Forresters Chicken Celebrates a Decade of Quality Management with Emydex

A Decade of Quality Management Excellence​

Over the past ten years, Forresters Chicken has leveraged Emydex’s Quality Management system to enhance accuracy, reduce human error, gain real-time insights into quality data, and improve traceability. This collaboration has significantly transformed Forresters Chicken’s operations, ensuring the highest standards of quality and efficiency in their processes.

Meet the Client

Established in 1972, Forresters is one of the largest suppliers of cooked, raw, and coated poultry in the United Kingdom. Based in Cheshire, the company provides retailers, food services, pub retailers, manufacturers, and catering butchers with frozen, chilled branded, and own-label chicken products. To maintain its reputation for high-quality standards, Forresters set out to enhance its quality management processes.

The Opportunity

With a growing client base and increasing production demands, Forresters required a more streamlined and robust approach to quality management. Existing manual quality checks were resource-intensive and prone to human error, especially as production volumes rose. Furthermore, limited real-time access to quality data hindered swift decision-making and posed challenges in meeting regulatory standards.

Forresters needed a comprehensive Quality Management System (QMS) that could automate quality workflows, provide real-time data, and integrate with their ERP system for seamless traceability and compliance tracking. Forresters had been operating an Emydex factory floor MES (Manufacturing Execution System) for production control, yield management and traceability reporting for many years, so it was a straightforward decision to extend our Emydex software footprint to include all of our Quality, Compliance and Food Safety Management processes.

What We Did

Working closely with Forrester’s management, our team worked with Emydex to develop and implement a customised QMS solution that aligned with Forrester’s operational goals. The implementation process was structured in two main phases:

1. Phase One – Digitalising Quality Checks
Forresters began by introducing automated digital checklists across the production floor, replacing paper logs and allowing quality checks to be completed via tablets at each workstation. Data is now collected on tablets running the Emydex Quality system in real-time, and any deviations from standards trigger instant alerts, allowing issues to be addressed immediately.

2. Phase Two – Comprehensive Quality Dashboard
In the next phase, Forresters deployed an Emydex quality system dashboard for management and supervisors, providing a centralised view of quality metrics across production. The dashboard consolidates data on batch compliance, audit trails, incident reporting, and corrective actions. Fully integrated with Forrester’s ERP system, it links directly to purchasing and inventory data, ensuring traceability from raw materials to finished products.

3. Automated Audit and Compliance Reporting
A key feature of the Emydex EQMS is its automated compliance reporting. The system generates real-time, auditable compliance reports accessible from any device, dramatically reducing the time required for internal and external audits. Issues are flagged and assigned for resolution, enhancing accountability across departments.

The Results

Since implementing the Emydex Quality Management system, Forresters has significantly improved operational efficiency and quality compliance.

Enhanced Accuracy and Reduced Human Error: Automated digital checklists have replaced manual entries, reduced errors and ensured consistency in quality checks across all lines.

Real-Time Quality Insights: Managers and supervisors can now view quality metrics instantly, enabling quick decision-making and proactive quality control.

Efficient Compliance Audits: Compliance reporting, which previously required days of preparation, is now generated instantly by Emydex, saving time and resources. Audit readiness has also improved, as records are automatically archived and easily accessible.

Improved Traceability: The QMS enables complete traceability from raw material intake to finished product distribution, facilitating stock rotation and maintaining quality at every stage.

Feedback from Key Stakeholders

Dwayne Chin, Head of Technical at Forresters, noted, “The Emydex QMS has been transformative for our business. Our team no longer spends hours sorting through paper logs; we can spot and address issues immediately. Compliance reporting that once took days is now ready in minutes, giving us more control over quality and peace of mind.”

John Acornley, Finance Director, added, “With the Emydex Quality system in place, Forresters have significantly reduced errors and improved our response times. The Emydex automated alerts keep our team informed, and the dashboard makes it easy to stay on top of production quality. It’s been a huge upgrade.”

Summary

The Emydex Quality Management System implemented at Forresters has streamlined operations and reinforced its commitment to delivering high-quality products to its clients. By enhancing workflows, improving traceability, and enabling instant access to quality data, the QMS has empowered Forresters to meet regulatory standards and confidently scale its operations.

