MeatCo - Namabia

Beef Primal Processor,
4 plants, Namibia, Africa

Emydex customer from 2011 – 2024 (13 years)

“Meatco’s Journey with Emydex started 13 years ago in mid-2011, when we were looking to replace our then ageing Production System. After much research, Emydex was the obvious choice as they could utilise our current hardware which significantly reduced our total cost of ownership.

Meatco was then the first plant to have Emydex installed in Africa, which came with its own challenges, but Emydex approached each challenge professionally, and no task was too big or too small. Over the past 13 years Emydex’s support and dedication was/is unwavering, and they have always been willing to assist where needed, whether it be in support or development of new products. Currently we have Emydex installed at eight of our plants spread across Namibia.

Emydex is a Fit for Purpose product that complements our business. With Dave, James, and the Emydex team, our customers have confidence in our product, knowing that we can fully guarantee the quality and trace our products from farm to fork. We look forward to many more Fruitful years with Emydex by our side.”

Emydex 20 years – Liffey Meats

26 March 2024

Liffey Meats

Beef Primal & Value-Added Processor
2 plants, Ireland

Emydex customer from 2011 – 2024 (13 years)

“Liffey Meats have been working with Emdyex for almost 14 years, our first project being to install an Emdyex system into our Beef abattoir in Ballinasloe back in 2011. The system, still in operation today, incorporates lairage bookings, sequencing, and grading terminals, as well an offal packing, carcass dispatch station, also a Beef Payments system with real-time links back to our main boning hall plant in BallyJamesduff.

A few years later, we installed Emdyex door-to-door in a second plant, our value-added operation in BallyJamesduff, a plant that produces a range of value-added products. The benefits of this system are; efficiency and productivity, data management and analysis, scalability and flexibility and continuous improvement.

Having worked with Dave and his team for the past 14 years, I can say the key difference with Emdyex is their ‘can do’ attitude. Every meat processor has different wants and needs. With Emdyex, they have the experience of having worked with other processors around the world and can advise as to best deliver a working solution that fulfils our needs.

On behalf of Liffey Meats, I congratulate you on this significant milestone. May the next 20 years be filled with even greater achievements, continued growth, and prosperity. We look forward to continuing our partnership.”

Emydex 20 years – Interfrigo

26 March 2024

Interfrigo Coldstore

3rd Party Coldstore
1 Coldstore in Ballymena, Northern Ireland

Emydex customer from 2010 – 2024 (14 years)

“Due to customer demands for full traceability Interfrigo teamed up with Emydex in 2010 to build a Warehouse Management system tailored to suit Interfrigo’ s business needs. This enabled Interfrigo to offer its customers complete traceability and transparency when moving their stock through the cold store process, from blast freezing, pallet rebuild to dispatch. This put Interfrigo in a unique position to offer full case level traceability from farm to frozen dispatch.

Operationally scanner and fork truck software was built enabling Interfrigo the ability to monitor and move stock more efficiently through the warehouse, capturing each stock movement through the process.

Since we have joined up with Emydex back in 2010 it has given us and our customers the confidence to grow and storage capacity has doubled from 10, 000 pallet spaces to 20,000. This wouldn’t have been possible without the flexibility and understanding shown by Emydex in helping Interfrigo expand and move forward. We look forward to many more years of working together.”
