AgriFood Matchmaking Event on April 15: solutions for automation and digitalization in the agri-food industry

On April 15, the AgriFood Matchmaking Event will take place online, bringing together agri-food companies with integrators and engineering firms from Ukraine. The Viravix team will also participate and share practical experience in working with production processes.

📅 Date: April 15

🕒 Time: 15:00 – 17:00

💻 Format: online

About the event

Automation and digitalization in the agri-food sector have become key factors for business competitiveness. At the same time, companies often face challenges:

• difficulty finding relevant technological solutions
• challenges in evaluating their effectiveness
• even greater difficulty adapting them to specific production needs

The AgriFood Matchmaking Event is designed to bridge the gap between available technologies and real business needs.

The event format focuses on practical interaction:

• solution presentations from integrators
• thematic discussions in small groups
• direct networking opportunities for future cooperation

Participants will be able to:

• receive solutions tailored to their business challenges
• explore available technologies
• discuss pilot project implementation
• learn about funding opportunities (grants, co-financing)

What Viravix will present

At the event, we will cover a practical topic:

How to reduce production losses and turn data into results

A typical challenge in production

In processes involving heating, drying, or cooling, companies lose a significant amount of:

• energy
• water
• production time

Even after implementing monitoring systems, a common situation remains:

data is available — but it is unclear where losses occur and how to act on them

Additionally:

• performance depends heavily on operators
• results vary between shifts
• there is no structured response process

Our approach

Viravix works with production processes in a comprehensive way — combining engineering expertise with digital tools:

• 🔍 Process and energy balance analysis — to identify real losses
• 📊 Monitoring implementation (QiVisor) — control of key process points
• 🤖 Digital assistant FlowQeeper (Telegram / MS Teams) — real-time guidance for operators
• ⚙️ Structured deviation response process — ensuring data leads to action

Practical case

Currently, the Viravix team is implementing a project at a large processing facility, focused on:

• reducing downtime
• improving production line efficiency
• leveraging data through engineering analysis

Results

In the food and meat processing industry, this approach enables:

• ⚡ up to –20% energy consumption
• 💧 up to –25% water usage
• ⏱ up to –50% downtime

Who should attend

The event will be useful for:

• agricultural producers
• processing companies
• logistics and grain storage businesses
• food industry enterprises
• small and medium-sized agri-food businesses

The event is organized with the support of the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) in Ukraine.
