VR SOP Training for Advanced Ceramics & Refractories

Consistent forming, firing and finishing—made simple

Technical ceramics need tight control of powders, binders, forming and kilns. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your mixing, spray/granulation, pressing/extrusion, sintering, machining and inspection—so operators learn the exact method first time.

Typical challenges

  • Powder handling: moisture and particle size control.
  • Forming: press force, tool wear, green density and defects.
  • Sintering: temperature ramps/soaks, atmosphere and shrinkage.
  • Finishing & QC: machining, surface finish and dimensional checks.
  • Safety: dust, hot surfaces and handling brittle parts.

Our bespoke build approach

  1. Capture SOPs & CTQs: batch sheets, press settings, kiln curves and acceptance limits.
  2. Create scenarios: mix prep, press set-up, kiln changeover, inspection and segregation.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts aligned to your WI and QA gates.
  4. Assess: right-first-time, defect hotspots and retraining needs.

Benefits

  • Higher yield and fewer cracks/warpage.
  • Reliable dimensions and surface finish.
  • Clear competence records for audits.

Why Spark

We mirror your powders, tools and kiln recipes—no generic modules.
