In this paper, we present LogiIQ, a VR-based logistics training platform designed to support repetitive learning and self-directed training to address the growing demand for skilled logistics personnel due to increasing industrial automation. We built LogiIQ on a Unity-based WebGL 3D environment to simulate the operation of key logistics equipment—robotic arms, AGVs, and forklifts. Furthermore, we implemented a system for continuous tracking of individual progress based on learning history by integrating a React and Spring Boot-based web dashboard to collect and visualize learner’s performance data in real time. In a pilot study involving novice users, we confirmed that average scores across all modules nearly doubled while the standard deviation decreased, thereby demonstrating that LogiIQ is effective in enhancing learner proficiency and reducing skill gaps among learners. By organically combining simulation, data analytics, and adaptive feedback, we have established a self-directed, data-driven learning environment that goes beyond simple virtual training. Through this research, we aim to lay a foundation for more consistent and effective practical training in logistics education.

This study presents a real-time interactive VR logistics training system by integrating YOLOv8-based object detection and tracking into a Unity + Sentis platform. To support realistic logistic scenarios, we constructed a custom VR logistics dataset consisting of approximately 15,000 images across six key object categories: boxes, forklifts, conveyors, people, AGVs, and robotic arms. Leveraging a YOLOv8 model trained on our domain-specific logistics dataset, we integrated real-time object detection with the Unity 3D coordinate system to enable synchronized interactions such as AGV obstacle avoidance and robotic arm operations. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system achieves high detection accuracy and real-time inference speeds exceeding 30 FPS (achieving 50-60 FPS on Apple M3 GPU with MPS acceleration), ensuring smooth performance in immersive VR environments. This approach addresses the limitations of real-time object recognition and responsiveness in conventional VR logistics training systems, expanding the potential for an intelligent and immersive training platform that dynamically adapts to learner behavior and training scenarios. Our research provides the foundation for establishing a digital twin/metaverse-based smart logistics education ecosystem and contributes to cultivating next-generation logistics professionals with enhanced safety awareness and operational efficiency.

It is important to track cargo state in global Maritime Logistics. By the nature of Maritime Logistics, it takes cargo a long time to be transported. If a problem in cargo state comes up in transit, we need real- time notice and response about the problem. Also, we need how to track the cargo's state information in order to clarify where the responsibility lies when problems occur. Although the study of the existing Cargo Location Trace was partly conducted, there is a lack of study with managing cargo state depending on environments. This study suggests a system to track and manage the cargo state in Maritime Logistics IP-RFID Service Platform. A few requirements are identified in order to manage cargo state and a few functions are drawn. Furthermore, the process is suggested to generate cargo state information in Maritime Logistics IP-RFID Service Platform. In this study, there is significance in suggesting a plan to track cargo state as well as track cargo location studied mainly.

Frequency Identification (RFID) systems enable serivces such as information exchange among objects, position tracking, and remote processing and mangment by attaching electronic tags to objects, collecting data from the objects, and processing the data. RFID needs interface environment and network structure that make it easy to use microsensor technologies and information communication devices for communication between humans and objects and between objects in addition to existing communication between humans. The application of RFID technology is going beyond forward logistics, which is the delivery of manufactured goods to consumers, and being expanded, though not frequently yet, to reverse logistics, which includes return, recovery, reuse, reproduction and disposal. The present study purposed to propose middleware platform and framework by applying RFID technology to reverse logistics.

Purpose ? This study investigates the impact of logistics platforms on overall logistics performance by examining three critical dimensions: technical, organizational, and environmental. With the expansion of global trade, digital transformation, and increasing complexity in supply chain networks, the demand for advanced logistics solutions such as logistics platforms has become essential. These platforms can enhance visibility, coordination, and responsiveness across supply chain stakeholders. Design/Methodology/Approach ? An empirical analysis was conducted using survey data collected from 240 employees engaged in supply chain?related roles in Korea. The measurement items were developed with input from logistics professionals and academic experts to ensure both practical relevance and theoretical rigor. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling to identify the relationships among the variables. Findings ? The results reveal that the technical and organizational characteristics of logistics platforms significantly improve information sharing among stakeholders. In contrast, the environmental dimension, when well established, naturally facilitates information sharing without the need for additional efforts. Furthermore, enhanced information sharing leads to improved logistics performance in terms of efficiency, responsiveness, and service quality. Research Implications ? This study contributes to the understanding of logistics platform adoption by highlighting the integrated effects of technical, organizational, and environmental factors. The findings provide valuable insights for logistics practitioners, platform developers, and policy makers seeking to support digital transformation in supply chain management.

The concept of e-Business has been around for more than two decades but it has not been used widely enough due to high installation and maintenance cost and complexity. In order to solve such problems, two standardization organizations UN/CEFACT and OASIS have developed an open e-Business standard called ebXML that can be easily adopted by industries. Based on the ebXML, we have developed an e-Logistics integrated platform for industries to do business electronically. The e-Logistics integrated platform was applied to B2B postal logistics industry and efficient interoperability between companies with different systems has been achieved.

This study examines how platform-based after-sales service quality influences consumers’ perceived value and continuance intention when purchasing imported cosmetics on Chinese e-commerce platforms. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with Chinese consumers who had purchased imported cosmetics via major platforms and used platform-provided after-sales services within the past year. Measurement items adapted from previous studies were evaluated through confirmatory factor analysis, and the structural relationships among the key variables were tested using structural equation modeling and multi-group comparisons based on information usefulness and information enjoyment. The results show that after-sales service quality, conceptualized as comprising reliability and service interaction (responsiveness and empathy), significantly enhances perceived value, and perceived value in turn increases consumers’ continuance intention to keep using the platforms for purchasing imported cosmetics. Multi-group analysis further indicates that the positive effect of perceived value on continuance intention is stronger among consumers who perceive the information provided by the platform as more useful and enjoyable. Overall, the findings suggest that reliable and empathetic after-sales processes elevate consumers’ perceived value and foster continuance usage, while high-quality information further strengthens the link between perceived value and continuance intention, thereby extending value- and continuance-based explanations to cross-border commerce for imported cosmetics and offering practical guidance for platforms seeking to design trustworthy after-sales service systems and richer information environments.
