One of Northern Ireland’s largest poultry processors
Founded by Murray Bresky in 1992, Murray’s Chicken is a family-owned poultry processor based in South Fallsburg, New York. The company partners with a select number of small family farms in Southeastern Pennsylvania, focusing on animal welfare, sustainability, and premium quality. With deep ties to the local community, Murray’s Chicken is committed to delivering exceptional-tasting poultry while supporting local economies.
Murray’s became an Emydex customer in 2024, following a visit to the BAADER booth at the IPPE tradeshow in Atlanta. Already a BAADER equipment customer, the Murray’s team recognised the value of a tightly integrated solution and selected Emydex’s Electronic Quality Management System (EQMS) to digitise and enhance their quality and compliance processes.
What Murray's Chicken Says
“All information is right at my fingertips. I love it.”
Phil Wise, Plant Manager – Murray’s Chicken
Challenge
Murray’s Chicken was previously managing quality control and traceability with paper-based checklists, requiring manual recording by operators using clipboards. This system delayed decision-making, made real-time analysis impossible, and required significant storage for compliance records.
Audits meant digging through binders, and any deviations or issues were often identified too late to act in real time. The company needed a digital solution to bring speed, accuracy, and traceability to its quality management practices.
Solution
In just six weeks, Murray’s Chicken successfully implemented Emydex’s EQMS on their evisceration processing lines. The system was rolled out in collaboration between Emydex and Murray’s technical team and has since expanded to 16 workflow designs with 5 mobile devices used daily by quality teams.
The platform now enables:
- Digital QC and HACCP checks
- Mobile data capture with tablets on the floor
- Real-time visibility for managers
- Automated alerts for non-conformances
- Custom workflows tailored to specific customer or audit requirements
Emydex also trained the QC Manager to build and customise workflows independently, allowing the team to adapt the system with ease
Outcome
Since implementing Emydex, Murray’s has achieved:
- A reduction in manual errors and duplicated checks
- More efficient audits with centralised digital records Immediate access to quality data from any device
- Improved accountability and traceability across departments
- Real-time corrective actions, saving time and resources
