Who it is for
Meat and poultry processors
Modules run from livestock booking and the kill line through boning halls and packing to dispatch, with individual-cut traceability.
Fish and seafood processors
Emydex has a seafood industry page and built a system for Irish fish processors with the Irish fisheries board.
Fresh produce and further processing plants
The vendor says the software, designed for meat, also suits fruit and vegetable intake, yield reporting and packing.
Medium and large processors with IT staff
Configuration tools let a customer's own IT team change screens, reports and labels; smaller processors get the same work done by Emydex staff.
What it does
Core platform (data collection and data management)
Collects data at control points on the factory floor and handles processing, exchange, reporting and configuration.
Kill line and animal payments
Livestock bookings, kill agendas, vet inspection, weighbridge integration, animal payments and links to government animal-tracing databases.
Packing and processing
Boning hall, filleting and cutting plant software with pack-to-stock or pack-to-order and palletising.
Yields and costings
Automatic yield calculations and margin analysis.
Recipe formulation
Recipe bills of materials with tolerances, batch planning, blending, labelling and traceability of raw materials into blends.
Production planning
Planners see stock, future purchases and sales together and produce work orders sent to the shop floor system.
Warehouse management
Palletising, put-away, picking, stock takes, container loading and stock transfers using hand-held scanners, with FIFO picking advice.
Traceability reporting
Forwards, backwards, batch and time-bound traceability to reduce the size of recalls, with GS1 and individual-cut options.
Quality and compliance
Electronic quality checks with workflows, actions console, document control and offline capture, supporting HACCP, BRC and ISO systems.
Emydex BI
Web and desktop dashboards and reports that combine data from Emydex, ERP and other manufacturing systems.
Business logic customisation layer
A customer-specific layer holds configuration and code changes so the standard modules can be adapted to how a plant works.
Systems integration
Links to ERP, time and attendance, supplier systems, weighing scales, label printers and legacy factory-floor systems.
