“Turning good into great – this has been our dictum since 1914 when the company Eidmann was established. We esteem our decade-long craftsmanship and develop it constantly. For us, it is therefore no contradiction but rather a consequence of this tradition to use the latest technology and most advanced processes at our meat and sausage plant“, explains Carsten Koch, managing director at the meat and sausage plant Karl Eidmann GmbH & Co. KG. The well-established company is successfully combining decades of experience with today‘s state-of-the-art technology. This includes the utilization of the industry-specific business IT solution by CSB-System AG, which has been an integral part of the infrastructure at Eidmann for many years.

Quality is of top priority to Eidmann, a listed supplier for the food retail sector. In the year 2003, the company was one of the first in Germany to receive the IFS certificate (International Food Standard) at higher level, the highest quality standard in the food industry. The first-class product range of Eidmann contains over 400 products, including various poultry and organic products from gluten and allergen-free production. “With integrated quality management in the CSB-System we are able to process selected and fresh raw materials from controlled producers with the required safety for our customers and consumers into top-quality meat and sausage specialties”, says Carsten Koch.

Eidmann is one of the customers of CSB-System AG who utilizes all
modules of the industry-specific ERP software. All peripheral devices like scales, scanners and indexing conveyors are seamlessly integrated in the ERP software by means of an efficient CIM concept (Computer Integrated Manufacturing). As a result, Eidmann benefits from an optimal information and material flow within the entire company. All data capture points and all machines as well as all instruments and devices for testing, measuring and labelling are fully integrated in this concept.
