VR SOP Training for Glass Container Manufacturing

Safer forming and more stable quality—step by step

Bottle plants balance hot-end stability with cold-end inspection. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your batch/cullet, furnace, forehearth, IS machine (blow-and-blow/press-and-blow), annealing lehr, coatings and inspection—so crews rehearse critical steps safely.

Common issues we fix

• Hot-end control: gob weight/temps, mold set-up, blank/finish defect prevention.
• Lehr profiles: anneal curves, checks and cord/strain issues.
• Cold-end: coatings, impact tests, visual/vision inspection and pack-to-mold traceability.
• Safety: heat, moving equipment and glass handling.

Our simple build approach

1. Capture SOPs & specs: recipes, lehr curves and inspection limits.
2. Create scenarios: job change, blank/mould swaps, leaners/defects, lehr upset recovery.
3. Coach in VR: prompts matching your signage and HMI steps.
4. Measure: right-first-time, defect maps and retraining needs.

Benefits

• Fewer checks, birdswing and finish defects.
• Safer hot-end and handling routines.
• Audit-ready competence for brand audits.

Why Spark

Your IS settings, lehr curves and QA—encoded into clear, repeatable training.
