VR training for steel manufacturing — coke oven, pot leakage, hot work.
Drona VR for steel manufacturing replicates the high-stakes work of an integrated plant — coke oven SOPs, pot leakage protocols, hot work, electrical safety, LOTO. Built by VB Group with on-site EHS expertise. Trusted at a leading Indian integrated steel manufacturer.
Coke ovens. Live electrical panels. Molten metal pots. Classroom training does not build the reflex this work demands.
Integrated steel plants run the most hazardous work in industrial manufacturing. Most plants train operators on paper SOPs and one-time classroom sessions. The incident log shows the result.
Coke oven SOPs are too dangerous to rehearse on the line.
New operators cannot practice gas release procedures or coke push sequences without real risk. The first time they perform it for real is the first time they perform it.
Pot leakage training cannot use real molten metal.
Detection, response, and evacuation drills happen in classrooms with diagrams. Reflex requires immersive rehearsal — Drona builds that.
Electrical safety has the highest near-miss rate.
Live panel work is the single most cited near-miss category in DGMS audit findings. Classroom training has not changed the trend in two decades.
Work at height incidents drive insurance premiums.
Falls from steel structures, scaffolding, and pipe racks are the top non-fatal incident category. Most plants train annually; reflex requires monthly.
Aligned with the standards your auditors check.
Every Drona VR steel manufacturing module maps to the regulatory frameworks that govern your plant. Documentation is automatic, audit-ready, exportable.

6 modules, engineered for steel manufacturing plants.
Every module is ≤15 minutes, runs offline on the headset, and is engineered for eye health. Trainer cast view streams live to your EHS lead's screen.
Numbers from steel deployments.
Representative outcomes from Drona VR deployments in steel manufacturing. Specific numbers vary by plant and module.
The conversations we hear in every Steel EHS office.
Our deviation log shows the same gowning errors quarter after quarter. Classroom training is not changing reflex.
In evaluation, our operators completed every SOP step. Not a single step skipped.
Our plant insurance broker started asking what we had done differently this year. The Drona deployment was the only change.
We tried generic VR safety training in 2022. Operators dismissed it as a game. The Drona content replicates our actual permit format. They take it seriously.
