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.

JFK Airport Terminal 4

At one of the busiest international terminals in the country—JFK Airport Terminal 4—Volan is powering the world’s first real-time cart tracking system, revolutionizing how mobility services are delivered. Passengers no longer have to wonder when a people mover cart will arrive—Volan’s advanced location intelligence eliminates the guesswork by providing accurate, real-time updates on cart locations and arrival times. Behind the scenes, operators gain unmatched visibility into cart availability, movement patterns, and staffing needs, enabling more efficient deployment, faster response times, and a better overall experience for travelers who rely on these critical services.

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.

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.

What is Workforce Optimization?

Technology

Workforce optimization is center stage in the conversation about how organizations can make better decisions regarding their resources and employees. In a time of unprecedented change, organizations are tasked with fundamentally rethinking how they work. From medicine to manufacturing, employee productivity remains more essential than ever. In this sea of change, industry-leading companies are finding opportunities for innovation and efficiency—and workforce optimization is a vital component of these processes.
