\r\nWhen Danish Crown approached Emydex about designing and implementing a kill line system on a pilot basis for their plant in H\u00f6rby, naturally we were very interested in talking to them.<\/p>\r\n
After all, Danish Crown is one of Europe\u2019s largest meat processing companies and the world\u2019s largest pork exporter. As a group it is involved in a long list of other food products with subsidiaries that include a number of very well-known names in the industry: Friland, KLS Ugglarps, Scan-Hide, Tulip Food Company, Tulip Ltd (UK), Sokolow, Dat-Schaub, ESS-FOOD and WestCrown.<\/p>\r\n
Danish Crown was established in 1887 by Denmark\u2019s first co-operative meat company and today has market access to more than 130 countries around the world. It has sites spread across 10 countries in mainland Europe, the UK and most recently China. Working with this blue-chip organisation presented a great opportunity for Emydex.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n

Henrik Fr\u00f8sig, Director, Solutions & Innovation, Global IT, Danish Crown<\/em><\/p>\r\n A challenge for Danish Crown was that through acquisition of processing plants around the globe, their factories use various software solutions of different origin and version, which were difficult to for their Global IT team to manage, as they weren\u2019t integrated, and so some factories were not running as efficiently as they could be.<\/p>\r\n We assembled a project team of Emydex solution engineers and managers working in Dublin and Danish Crown\u2019s central IT team working in Denmark and they collaborated to commission and configure a state-of-the-art Emydex software solution for the H\u00f6rby plant.<\/p>\r\n The new system featured a number of Emydex modules including Beef and Lamb Kill Line, Primary Packing and Processing, Yield Reporting, Carcass Management and Order Processing\/ ERP Integration.<\/p>\r\n One of the more important elements we had to include was integrating with the Swedish Central Animal Database (CDB) which enables files sent by the government listing every live beef animal to be imported into Emydex. When animals are entered at the stables as they arrive at the factory, their ear tags can be validated against the central database.<\/p>\r\n H\u00f6rby now has a robust factory floor solution and the most immediate result has been increased productivity for KLS Ugglarps and Danish Crown.<\/p>\r\n \u201cWith the new Emydex system one of the added benefits is that it enables vet inspections all along the kill line in real-time. Hide processing has increased visibility and carcass intake is smoother via ASN or parse barcodes which eliminates onerous data entry\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said\u00a0Shane Hayes<\/strong>, Business Analyst\/Technical Sales with Emydex<\/p>\r\n\r\n\t\tChallenge\r\n\t<\/h3>\r\n\t
