VR SOP Training for Copper Processing & Wire Drawing

Custom VR to standardise line-ups, reduce breaks and protect conductivity

Copper refining, rod casting and wire drawing demand careful control of cleanliness, temperature and mechanical reduction. Spark builds bespoke VR SOP training that replicates your furnaces, caster, draw benches and annealers—so operators practise start-ups, threading and upset recovery without risking contaminations or costly wire breaks.

Sector pain points we address

• Cleanliness & quality: oxide control, lubrication, particle contamination and surface defects.
• Start-up & threading: reel handling, dancer controls, tension settings and alignment.
• Annealing: temperature windows, atmosphere control and grain-size consistency.
• Break response: safe stop, strip-out, re-thread and root-cause checks.
• Testing & traceability: resistivity, diameter tolerance and lot genealogy.

Bespoke build pathway

1. SOP & CTQ capture: draw schedules, lube specs, anneal recipes and inspection criteria.
2. Scenario design: caster start-up, line threading, diameter deviation and lube failure.
3. AI avatar coaching: prompts for tension tuning, cleanliness gates and safety checks.
4. Assessment & analytics: right-first-time, break rates, deviation patterns and OEE impact.
5. Integration: LMS connectivity, multilingual modules and role paths for ops, techs and QA.

Operational outcomes

• Lower break frequency and improved throughput.
• Consistent conductivity and dimensional control.
• Faster recovery from upsets with safer threading routines.
• Audit-ready competence trails for customers.

Why Spark

We tailor content to your equipment, recipes and quality standards—ensuring direct transfer to the caster and draw lines.