Emydex drives Quality to New Heights at Murray’s Chicken in New York

Implementing Emydex at Murray’s Chicken​

Founded by Murray Bresky in 1992, Murray’s Chicken is dedicated to the local community and delivering top-quality meat. Today, Murray’s chickens are raised in the hills of Southeastern Pennsylvania and processed just over the New York state line in the Catskill Mountain region of Sullivan County. By partnering with a select number of family farms, Murray’s strengthens local economies and supports small farmers, allowing them to focus on producing broilers of exceptional quality and taste. Quality in all aspects is the driving force of the company.

Murray’s Upgrades to Real-Time Quality Control 

When it came to quality control and traceability, Murray’s Chicken used to rely on pen and paper to record production parameters, with employees carrying clipboards to perform checks throughout the day. This manual process often caused delays, making it impossible to implement immediate adjustments if something was off. The plant manager had to locate the person with the paperwork to review checklists before acting, consuming many man-hours and requiring extensive storage for years of data.  

Audits involved sorting through multiple binders, which was time-consuming and cumbersome. While this method complied with regulations, customer demands, and audits, it didn’t enhance the process, and valuable process history could easily get lost. Although outdated, this approach is still typical in many similar plants today. Murray’s sought an electronic quality management system (EQMS), that worked in real-time. Whilst visiting the BAADER booth at the IPPE tradeshow in Atlanta in early 2024, they got introduced to BAADER’s new software partner, Emydex Technology. 

Murray’s primarily buys their factory floor machines from BAADER, and appreciates the synergies with Emydex, which offers a platform to monitor machine performance. They could see benefits in Emydex being tightly integrated with their machine manufacturer. 

Digital Quality Control Replaces Paper Clipboards

Within six weeks of starting the project, Murray’s technical team, in collaboration with Emydex, successfully implemented the Emydex system for quality checks on their first processing lines in the New York factory. The entire Evisceration process is now operational on the Emydex platform. “Only six weeks later, the first devices were out on the floor replacing paper clipboards in the evisceration area”, said Phil Wise, Plant Manager at Murray’s Chicken.

Since then, EQMS has expanded to include sixteen unique workflow designs throughout the facility. There are five QC tablet devices in operation, used by multiple teams completing over one hundred different workflows per day and counting. During this bedding-in period, the Emydex team was on hand to answer questions and provide support as needed, taking Murray’s feedback and incorporating it into the EQMS system to benefit all customers. Next step is to integrate secondary processing and shipping, making the entire process electronic for data capture and reporting on all aspects of QC.

“When it came to training, Emydex made sure to thoroughly teach our QC Manager, not only how to build quality checks, but also to customize them to be exactly how she wanted them to be. Once the initial training was done, it has been pretty easy”, said Phil Wise. “The QC technicians enter the plant with their tablets, get trained, and then it becomes second nature to them. It also benefits me as the plant manager. I spend a lot of time at my computer, and I can see the checks being carried out in real time. This saves me a lot of time as I can see exactly what I want to see, when I want to see it, without having to leave the office and go into the plant to find someone”.

“The QC technicians enter the plant with their tablets, get trained, and then it becomes second nature to them” 

Phil Wise, Plant Manager Murray’s Chicken. 

Saving Time and Reducing Errors

“In terms of the greatest benefit we see from the Emydex system, it is mostly time. Emydex eliminates unnecessary checks by integrating all essential ones into its system. Previously, we were performing checks on our checks, for compliance, for customer requirements, and for internal information. With Emydex we were able to eliminate a lot of these additional checks. Emydex allows us to reassess and gives us more time to focus on compliance and process improvement”.

Furthermore, Emydex creates a better sense of accountability. You can see how long it takes for a technician to do a QC check. It creates more authority over the system. Using pen-and-paper, manual errors happen more often, whereas all data captured via an electronic check is monitored, validated and verified.

From a reporting standpoint, it is also quicker and easier to analyse and graph QC data captured, using Emydex’s BI (Business Intelligence) reporting tool. Trends can easily be extracted, and graphs can be compiled right away. “The Emydex system gives me a sense of security that the data I am looking at is accurate”, said Phil Wise. Phil also commended the alert system within Emydex, where he gets an email right away whenever there is a deviation. “The more you can have that information in real time, the better off you are to decide how to handle the issue. You don’t have to go hunting for the information”. Previously, issues like an excess of broken wings would only be noticed via paper records at the end of the day, necessitating machine adjustments or further investigation the following day.

