    The water packaging industry faces the challenge of reducing human errors and optimizing training times. This study proposes immersive virtual reality as an innovative solution to address this problem. By immersing workers in realistic simulations of the production line, virtual reality (VR) allows them to practice critical tasks in a safe and controlled environment, reducing the risk of accidents and improving efficiency. A VR environment was developed with Unity3D software in which an interface was created through three-dimensional designs and environments compatible with Oculus Quest 2 glasses based on the instructions of the 500 BPH water packaging production line, accurately replicating the water packaging production process. The usability of the simulation was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS), ensuring optimal learning for the staff. The effectiveness of the system was measured using the T-Student test for independent samples with IBM SPSS software, comparing the efficiency and knowledge retention of the participants. The study revealed a significant advance in staff learning and knowledge retention through the use of VR, achieving 94% correct answers compared to 61% achieved through traditional methods. These differences were statistically significant, validating the first hypothesis and confirming the superiority of the VR system. Furthermore, the SUS returned a score of 72.85, indicating a high acceptance of the system. This virtual environment not only facilitates the acquisition of skills and knowledge more effectively and efficiently, but also promotes active user participation, optimizing the training process.
