Two gold awards for
serious game

With its new, playful training, Linde Material Handling is pursuing two key goals: Transfer the necessary basic knowledge in the field of intralogistics to all colleagues worldwide, while raising awareness of challenges and improvement potentials in intralogistics among all employees.

The serious game “City of Goods” developed by imc is set in a distribution centre and structured in five training stations. The learner takes on the role of a new employee, receiving a virtual tour of the warehouse.

They gain an insight into different roles and challenges in the workplace, such as high rate of packaging errors, storage space problems or unsafe working conditions. 

Each learning station comprises an entrance area, one or two rooms and an office. In the virtual learning environment, the learner communicates with colleagues and obtains first-hand information on the issues at hand and the areas that require action. The player earns points by finding the right solution. Once a certain number of points has been achieved, the player is given access to the office. Here, they must explain the solution they came up with and implemented, before earning a minimum number of points to successfully complete the station.

The game is presented in 3D to make the simulation as realistic as possible.
