Reimagine manufacturing with new labor-utilization insights
Reimagine manufacturing with new labor-utilization insights
Running a manufacturing operation is very complex. With so many moving parts, it is difficult to get a handle on all of it. But, that’s what we do. Volan shines a light on the movements of your team. Now you can reward the superstars. And provide training to those who need a little bit more training. And help make sure people are in places that they should not be. We call this location intelligence.
Volan’s location intelligence gives manufacturers operational insights from real-time micro-location data to drive tremendous operational benefits. Our technology provides a real-time view of the precise location and movements of people every few seconds, giving you a crystal clear picture of your manufacturing operations.
Reduce Labor Inefficiencies: Wearable sensors transmit time-stamped location data in and between geofenced work zones to provide heat-map visualization of actual labor utilization. This allows our customers to identify operational inefficiencies and make better, data-driven resource allocation decisions.
Improve Factory-Wide Profitability: Accurate tracking provides actual labor hours spent in each zone which delivers labor cost incurred. Our customers can know exactly how labor hours are utilized between roles, work shifts, or product lines to accurately report labor costs and therefore reprice products.
Enhance Worker Safety: The barrier system creates virtual boundaries around designated safety zones. Wearable sensors generate alerts when workers approach and or breach a geofenced barrier to minimize accidents and incidents.
The 100% wireless BLE mesh network creates geofences in spaces of any size, indoors or out. We use our software and sensors to create a virtual map and then track all activity inside each geofence.
Every few seconds, wearable sensors produce packets of data that include the precise three-dimensional location of each sensor.
Sensors publish the data packets to the mesh network through relay sensors that deliver them instantly to our analytics engine. Micro-location data is processed and secured in an encrypted analytics database.