 

“The new system offers remarkable flexibility. In the past, creating and maintaining paper records was mandatory. Now, by setting alerts for specific criteria within a chosen timeframe, we can cater to particular customer requests. For instance, to prevent potential customer complaints about an excessive number of miscut drumsticks, I could introduce an additional quality control check in the Emydex system and set it to be active for a specified period of time. Once this period is over, the extra check is automatically removed. This system allows such adaptability. When QC personnel go to the floor, they can say, ‘I have a new check to perform; I need to double-check drumstick cases for customer X.’ Implementing these corrective actions helps in continual growth. Once you familiarize yourself with the system, its ease of use becomes apparent”, said Phil.

Instant Access to Quality Data

Murray’s vision is to have the entire plant use Emydex for quality and compliance checks, with the same tablets also being used to access machine manuals, monitor performance, and view product grading images. This would help maintenance and QC work together more effectively, supporting production staff. Maintenance could check vendor quality with QC in real time. For instance, if there were mishaps in the last batch of birds, maintenance could immediately analyse the machine’s performance. “Our bird counter is automated and integrated. When a technician inspects the deboning machine, for example, he should access the history of checks through the system, including KPIs and alerts. There is a lot that the system can do, which is not utilized yet. Especially considering machine performance, which has great potential”, said Phil.

“The Emydex team is easy going and great to work with, they are always available 24/7. I would even go so far as to say they are world-class people to deal with. Emydex understands the process a little bit differently, but this is the beauty of the system: it accommodates Murray’s customer-specific needs”
Phil Wise, Plant Manager Murray’s Chicken.

The system installed at Murray’s Chicken is well-suited for smaller plants that need specialized systems. Over a thousand different product codes, so not everything is standard. The previous system required significant manual effort. With the implementation of Emydex, processes have been standardized, enhancing accountability and traceability. “All information is right at my fingertips. I love it”, said Phil Wise.

Don’t wait! Embrace the future of quality management with electronic quality management software.

Forresters takes off

How a family business scaled up to become an industry powerhouse

When independent, family-owned business Forresters wanted to take the business to the next level, they turned to Emydex and we were with them every step of the way.

Meet the client

Established in 1972 and based in Cheshire, Forresters is one of the largest suppliers of cooked, raw and coated poultry in the United Kingdom. The company supplies retailers, food services, pub retailers, manufacturers and catering butchers with a variety of frozen and chilled branded and own label chicken products.

The opportunity

Forresters had the expertise, the market and the reputation to help them to take the business to the next level. The issue was with operations and one of the biggest hurdles was the fact that their existing production and billing systems were built in-house and not integrated to their back-office ERP system. In practical terms, the production lines couldn’t handle any more as they were currently configured.

Maintaining and updating the systems was costly with little support, resulting in an over-reliance on a few key individuals. In addition, Forrester’s was unable to report in real-time on their daily production, stocks, traceability, yields and costs.

What we did

Forresters managers and Emydex specialists worked closely together to work out how to blend the best technology with the company’s own expertise to create an operation that could upscale as needed. Forresters commissioned Emydex to develop a production management and traceability reporting system which would operate on the shop floor and in the back-office for data maintenance, analysis, trending and reporting.

We began with phase one which was the installation of our packing and processing module on a dozen shop floor weigh-price labelling packing terminals. The Emydex weighing and labelling software system for finished products features easy-to-use label design, compliant with all EU regulations.

With that up and running we moved on to phase two which covered the roll-out of a factory-wide solution that covered the entire line. It was designed to give full traceability from start to finish, from intake of the raw material by purchase order, defrosting, cooking, production work orders, marination, packing, analysis by retail line, full stock, yield and dispatch control and then on to Sage 200 accounts for invoicing.

