Warehouse induction
Learn pedestrian routes, crossing points and restricted areas in a model of the site. New starters arrive with a clearer understanding of where goods and vehicles move.
Industries /
Logistics
Prepare warehouse teams before their first busy shift.
Practise picking, handoffs and safe movement through a warehouse. VR can introduce the operation before floor access; AR can guide a picker through the real task.

PRACTICAL USES
Where it helps your team.
New starters need to learn the layout and the task while a warehouse continues operating.
Picking and checking
Practise locating a bin, confirming the item and quantity, and reporting a mismatch. AR guidance can put these instructions in view during the task.
Loading and equipment awareness
Rehearse loading checks and recognise blind spots around handling equipment. Review unsafe decisions before supervised floor practice.

25%improvement in picking efficiency
DHL reported this result from its 2015 Ricoh warehouse pilot in the Netherlands. Workers used AR smart glasses for picking guidance; this was an operational workflow trial, not a VR training study.

MEASURE YOUR PILOT
Check the difference in your operation.
- Correct picks per hour
- Wrong-item and wrong-quantity errors
- Time until a new starter works independently
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
Build around the actual task.
A warehouse layout, picking workflow, equipment routes and the errors supervisors see most often. Choose a repeatable task so results can be compared fairly.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you start.
Is AR picking the same as VR training?
No. VR rehearses a task in a virtual environment. AR adds guidance while someone works in the real warehouse. The right choice depends on whether the problem is preparation or support during work.
Can the layout match our warehouse?
Yes. Share plans and reference photos, then have operations staff check routes, signage and procedures. Changes to the warehouse need a corresponding content update.
