Large infrastructure and industrial sites often have extremely intricate operational systems with sometimes hundreds of thousands of people and assets to manage. But a lack of visibility into the location of assets and people causes a host of challenges on these sites, from budgetary to operational challenges, to most importantly, worker safety challenges.Volan Technology's microlocation industrial intelligence tech is helping site operators address these issues by giving them instant visibility of an entire site's assets.Volan's CEO Michael Bettua and Chief Communications Officer Mike Nachshen join CityScale to discuss the advancements in microlocation technology and the operational and human impacts on large infrastructure sites.

In our first episode, we chat with Seyi Fabode, Founder of AsimovGrid. AsimovGrid helps data center developers and communities take a holistic view of power, water, fiber, and land availability as one system of assets to get data centers up and running quickly.But before AsimovGrid, Seyi founded Varuna, a water infrastructure startup that gave cities insight into issues with water quality. Varuna ultimately closed operations, after about five years. Check out our talk with Seyi to hear about why they shut down, what he learned, and how he’s applying those learnings to his work at AsimovGrid.If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and maybe drop us a note!
