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.
