VR SOP Training for Steelmaking & Continuous Casting

Safer heats and cleaner casts—with clear procedures

BOF/EAF shops and casters manage extreme energy and tight timing. Spark creates bespoke VR training around your charge/bath control, tapping, ladle metallurgy, tundish prep and caster operations—so crews rehearse critical steps safely.

Where VR helps most

• Heat control: chemistry targets, temp hits and slag practice.
• Ladle & tundish: lining checks, pre-heat, inclusion control and openers.
• Caster: start/stop, level control, powder practice and breakout response.
• Safety: molten metal handling, LOTO and crane/lifting discipline.
• Records: heat/strand traceability and QC sign-off.

How the custom build helps

1. Capture SOPs & limits: heat curves, practices and alarm responses.
2. Create scenarios: charge plans, tap-to-cast flow, clogging, breakout drills.
3. Coach in VR: prompts that match your control-room language.
4. Assess: right-first-time, near-miss trends and retraining needs.

Benefits

• Fewer breakouts and cleaner chemistry hits.
• Safer heavy operations and lifts.
• Audit-ready competence for customers.

Why Spark

Your practices and setpoints drive the trainer—so practice equals performance.
