The challenge

Calibration accuracy varied across sites. New technicians took months to ramp.

// CUSTOMER

Indian seed manufacturer

Indian seed manufacturer with operations across multiple processing facilities.

Calibration accuracy varied site to site, technician to technician. Onboarding new technicians took months of shadowing. Quality control flagged the gap.

The Drona solution

Module deployed: Seed Calibration.

Drona VR Seed Calibration module replicated the customer's exact calibration SOP — sample preparation, machine setup, QC checkpoints. Standardised across sites.

Implementation

Deployment timeline.

Week 1–2

SOP mapping

Calibration SOP mapped — sample prep through QC.

Week 3–4

Module build

Site-agnostic module configured to standard SOP.

Week 5–6

Pilot site

Pilot at lead site, technician onboarding cycle.

Week 7+

Multi-site

Headset rotation across sites. Standardised onboarding.

Results

Numbers from 90 days post-deployment.

~33%

Calibration errors.

Cross-site calibration error rate fell ~33% in first quarter.

2.5x

Onboarding speed.

New technician time-to-competency improved 2.5x.

ISTA

Aligned.

Module aligned with International Seed Testing Association protocols.

Standard

Cross-site standardisation.

Calibration approach standardised across all processing sites.

Cross-site variability was our quietest QC problem. Drona standardised calibration in one quarter.

Lessons

Three takeaways from this deployment.

// LESSON 01

Standardisation is a VR strength.

Multi-site operations benefit most from a single source of truth. VR provides it.

// LESSON 02

Niche modules pay off.

Vertical-specific modules like seed calibration deliver high ROI in their narrow segment.

// LESSON 03

Cross-site rotation works.

A small fleet of headsets rotated across sites was sufficient for steady-state training.

Train agriculture & seeds for the work where mistakes are audit findings.
