Playsight provides a VR‑based training platform that creates a digital twin of a warehouse and uses an AI‑driven virtual trainer to teach order‑picking, packing, forklift and reach‑truck operations. The system delivers multilingual, scenario‑based instruction, records performance data to a cloud analytics dashboard, and scales on demand without additional human trainers. It helps logistics operators reduce onboarding time and trainer labor costs.

Problem
Logistics firms often face lengthy onboarding cycles for new warehouse staff because traditional training relies on physical equipment, multiple human trainers, and on‑site safety drills, leading to inconsistent skill acquisition and elevated risk of accidents during the learning phase.
Solution
Playsight’s Virtual Warehouse Trainer® creates a high‑fidelity digital twin of each warehouse process and delivers it through immersive VR headsets. An autonomous virtual trainer guides learners step‑by‑step, adapting the pace to individual performance while providing real‑time feedback. The platform supports order‑picking, packing, forklift and reach‑truck operation, and can be customized to include any process exceptions. Multi‑language voice and text prompts ensure comprehension across diverse workforces. All training sessions are logged to a cloud‑based analytics dashboard that surfaces KPIs such as error rates, onboarding speed, and equipment handling proficiency. Because the trainer runs on demand, organizations can scale sessions across multiple headsets without adding trainer headcount. The solution reduces first‑week productivity loss by up to 50 % and cuts trainer labor by roughly 75 %.
Target Audience
Primary customers are warehouse operators, third‑party logistics providers, and large distribution centers that need to onboard forklift, reach‑truck, and order‑picking staff quickly and safely. The platform also serves social‑work organizations that train participants for logistics roles.
