Aquascot

1st August 2020

Aquascot Case Study

 

Fish Processing
Inverness, Scotland

A fish processing unit capturing accurate yield data

Seafood Industry
Scotland | Europe
Single-Site

Aquascot is an employee-owned business dedicated to supplying fish to Waitrose, Ocado and companies that supply Waitrose.

The Aquascot story began in 1987. The business was built on high-quality food farmed in the sea.

By 2000 an integrated organization had developed with fresh and saltwater farms, processing plants and an international customer base.

The company was sold to a large multi-national feed and farming business.

In 2003 dedicated individuals regained the Aquascot name and the processing plant in Alness, near Inverness.

In 2008 Aquascot embarked on a journey to become an employee-owned.

What Aquascot Say
"We are unanimous in our view that Emydex is our preferred vendor. We are confident that your software can do most (if not all) of what we need, and crucially, we feel that Emydex the company is a good fit for Aquascot. We are well aware that we are not just purchasing software, we are committing to a long term relationship, and we came out of the meeting convinced that the two companies can work well together. Inevitably, we will discover things about the software that don't quite meet our needs, but you gave us confidence that you'd be willing to accommodate that, and discuss the best way forward for both parties"

 

Chris Hadley, Project Manager, Aquascot

Challenge

  • Main dedicated supplier of salmon and sea-grown trout to Waitrose in the UK
  • Three existing systems, not integrated, lots of paper
  • No real-time reporting
  • No accurate Stocks
  • No visibility on Yields & Production

Moy Park

Moy Park Case Study

Poultry
Northern Ireland

One of Northern Ireland’s largest poultry processors

Poultry Industry
UK | Europe
Single-Site

Moy Park is one of Northern Ireland’s largest poultry processors. Founded in 1932 as O'Kane Poultry, the group operates two hatcheries, a feed mill and a processing plant in Ballymena covering both chicken and turkey production. The company employs over 1,500 people and produces over 500 different product lines.

Moy Park has been an Emydex customer since 2009 when Emydex began work on a pilot project to provide the company with areal-time warehouse management and dispatch system, with full traceability. The project was later extended to deliver both the Emydex Packing Management and Yields and Costings modules sitting on the underlying Emydex Data Management platform.

Some points of interest in this project from an Emydex perspective are:

  • How Emydex was able to seamlessly integrate a variety of in-house legacy systems
  • The full extent of functionality provided
  • The extent of system usage by Moy Park, e.g. stock take and dispatch and management reporting that might traditionally be handled by an ERP
Emdyex Client Logo Moy Park
What Moy Park Says

“Emydex have been able to develop and implement seamless, efficient and innovative solutions into a fairly complex production environment.

"Their experience in food production and traceability adds another level to systems design, bringing additional ideas and concepts. They're willing to understand existing processes and design systems to fully integrate with them.”

 

Paul Johnston, Finance Director, Moy Park

Challenge

  • Many in-house/legacy systems
  • No accurate handle on Stock levels
  • High volume of transactions necessary to dispatch product to end customers
  • Fresh, Processed and Coated Poultry Products

Solution

emydex-customer-moy-park

Outcome

  • Production to Work Order
  • Scan any/all products to all lines
  • Accurate Yield Control/give-away by line
  • Stock Intake, Put-way, Palletising, Picking and Dispatch
  • Accurate Stock Control & Reconciliation
  • 3rd party cold storage integration (real time, box level, bi-direction)

Interfrigo

5th June 2020

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

emydex-customer-interfrigo-ni

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
  • Flexible reporting & system changes
  • Allergen control reporting

Forresters Poultry Case Study

Poultry & Processing
The UK

A leading UK supplier of cooked and raw poultry

Poultry & Processing
The UK | Europe
Single-Site

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.

Emdyex-Client-Logo-Forresters
Working with Emydex

“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.”

Heidi Dilliway-Nickson, Director with Forresters

Challenge

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.

Solution

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.

Outcome

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.