Vision System

A part of the project which was not in the original scope was the introduction of a Keyence vision system and barcode reader, that we fully integrated into Forresters’ Emydex solution. The Emydex software communicates with the Keyence vision and barcode reader, automatically checking for the correct batch number, use by date, product code, label layout / structure and barcodes on packs as they move down the packing line. If they are as they should be, the system triggers the printing of the correct box label for the product, rather than requiring the operator to press a button to print it. If either the label or barcode is incorrect, the Emydex system lets the operator know. The benefits of this system include more accurate product labelling, with less errors and potential recalls.

The results

This system is now live on the factory floor, door-to-door including all of Forresters fixed weight lines. The biggest and most immediate benefit of the new Emydex system is the reduction of manual input which has eliminated the risk of human error. Packing is now fully automated and labels are printed automatically when the correct number and type of packs are in the box, saving time, resources and money.

Forresters now has complete visibility over their entire production management process. They are no longer reliant on key individuals to manage in-house systems and they have a full support team on hand should any issues arise.

Most importantly, the Emydex system provides management and supervisors with real-time and accurate reporting on factory stocks, production, as well full traceability reports.

Profitability is up, human error has been eliminated and the factory has scaled up as a direct result of the improvements in efficiency and production brought about by the Emydex solution.

Commenting shortly after go-live Heidi Dilliway-Nickson, Director with Forresters said “the Emydex system is very efficient, easy to operate and works well for us. The full traceability we have gained saves masses of time - what used to take the QA department days to analyse is now instant. Emydex never say they can’t do something: they’ll listen and go away and come back with an answer, they always find a way.”

John Acornley, Finance Manager with Forresters added “We packed over one million packs last week and we have thirteen production lines where we used to have two: the company has expanded massively, and we couldn’t have done it without the Emydex system in place. It helps us to drill into products and see what’s happening in real-time, following every chicken through every step and that means stock rotation is perfect, quality is perfect. That means we can see issues and potential problems and react before they have an impact. The savings in time and paperwork alone have made it all worthwhile and the traceability reporting is brilliant – we can make important decisions on the fly. QMS is coming soon and will replace the last troublesome bits of paperwork in the factory.”

What’s next?

Next comes the QMS system and rolling out the solution to the factory’s remaining multi-pack lines.

Rosie & Jim Value Added Poultry Processor live on Emydex

Dublin – Ireland:
Rosie and Jim was established in 1997 when award winning craft butcher, Jimmy McLoughlin established Quality First Ltd and began producing gourmet chicken products for supply to butcher shops and restaurants. Today the company produces a wide range of premium quality, ready-to-cook gluten free breaded and battered chicken products.  They also produce a variety of delicious filled wraps.  All products are available chilled or frozen.

Order Control

Rosie and Jim approached Emydex in 2016 with a view to implementing a factory-wide Production Control and Traceability Reporting IT system door-to-door. The company had no existing factory floor IT system in place, operating manual processes instead, which meant excessive recording of internal processes manually on paper, which was both laborious and time-consuming, and offered little by way of real-time production control and traceability reporting.

The company had no real insight into the quantity or value of their existing stocks, resulting in procurement planning issues. Unsure of what current stocks were available to fulfil production orders, often resulted in over-ordering of stock, and the holding of excess stock of raw materials, dry goods and ingredients on-site than was needed.

Recipe Formulation

Another issue Rosie and Jim faced from their manual process was knowing how much each production batch cost to produce. Without knowing the precise amount of raw materials and ingredients going into each production batch, and without knowing the exact value of that stock, it was impossible to accurately calculate profit/loss and production yields.

Emydex’s Recipe Formulation Software system means that now, every item is scanned and weighed into a production job in the correct quantities. The system allows Rosie & Jim to track and record every item right down to the smallest measurement that was used in a production job. By doing this, Emydex determines the value of items used in production batches, allowing the system to calculate the cost of each production batch.

Real-Time Traceability Reporting

At Intake, Emydex allocates an internal traceability number (ITN) to each batch of supplier goods received, and the goods are labelled with barcodes and stored. From this point forward, the goods are tracked and traced by factory operators using hand-held scanning terminals, throughout the different stages of production, up to the point of sales order picking and dispatch, This allows for real-time traceability reporting throughout the plant, both for forward trace reporting from suppliers to end-customers, as well as backwards.

