Software streamlines packing

St Merryn Foods employs 1,000 staff at its Merthyr Tydfil site to kill, bone and pack lamb and beef products for Tesco. The firm has recently invested in an automated, warehouse, for which it chose Systems Integration’s Integreater software, which features the latest hardware from NAWI.

Integreater is an enterprise manufacturing execution system that has been developed by food processing experts to account for all the variants and complexities specific to the industry.

St Merryn invested in Integreater's Automated warehouse management system to streamline its retail packing process. In combination with NAWI's robots, it ensures the most efficient supply of raw material stock to dedicated production lines. It automates the storage and retrieval of 'work in progress' raw material stock, enabling complete visibility and control of infeed, location and outfeed.

The integrated hardware and software system enables the loading and maintaining of optimum stock levels. It automates the production of picking sheets and details the location of stock in the holding chillers. Stock is allocated to address raw material requirements outlined in daily production plans, then delivered to retail packing production lines based on customer sales orders.

Integreater also features online tracker and report functionality to monitor and manage yield, planning, production status and raw material stocks.
