INTRODUCTION

VR technology provides the real-like experience in a virtual world and the user learns by doing its approach. Such interactive experiences increase the quality of trainees acquisition of the skills. Moreover, it offers good adaptability to the user’s needs and learning style by increasing their motivation during training and also better understanding of the process.

VR IN WAREHOUSE TRAINING

VR technology empowers the logistics of GOODS ease by providing the right information to the professional at the right time and location. It provides the right balanced efficiency that is particularly important for distribution networks.

VALUE PROPOSITION

VR enabled simulations can be deployed in warehouses to improve processes for product picking and packaging, assembly, inventory management, and warehouse staff training.
A worker can see overlaid task instructions on their HMD, which can be configured to assist with GPS navigation within the facility or barcode auto-reading. Trainees receive feedback on their performance, which they can instantly use to improve, tracking their performance during training.
Performance analytics and feedback data provided within the application ensures employees know which areas they need to work on, and trainer’s can view trainee’s areas of strength and improvements as well.
The beauty of training in VR is that they can learn all the steps in the procedures in a lifelike setting without any risk. This greatly contributes to error reduction and increased efficiency in the real warehouse by skipping long established traditional training method and time involved in high amount of repetitions.
VR allows you to connect trainees who are based in different locations. The disparate team can now all meet in the same virtual location and use dynamic tools. This is encouraging the creation of a more technically savvy workforce.
