ADIFO has received a automation order from the Korean group JE IL Feed Co. Ltd.

The Belgian Automation Company ADIFO N.V., represented in the Netherlands by OFIDA B.V. in Arnhem, has been active on an international scale for years. In 2002, ADIFO N.V. received a automation order from the Korean group JE IL Feed Co. Ltd.

JE IL Feed Co. Ltd. is a company group that was founded in 1960. JE IL started producing feed in 1962, which makes it the oldest but one feed manufacturer in Korea. JE IL’s core activity is the production of pig feed, but it also has a top reputation in dairy cattle feed, aqua feed and high quality beef cattle feed.

The Korean market amounts to some 15 million tons of feed per year.
JE IL Feed Co. Ltd. has a total turnover of about 200 million dollars, and its growth in the Korean market is twice as high as that of the market itself, in spite of its competitive climate.
Today, JE IL Feed Co. Ltd. covers five production sites of which 2 successfully specialise in Aquaculture. The group consists of three fiscal entities: JE IL Feed (Taejon and Haman), JE IL Enterprise (Incheon), Green Feed (Ichsan). The automation of all three divisions has been consigned to ADIFO N.V.. In total JE IL employs 370 workers and its yearly global tonnage (including its own integration) averages 900.000 tons.

In 2001 JE IL Feed integrated with the HALIM company, which is - with its yearly production of some 100 million chickens per year - the largest broiler integrator of Korea. In 2002 this company was launched under the name HALIM Group.

The prime target for 2006 is to become the number one Farm-to-Food Leading Integrator (broilers and pigs) and to achieve a total tonnage of 1.500.000 tons per year, thus representing a 10% share of the Korean market.

Since the beginning of its business, JE IL Feed has attached great importance to quality control systems, and they have become a vital part in the company’s activities, beside production, general administration and stock management. Characteristically, JE IL Feed is constantly on the lookout for more know-how and the most recent developments in the sector through frequent relations with European and American counterparts. This explains how JE IL Feed became acquainted with ADIFO N.V.,an automation company that has built a reputation in Europe and abroad with its software products for the feed and food industries.

The initial contacts date from 2001 and the implementation at JE IL Feed of the ADIFO-package for logistic management called MILAS is scheduled for July 2002. This package will control the entire purchase, sales and stock process. Moreover, it is linked to the BESTMIX-package (recipe management and optimisation) – which is already operational at JE IL – and to LABORAS (quality control and lab management). Furthermore, the program also mentions the implementation of AMABIS (Executive Information System).
All this will be enhanced with the latest technologies of theAWI3 Web Interface and integration with the Oracle Standard Database.

JE IL Feed Co. Ltd. aims at offering high-quality services and products, and full customer satisfaction as part of its human-oriented strategy. The fact that JE IL achieves a superior expansion in a very competitive market, is ample proof of the effectiveness of its policy. It is significant that this company entrusts its automation to ADIFO N.V.
