Solutions for Industry 4.0

Reimagine location intelligence for manufacturing, warehousing, construction and airports with new labor-utilization insights

Solutions for Manufacturing

Our location intelligence gives manufacturing companies operational insights from real-time micro-location data to drive tremendous operational benefits. Volan’s technology provides a real-time view of people’s precise location and movements every few seconds, giving you a crystal clear picture of your manufacturing operations. This allows our customers to identify operational labor inefficiencies and make better, data-driven resource allocation decisions. Our customers can know precisely how labor hours are utilized between roles, work shifts, or product lines to accurately report labor costs and therefore reprice products.

Solutions for Warehousing

Volan provides location intelligence for warehousing companies to increase efficiencies and deliver the most cost-effective service to your customers. Our People Positioning Intelligence give your company powerful operational insights from real-time micro-location data. Volan’s technology provides a real-time view into the precise location and movements of people every few seconds to enable better, at the moment, data-driven labor utilization decisions. Add intelligence to tasking by assigning new task tickets to the next available person closest to the pick area, like Uber assigns tasks to the closest available driver.

Solutions for Construction

Our construction barrier technology provides digitally geofenced barriers for your construction site that are easy to deploy and change. Zoned areas detect wearers (construction workers) that are approaching and exiting the authorized zone, pinpointing their location inside or outside the barrier. Supervisors and airport operations are notified when a wearer approaches the barrier and then notified of a breach and its location when the wearer passes the barrier. This solution allows organizations to save significant costs by reducing the number of security monitors needed, improving worker safety by restricting access to dangerous work zones, and knowing where everyone is in an emergency.

Solutions for Airports

Volan provides virtual, geofenced barriers for airport construction sites to keep workers out of restricted areas. Airport construction projects are never-ending, have many workers, and regulations require full-time monitoring of worker location. Volan’s barrier technology can provide alerts within 2-3 seconds if a worker moves into a restricted space, along with the precise location of the worker and a live map view. The current method of using human escorts at airports is expensive and error-prone. Airports can save overhead costs by reducing the number of security guards and worker escorts that are needed. $1,000,000 is the estimated cost of escort labor for a single project at a major US airport.

A home furnishing manufacturer uncovered $3.1M in annual labor cost savings in one factory after using Volan for just 30 days.

HOW DOES VOLAN WORK?

GEOFENCE THE SPACES

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.

GENERATE MICRO-LOCATION DATA

Every few seconds, wearable sensors produce packets of data that include the precise three-dimensional location of each sensor.

GET ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS

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.

WHY VOLAN?

Intelligent Network

Patented technology automatically forms and reforms its own dynamic wireless mesh network.
Self-healing network – if one network sensor fails, another sensor mends the connection, and data is never lost.
Automated digital geofencing allows for easy installation and integration.

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

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.
