VR SOP Training for Electronics Contract Manufacturing (SMT)

Improve first-pass yield and reduce rework

SMT lines depend on correct set-up, clean handling and consistent inspection. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your paste printing checks, placement set-ups, reflow profiles, AOI decisions and functional test steps—so operators learn the right sequence clearly.

Typical pain points

  • Set-up discipline: feeders, reels, programme selection and first article checks.
  • Process control: paste quality, stencil cleaning and reflow profiling.
  • Inspection: AOI false calls, defect classification and rework routing.
  • Traceability: serial tracking and customer documentation.

How our bespoke build helps

  1. Capture SOPs & limits: process windows, defect criteria and test scripts.
  2. Create scenarios: line start, changeover, defect triage and escalation.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts matched to your shop-floor screens and checklists.
  4. Assess: first-pass yield, repeat defects and training gaps.

Benefits

  • Higher FPY and fewer rework loops.
  • Faster, cleaner changeovers.
  • Consistent quality for OEM customers.

Why Spark

Your lines and defect rules—converted into practical training that supports real production targets.
