Agropolychim Shares Its Experience in Production Digitalization at INTEC DAY SOFIA 2026
Agropolychim presented the company’s technological development and the practical application of digital solutions for more efficient management of production processes at INTEC DAY SOFIA 2026 with AVEVA, a technology forum organized by INTEC Digital Solutions in collaboration with AVEVA.
Held under the theme “From Operational Data to Industrial AI,” the event brought together industry representatives, engineers, and technology experts to discuss the role of operational data, digitalization, and artificial intelligence in the development of modern industrial enterprises.
Among the speakers was Pavel Dimitrov, Chief Automation Engineer at Agropolychim, who delivered a presentation titled “Turning 50 Years of Process Knowledge into Operational Intelligence – 7 Years with PI and Beyond.”
In his presentation, he outlined Agropolychim’s journey towards the digitalization of its production processes, shared practical insights gained from using PI System, and highlighted opportunities for further development through advanced analytics technologies.
Seven Years of Experience with PI System
As one of the leading mineral fertilizer producers in the Balkans, Agropolychim operates complex industrial processes that require reliable information, continuous monitoring, and effective coordination across production units.
During his presentation, Pavel Dimitrov highlighted the company’s seven years of experience with PI System, a platform that integrates data from various control systems and enables centralized monitoring and analysis of production processes.
He explained that the system currently covers more than 7,700 active process parameters, while over 150 customized visualizations have been developed to meet the needs of different teams. These tools support the daily activities of production units, maintenance teams, logistics operations, and management.
The practical applications presented included monitoring electricity, water, and steam consumption, analyzing production performance indicators, tracking equipment condition, and generating operational reports.
Modernization and New Opportunities for Development
Particular attention was given to the modernization of Agropolychim’s PI System infrastructure, completed in 2026 in partnership with INTEC Digital Solutions.
The upgrade involved updating core software components and improving the architecture for storing, processing, and visualizing production data. This enhanced technological foundation creates opportunities to expand digital applications and make more effective use of operational data across production activities.
From Production Data to Intelligent Solutions
One of the forum’s key topics was the application of industrial artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to improve operational efficiency.
In this context, Pavel Dimitrov outlined Agropolychim’s future priorities, including reducing unplanned production downtime, improving equipment reliability, and optimizing electricity, water, and steam consumption.
The presentation also explored the potential future implementation of AVEVA Predictive Analytics, a technology designed to support the early detection of equipment performance anomalies and facilitate the transition from reactive to predictive maintenance.
The company is also exploring opportunities to introduce advanced analytics tools that can support data-driven decision-making based on real-time production data.
Sharing Experience and Shaping the Future
INTEC DAY SOFIA 2026 provided a valuable platform for exchanging practical experience among industrial companies, technology specialists, and representatives of AVEVA and INTEC Digital Solutions.
Discussions focused on modern industrial data management solutions, predictive maintenance, resource efficiency, and the application of artificial intelligence in industrial operations.
Through its participation, Agropolychim showcased its consistent approach to digital transformation, combining more than 50 years of industrial expertise with modern technological solutions.
Pavel Dimitrov’s presentation emphasized the importance of digitalization as an integral part of the company’s long-term strategy to enhance production reliability, improve resource efficiency, and support sustainable development.
