecedented efficiency improvements, and compliance with fiscal and safety protocols.

Maximize Productivity

Analyze movement patterns of assets over time to discover ways to optimize floor layout and routes.

Fiscal Compliance

Volan can efficiently track and compile the labor time of workers, minimizing disputes and allowing for faster payroll.

Improve Safety Protocols

Ability to curb any violations of assets moving into restricted zones, mitigating any potential injuries and improving safety standards.

HOW IT WORKS

Volan’s micro-location sensors form digital geofences around the spaces where you want to capture and optimize asset positioning. These credit-card size sensors are wireless and they don’t connect to any existing WIFI network, making for a simple and fast setup.

As assets move throughout the worksite, wearable devices publish micro-location data to the Volan network every few seconds, producing a virtual cloud of asset positioning data.

Location data streams in real-time to the Volan analytics engine for dashboard reporting on historical productivity. Real-time alerts inform operation managers when in-the-moment changes can correct inefficiencies or drive higher productivity.

Volan customers typically get a 30-60x annual ROI on their investment with us.

RTLS Glossary: Industry 4.0 Terminology Defined

Technology

RTLS is used across many industries with specific applications such as workforce optimization and automatic rostering. We've compiled some of the most important terms related to Real-Time Location Services (RTLS).

Ultra-Wideband (UWB) vs. BLE

Technology

What is the difference between ultra-wideband and Bluetooth? Discover the pros and cons of each technology to find the best fit for your RTLS needs. Ultra-wideband is a low-power radio technology for transmitting data within the 3.1 to 10.6 GHz range. Bluetooth Low Energy is a radio frequency technology that transmits data in the 2.4 GHz spectrum band, specifically across 80 different 1 MHz wide channels from 2400 to 2483.5 MHz.

Bluetooth vs. BLE

Technology

Bluetooth Low Energy differs from its parent technology because it remains dormant until a connection is initiated. Where Bluetooth is best suited for a constant exchange of larger amounts of data, Bluetooth Low Energy excels at exchanging smaller amounts of data over a much longer period of time. Bluetooth Low Energy uses a reduced amount of power through faster connection times than traditional Bluetooth devices, reducing connections from 100mS to 6mS.

What is Geofencing?

Technology

Geofencing is a system of virtual boundaries. Using GPS, radio frequency identification, Wi-Fi, and other data mechanisms, a geographical location carries a “geofence” that shows the specific location, and mobility patterns of people and their devices. Geofencing software provides real-time coordinates within the virtual fence perimeter. If the device goes beyond that perimeter, alerts—through a push notification or text message—will be sent to the user.

Time and Motion Studies for Manufacturing

Manufacturing

What is a time and motion study? What’s the best way to perform a task? Time and motion studies are a scientific way of cutting to the core of that question. Simply put, “motion” entails the movements related to a task, and “time” is the duration it takes to complete a task. If we’re all doing the same task independently, the person who finishes the fastest, using the most effective “movements,” creates the best way of getting the job done without continuous observation.

Increasing Workforce Productivity

Manufacturing, Warehousing

Workforce productivity is the sum of what employees do each day. Put simply, this concept denotes the total amount of goods and services produced through an understanding of an organization's biggest asset — its people. Payroll often ranks highest among company expenditures, sometimes using up to one-third of a company's revenue. With labor shortages impacting the supply of available workers and turnover rates, employers must hire the right people and ensure that they’re creating environments for employees to be able to work in the most efficient manner. Hiring, onboarding, and productivity standards are extremely important for businesses to invest in.