Sage Integration

Prior to go-live, Emydex was tightly integrated with Rosie & Jim’s existing Sage 200 accounting system, with Purchase Orders and Sales Orders pulled down from stage, and well as production data sent back to Sage for invoicing of customers and supplier payments.

Go-live

“We started using Emydex on the floor in two separate stages. First, we launched Emydex on our breading line while still using test data. This included the recipe blending and packing. By the end of the first week most of the production team using the system were already comfortable with using it. You could visibly see them speeding up when going through the individual screens.  

We also started to receive goods in from Intake onto the system. This has been simplest of part of the implementation. We soon after went live proper on the 1st of April. We first implemented Emydex on our mixes & tortilla line and began to pick our sales orders via the hand-held scanners. Overall, I feel the project was a successful implementation, and the new system has been well received by our production team, operators and supervisors, better than I could have expected”.

Peter Turner, Financial Controller with Rosie & Jim

Production Reporting

Rosie and Jim now have a comprehensive reporting structure on all aspects of their production processes. The Emydex back-office reporting module provides the company with a number of different views over their cost/value figures including Real-time stock inventory and valuation, Production costing, Production costing variances, Product usage reports, production yield reports and product giveaway reports.

Emydex also worked with Rosie and Jim to develop additional reports such as Production & packing time efficiency reports and daily stock movement reports.

“From a reporting side, by the end of the first week, our production manager and I started to see proper results with regards to yields, packing volumes and stock control. I would like to thank the Emydex team as they really helped, not only with the actual development but also with suggesting practical solutions to suit our processes e.g. line-side management.”

Emydex Live in World’s Largest Ostrich Processor

OUDTSHOORN – SOUTH AFRICA:

World’s Largest Ostrich Processor

Established in 1985, Klein Karoo is the world’s largest Ostrich processor, producing 65% of all Ostrich related products found on international markets. Klein Karoo represents more than 800 local farmer members, and produces ostrich meat, leather and feathers. Klein Karoo supplies Ostrich (Poultry) meat, including the famous ‘fan fillet’ to the local South African market, as well as to a growing number of export markets including the UK, Denmark and Sweden where Klein Karoo’s pre-grilled Ostrich meat is today available in five of the largest retailers in Europe.

With its head-quarters in the town of Oudtshoorn, located on the garden route in South Africa, the company operates a large number of processing factories in the region including three separate Ostrich Slaughter and deboning plants located in Oudtshoorn, Graaff-Reinet and Swellendam, as well as a number of other processing facilities including value-added processing, pet treat, pre-grill and Biltong processing operations.

Working in conjunction with a South African Industrial Engineering Company (iPlan Global), Klein Karoo invited Emydex to tender in July 2015, for a factory floor software solution to replace their existing production control systems that were deemed to be end-of-life. Klein Karoo sought to adopt a “leapfrog” strategy in the selection of their new software system i.e., a technological solution appropriate for 2016 and beyond. They also requested a centralised enterprise system in order to maintain one “single version of the truth”. Finally, the system they sought needed to be agile and flexible so as to allow for scale and speed to incorporate business change such as acquisitions.

Kill Line Software Live in Three Plants

Following a thorough tender process, including a project discovery and scoping exercise in South Africa, Emydex were awarded the Klein Karoo contract in January 2016. A team of Emydex developers working remotely from Dublin in close collaboration with Klein Karoo in South Africa, commissioned and configured Emydex software systems for Klein Karoo’s three Abattoir operations, boning halls and value added operations for both Local and Export Markets. A team of Emydex Senior software engineers implemented Emydex systems into the groups three plants over the Summer months of 2016, such that by the end of August all Emydex systems were live and in operation across all processing plants, without any major issues. In tandem, Emydex integrated with Klein Karoo’s new back-office ERP system, Syspro, that was implemented in parallel by iPlan Global.

Commenting on the system go-lives Karoo’s project manager said “The operators at both Graaff-Reinet and Swellendam had a positive experience with Emydex following go-live, and the general consensus is that Emydex seems much simpler and faster to use than their current system. Also taking into account the fact that the users at Swellendam saw the screens for the first time on the morning of go-live, and had no major issues transacting. So overall a positive experience from an end-user’s perspective. The Emydex developers were very helpful during their visit and didn’t shy away from finding on-site solutions or the long hours.”

