Integration Possibilities of Logistics Process Simulation and VR Technology

Due to the rapidly changing market environment and the increasing complexity of processes, the simulation-based analysis of logistics processes is gaining growing significance. Simulation provides an opportunity to analyse and optimize logistics systems, as well as to conduct preliminary testing before implementation. Virtual reality (VR) can complement this by supporting design, decision-making, and training processes. The primary aim of this publication is not to present simulation modelling or VR technology in general, but rather to examine their potential applications and integration in logistics, with particular attention to synergistic benefits. The most important development directions related to these technologies have been identified. The study focuses on the integration potential of the two fields, which offers new opportunities to enhance efficiency in logistics. The research methodology is inductive, meaning the study was carried out using knowledge gained from practical experience and literature analysis. In addition to exploring and summarizing integration opportunities, the paper also presents the anticipated benefits, providing motivation for applying the solution and for further research in the field.
