VR SOP Training for Injection Moulding & Thermoforming

Stable cycles, clean changeovers, safer operations

Plastics lines need disciplined set-ups and validation. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your dryers/loaders, mould changes, press settings, robot take-out, thermoform ovens and trim—so crews practise the exact order first.

Pain points we address

• Set-up & start-up: temperatures, pressures, speeds and purging.
• Mould/tooling: changeovers, clamping/platens and water/manifold routing.
• Quality: flash/shorts/sinks/warpage and first-article inspection.
• Safety & maintenance: guarding, hot surfaces and PM checks.

How the custom build helps

1. Capture SOPs & limits: job sheets, recipes and inspection criteria.
2. Create scenarios: tool swap, start-up, defect recovery and shutdown.
3. Coach in VR: prompts aligned to your HMI and QA gates.
4. Assess: RFT, scrap drivers and changeover time.

Benefits

• Lower scrap and faster validation.
• Consistent parts across shifts and sites.
• Audit-ready competence for customers.

Why Spark

Your presses, tools and specs—encoded into simple, repeatable training.