Full Traceability Reporting

Commenting on the perceived benefits for the business following the system go-live, Cobus Pretorius, Production & logistics Co-Ordinator with Klein Karoo said “The Emydex program interface is really user friendly, and makes navigating through the system very easy, and also the filtering option on all Emydex client screens, make lookups quick and easy. The suite of full traceability reports are easy to navigate, and will save us a lot of time. In addition, the fact that all information and reporting can be extracted to Excel also has a lot of benefits for our business.” Commented Pretorius

He went on to add “from a Warehousing perspective the full scanning throughout the Emydex system is a big step forward for our company, we can already see the huge benefits this gives us in terms of proper stock control. Also by fully integrating with our new financial system, Emydex has eliminated all the work that we had to manually duplicate before. Naturally the human error with regards to these manual duplicated transactions has also been removed.

The automatic integration between our Graaff Reinet & Swellendam plants in terms of carcass shipments to our primary processing facility in Oudtshoorn has also saved us a lot of time and trouble. Lastly, the way labels are set up, and the ability we have to change them with little or no input from Emydex, as well as the fact that we can preview the labels before we have to actually print, is something that I rate as one of my top three system improvements!”

Recipe Formulation Software

“Finally, the Emydex Recipe system, which is something new to Klein Karoo, works really well and we can see that it actually gives the factory workers a sense of pride in actually “measuring” what they are doing and not just blindly mixing bathes. This also ensures that the correct products are used in the correct quantities for all the recipes. The last benefit I would add is that having the ability to be able to trouble-shoot quickly by being able to connect to the actual floor pc’s have made life much easier!” added Cobus Pretorius.

Reflecting on the project’s success, Charl du Plessis, Managing Director of Klein Karoo International said “to incorporate Emydex slaughter, de-boning and recipe functionality into a single business entity in such a short time-frame was great achievement in my opinion”. David McMahon, Emydex CEO added “the Klein Karoo project was definitely one of the most ambitious and potentially challenging projects we have ever had to tackle. The fact that the go-lives went so smoothly, over the various project phases coming in quick succession over the Summer, is down to the hard work and many months of preparation and testing invested by Klein Karoo, iPlan and Emydex working in partnership as a unified team”.

Allergen Labelling, upgrade to an Emydex Traceability system.

New EU Food Allergen Labeling Regulation

By December 13th 2014 all food labels in EU must identify allergens to comply with the European directive 1169/2011. The goal of the directive is to provide greater clarity to consumers on ingredients, nutrition and allergens. Manufacturers, retailers and food service operators need to clearly highlight food allergens within the ingredients list.

The EU directive 1169/2011 at a glance

Scope of the new regulation

  • Mandatory nutrition information on processed foods;
  • Mandatory origin labelling of unprocessed meat from beef, sheep, pigs and poultry;
  • Highlighting allergens e.g. peanuts or milk in the list of ingredients;
  • Better legibility i.e. minimum size of text: letter x height needs to be at least 1.2mm
  • Requirements on information on allergens also cover non pre-packed foods including those sold in restaurants and cafés.

The 14 substances and products that cause allergies or intolerances

  • Cereals containing Gluten
  • Celery
  • Crustaceans
  • Eggs
  • Fish
  • Nuts
  • Lupin
  • Milk
  • Molluscs
  • Mustard
  • Peanuts
  • Soybean
  • Sesame Seeds
  • Sulphur dioxide and Sulphites

This can be achieved using an Emydex Traceability labelling software system integrated with Nice Labels.

No longer do you need to define separate label templates for each product with fixed ingredient text. Emydex allows you to minimize the number of label templates required by allowing ingredient text to be stored as a variable against each product. The user will identify the allergens in the ingredient text and highlight them in bold text.

Mandatory origin labelling is accomplished by the traceability infrastructure inherent within the Emydex system. Country of Origin (and other traceability data) is recorded at Intake against an Internal Traceability Number (ITN). This ITN number then follows the products through the plant to the labelling process where the country of origin is extracted for printing on the label. When the traceability chain within the Emydex system is not complete (e.g. not full installations), the Country of origin can be selected from a drop down list at the labelling stations.
