Interfrigo Case Study

3PL
Northern Ireland

The largest independent cold store in Northern Ireland

3PL Industry
The UK | Europe
Single-Site

Interfrigo is the largest independent cold store in Northern Ireland, operating a 136,000 sq ft state-of-the-art cold store with storage capacity for 20,000 pallets.

Interfrigo provides third party cold storage for a number of local and international food producers, including many of Emydex’s food processing customers. With Emydex’s ‘Intersite-transfers’ feature, Interfrigo customers also running Emydex are able to dispatch and trace shipments into and out of the Interfrigo Cold Store seamlessly.

Once goods are received into Interfrigo, they are verified, put-away, picked and dispatched all via Emydex, with the ability to break-down and rebuild pallets to fulfill sales orders as required. Emydex software is also running on truck-mounted terminals in all Interfrigo’s fork-lifts.

Following on from the original implementation, Legislative and Customer driven demands have been introduced requiring the management and reporting of food allergens contained within any food products stored in the Cold Storage facilities. Emydex have further extended their warehousing system to capture and report on the details of any specific allergens contained within every product stored on behalf of Interfrigo customers.

Emdyex Client Logo Interfrigo
What Interfrigo Says

“As we manage stock on behalf of some large Food Processing companies who also operate Emydex’s Production Management systems in their factories, it made sense for Interfrigo to replace our existing legacy WMS with Emydex’s Warehouse Management system... It provides us with real-time links to our customers who use Emydex. The benefit of this is the ability to manage stock transfers and sales order picking requests instantly.”

 

Brendan McAlonan, Operations Manager, Interfrigo

Challenge

  • Restrictive WMS in place
  • Little flexibility to make changes
  • Little flexibility to add reports
  • Manual Traceability reporting
  • No box level traceability
  • Manual stock control and stock reconciliation processes
  • Requirement to integrate customers

Solution

Outcome

  • Full Stock Management, Intake, Put-away, Sales Order Picking & Dispatch control
  • Full box-level Traceability
  • E-Transfer integration to Dunbia, Ballymena and Moy Park, Ballymena
  • Invoicing & Fork lift terminals
  • Flat file integration to other customers

Dawn Meats Case Study

Beef, Lamb, Pork & 3PL
Ireland, the UK & France

Ireland's largest red meat processor

Beef, Lamb, Pork & 3PL
Europe
Multi-Site

Dawn Meats is a family-owned business that was established in Waterford, Ireland in 1980 and has grown to become one of the largest and most important beef and sheep processing groups in the industry. The group employs over 7,000 people in dozens of countries, including 10 sites in Ireland and 12 in the UK, exporting to over 50 countries worldwide.

Every year, Dawn Meats processes over 1 million cattle and 3 million sheep, generating more than €2 billion in turnover for the company and contributing over €1.67 billion to rural economies through 30,000 farms in Ireland and the UK.

The numbers are staggering and so is their success.

Emdyex Client Logo Dawnmeats
What Dawn Meats Had To Say
“Working with Emydex has been great – they understand their system and have been very helpful. Emydex created a system for support that includes excellent on-going communication. We have worked with them over the past decade on traceability, and so we trusted them. I like how their QMS system is so flexible, and how they could configure it to how we wanted to work – not something you get with an out-of-the-box solution. That flexibility meant that we were given artistic license as to how to develop our own workflows.”

 

John Coleman, Dawn Group Food Safety and Quality Manager

Challenge

Dawn Meats developed their own in-house quality management system which largely relied upon manual, paper-based checks all along their factory floors.

While this was rigorous and helped to maintain the very highest levels of quality products for the company, it was inefficient, creating delays, tons of paper, hours of data entry and leaving the door open for error. The old manual way of working involved lengthy printing, handing out, filling in, returning, checking, countersigning and storage of paper records. On top of that, files had to be physically retrieved in the event of audit.

Since 2013, Emydex have being developing their Quality Management System capable of being used in single site as well as across multi-site Group processors like Dawn Meats. Emydex’s Enterprise Quality Management System (EQMS) is, in short, a software system that allows food processors carry out their factory and supplier quality and audit checks on tablets, reporting instantly in the back-office, replacing all paper-based quality check sheets on the factory floor.

A perfect fit for Dawn Meats.

Solution

There were five main drivers behind Dawn Meats decision to select Emydex 

The first was Emydex gave them a single system, with our quality module sitting alongside all other Emydex factory floor Production or Warehousing modules on a common platform.

Next, our solution can be fully integrated to shop floor industrial machinery, capable of scanning barcodes, meaning no manual keying of data needed.

Thirdly, the Emydex EQMS system can be installed on-premise or in the cloud. Emydex don’t force customers to operate their QMS out of the cloud, they can install on-prem if required.

Another key differentiator is the system can work off-line as well as on-line for all compatible mobile devices, using local databases. Meaning operators can switch to off-line mode when capturing quality data in areas with poor or zero wi-fi coverage.

Finally, the system is very configurable in-house including an easy to use QC workflow builder tool. This function allows in-house QC personnel (non-IT people) to design and build their own Quality workflows in-house, including QC surveys, QC check-sheets and quality audits, without the need to involve either Emydex developers or their internal IT department.

Outcome

Emydex EQMS helps Dawn Meats to streamline the QMS processes across their factories and to ensure they are working to the most effective QMS system. As it standardises the QMS and FSM systems across the group it improves compliance and shares best practice throughout all of the facilities.

Using the Document Management System included within the system, sites can share generic documents and processes, and tailor the specifics to the site. This reduces time lost in writing up documents and figuring out procedures and risk assessments.

The system creates actions, alerts, notifications and alarms in real time and automatically tells them when they are out of compliance, forcing the immediate implementation of corrective actions.

It improves compliance and reduces issues in announced and unannounced audits, reducing risk with defective product, product recalls and customer satisfaction.

The Emydex system frees up resources to drive product quality improvements and also frees up archive space and storage. It will give central management a holistic view through instant visibility of all factories in one centralised system, making KPI reporting easier and that maximises safety, quality and compliance.

Finally, this accurate QMS data can drive operational processes and business decisions, helping continuous improvement by providing instant effect data.
