Key topics and new products
The industry of ready meals. Taking into account the growing consumer demand for ready meals, we have launched a large-scale project called Ready-to-Eat Food Factory. It welcomed 109 companies, which presented equipment and ingredients for this segment. The topic was continued with the Forum on Strategic Challenges of Agribusiness: Ready-to-Eat Food, and the new Contract Expo business meeting programme, designed to help purchasers of retail chains and industries to select relevant equipment and technological solutions.
Automation and robotics. The show presented robotic complexes, collaborative robots, machine vision systems, automated packaging and warehouse solutions, software and hardware complexes for production management. The integration of such equipment is aimed at compensating for personnel shortages, increasing productivity, and ensuring quality consistency in production.
The visitors could evaluate the equipment in operation, compare samples from different manufacturers, and choose the best solutions from a line to a machine, unit or part.
Solutions for small and medium businesses. The exhibits included compact mini-workshops for processing meat, poultry, fish, vegetables, fruit, milk, cereals, as well as mini-wineries. This format allows small farms to process raw materials independently, increasing the profitability of their business.
