VR SOP Training for Pulp & Paper Operations

Fewer upsets and better sheet quality—through clear routines

Pulp and paper plants balance fibre prep, wet-end chemistry and machine stability. Spark creates bespoke VR training that mirrors your digesters, refiners, stock prep, headbox, forming/press/dryer sections, coaters and winders—so operators practise start-ups and upsets safely.

Typical challenges

• Process control: consistency, basis weight, moisture and profile control.
• Start/stop: felt/cloth changes, threading and break recovery.
• Chemistry: retention aids, sizing, pH and temperature windows.
• Safety & environmental: steam, confined spaces, chemical handling and spills.

Our bespoke build approach

1. Capture SOPs & limits: control strategies, alarm responses and QA checks.
2. Create scenarios: machine start, sheet break, coat weight drift and reel change.
3. Coach in VR: prompts aligned to your DCS/SCADA language and checklists.
4. Assess: time-to-stable-state, quality losses and retraining needs.

Benefits

• Fewer breaks and faster recovery.
• More stable moisture/profile and fewer rejects.
• Clear competence evidence for audits and customers.

Why Spark

We mirror your machine, chemistry and QA gates—no generic modules.
