The Volan Positioning System (VPS)

An entirely new micro-location technology built to optimize labor productivity and worker safety

VPS IN ACTION

HOW IT WORKS

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 POSITIONING SYSTEM (VPS)?

VPS is a private and independent BLE 5 mesh network providing the flexibility to implement in any space, indoors or outside.

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.

Intelligent Insights

Private By Design

A Fortune 500 manufacturer used Volan to uncover a 54% average difference between estimated vs. actual cost of labor by SKU. This insight enabled the company to reprice product lines and greatly improve margin by SKU.

WHY BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY?

Bluetooth Low Energy avoids interference from other wireless devices.
Bluetooth Low Energy has lower power consumption than regular Bluetooth.
No line of sight means it can connect through any obstacles.

Bluetooth devices are far more cost-effective.
Bluetooth has a better range than infrared communication.
Bluetooth is easily upgradeable.
