Emydex 20 years – Central Agri Group

Central Agri Group

Eurofarm Foods - Beef Industry

Beef Primal Processor
1 Plant in Victoria, Australia

Emydex customer from 2016 – 2024 (8 years)

“In 2016 Central Agri Group re-opened a newly refurbished beef plant in Trafalgar, trading as Victoria Valley Meat Exports. This is a state of the art, fully integrated, beef processing plant in Victoria, Australia. The Emydex kill line system went live shortly after opening, running on data capture computers including an NLIS scanning station that checks the animal status in real -time against the NLIS database through to Dentition, Carcass defect and Weigh-Grading stations. ​

​The Emydex roll-out was one of the smoothest IT system rollouts I have ever been involved in. Even if you take the minor changes made, the system worked as intended with little to no intervention. The operators all responded positively and actively engaged with both the Emydex team and the software system. ​

​Well done Emydex on reaching the 20-years in business milestone, we look forward to our future successes working together.”

Emydex 20 years – Canfisco

Canadian Fishing Company (Canfisco)

Seafood Processor, 4 plants, British Columbia, Canada

Emydex customer from 2017 – 2024 (7 years)

“We first started working with Emydex when we needed to retire a legacy system used to capture data on the plant floor. The processes were unique, and our new ERP system could not handle the complexity and the need to capture data in a fast-paced real time environment. ​

The Emydex Team has always had a solid understanding of our business processes, and the seafood industry. We’ve always felt like we “speak the same language”. We continue to work with them to automate data collection, and this is helping us streamline our business. They continue to deliver solutions faster and at a lower cost than typical ERP providers.

We are very pleased to congratulate Emydex for reaching the 20-year milestone and look forward to partnering with them for many more years to come.”

Emydex expands in Canada: a game changer for Food Traceability

Emydex expands in Canada: a game changer for Food Traceability

Customers

It has been a busy year of expansion for the Emydex Team in North America. We started deploying our solution to a prominent multi-plant poultry provider in the region, initiating with a Packing and Labelling Solution for their key facility in Waterloo, Ontario. We are eager to commence integration with their enterprise-wide ERP system and to launch enhanced features in Waterloo and additional sites.

In the Seafood sector, we've been collaborating with a leading seafood company in British Columbia for a few years now, focusing on tailored solutions for their distinct Roe Herring processing. At the same time, we are enhancing their utilization of our standard features across various fish species processing operations.

Our inaugural client in North America, a major pork processing company that has been with us since 2017, is planning to be extend their existing three production operations, to a fourth plant, a state-of-the-art Sow Processing Facility in Saskatchewan, with Emydex delivering the factory floor MES solution. This project brings unique hardware and software challenges, and we are thrilled to customize the Emydex system to meet their operational needs.

PEOPLE

Our Emydex team of people in Canada has been growing along with our business. This year we are pleased to welcome Franzreved Vendiola to the team, working out of Sakatchewan. Franzreved has been a valuable addition to the team, supporting our customers in British Columbia as well as Ontario. We also look forward to welcoming Alistair Walmsley, who recently joining our growing team in Canada, working from his home office in British Columbia.

The addition of Fransreved and Alastair means Emydex engineers are available to communicate and support our customers from East to West Coast North America, also well placed resources for our 24/7 global support coverage system, which leverages our staff in timezones around the world, including locations such as Auckland, Brisbane and Perth, as well as Dublin and Europe obviously.

BAADER

With the recent news of our strategic partnership with BAADER, headquartered in Germany, Emydex had the pleasure of joining some BAADER executives for customer visits in British Columbia, where we were able to introduce the partnership to many of our customers, some of whom are already customers of BAADER also. Soon after that successful trip we were pleased to host a visit from Mrs. Baader, CEO of BAADER Global, in our Canadian base area of Waterloo Ontario.

In the market we are seeing a lot of interest in Emydex's newly released Kill Line and Payment Modules. The process of managing a Meat Packer’s harvest floor has gotten much more complicated. Meat Packers must track and process different breeds, different raising methods (eg. Antibiotic Free, Organic, free-range, etc.). These additional tracking requirements are stressing the Meat Packers' existing Kill line and Payment Management System. Emydex provides a parameter driven Kill Line and Payment Management System, to allow Packers to migrate very quickly to a solution that allows them to be more efficient and manage the payment process.
