VR SOP Training for Plastic Extrusion & Profiles

Stable dimensions and fewer customer rejects

Extrusion plants rely on correct line set-up, steady temperatures and disciplined measurement. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your die changes, puller/cutter settings, cooling tanks, gauge checks and packing rules—so teams learn the process clearly and avoid avoidable scrap.

Typical challenges

  • Start-up: warm-up routines, purge steps and first-off checks.
  • Dimensional control: wall thickness, ovality and shrinkage management.
  • Changeovers: die swaps, material changes and colour transitions.
  • Quality evidence: logs, samples and correct labelling.

How our bespoke build works

  1. Capture SOPs & tolerances: job sheets, measurement plans and acceptance limits.
  2. Create scenarios: line start, die change, out-of-tolerance response and packing QA.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts matched to your HMIs and QC forms.
  4. Assess: scrap drivers, changeover time and repeat defects.

Benefits

  • Lower scrap and steadier output.
  • Consistent measurements and traceability.
  • Faster onboarding for new operators.

Why Spark

Your lines and tolerances—trained in VR so operators can keep quality stable shift after shift.
