VR SOP Training for Steel Service Centres

Safer coils, cleaner cuts, fewer customer claims

Service centres run heavy coils at speed, with tight tolerances and high risk. Spark creates bespoke VR training that mirrors your receiving, coil handling, slitting, cut-to-length, levelling, packaging and QC—so teams practise the correct sequence without live hazards.

Typical challenges

  • Coil handling: crane moves, C-hooks, strapping and edge protection.
  • Line set-up: knives/spacers, tension, threading and first-off checks.
  • Quality: camber, burr, flatness, coil set and surface defects.
  • Safety: pinch points, LOTO, guarding and safe scrap removal.

Our custom build approach

  1. Capture SOPs & tolerances: set-up sheets, gauges and acceptance criteria.
  2. Create scenarios: coil thread-up, knife change, jam recovery and customer spec change.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts matched to your line controls and checklists.
  4. Measure: right-first-time, downtime drivers and safety behaviours.

Benefits

  • Fewer injuries and safer coil operations.
  • Lower scrap and rework.
  • More consistent deliveries for customers.

Why Spark

Your lines, your tolerances—built into practical training that crews can follow under pressure.
