VR SOP Training for Warehouse Automation & Robotics

Keep automated sites safe, efficient and predictable

Automated warehouses depend on consistent operating routines and safe interventions. Spark builds bespoke VR training that mirrors your AMR zones, AS/RS aisles, pick stations, exceptions handling, lockout procedures and escalation rules—so teams practise without stopping the real system.

Common challenges

  • Zone safety: pedestrian/robot separation and traffic rules.
  • Exceptions: blocked totes, mis-picks, sensor faults and manual recovery.
  • Maintenance: safe access, LOTO and restart sequences.
  • Performance: scanning discipline and station standard work.

Our bespoke build approach

  1. Capture SOPs: site maps, WMS flows and escalation rules.
  2. Create scenarios: peak operation, robot stop event, jam recovery and shift handover.
  3. Coach in VR: prompts aligned to your screens, scanners and signage.
  4. Assess: right-first-time, safety behaviours and downtime drivers.

Benefits

  • Fewer incidents and safer interventions.
  • Reduced downtime from consistent recovery steps.
  • Faster onboarding for new staff and contractors.
