Abstract
In recent years, VR technology has been widely used in various fields. Research results of domestic and foreign scholars around VR technology are also quite abundant, but the results of applying them to logistics training have a certain gap compared with other parties.
This article elaborates on the application of VR technology and the current situation of logistics training. It conducts research on teachers and students. Based on the results obtained, it analyzes the using of virtual reality technology in logistics training and analyzes the specific directions of this application. With the content, detailed modeling, simulation and optimization of automated warehouses were performed, and the using of virtual reality technology in education was forecasted.
This article uses FlexSim software to simulate and demonstrate the logistics supply chain, and applies the normative research method to conduct special research.
The innovation of this paper lies in the fact that the virtual reality technology corresponds to the logistics training in education. And put forward the overall operation flow of the simulation design supply chain instead of a single module. For the first time, the idea of students experiencing the role of the virtual enterprise and feel the work atmosphere and content was first proposed. Small and large-scale automated warehouses were simulated and compared.
