Driving Efficiency in Ireland’s FMCG Industry: Delivering a Turnkey Automation Installation with Moffett Automation

In the fast-paced world of Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), reliability, speed and safety are everything. We recently had the pleasure of collaborating closely with Moffett Automation on a major facility upgrade for one of their established FMCG clients in Dublin. Together, we delivered a comprehensive electrical and automation installation ahead of schedule.

Here is a look behind the scenes at how our combined electrical and engineering expertise brought this high-spec project to life.

Modern Infrastructure & Smart Automation

Integrating a high-throughput automation system requires meticulous planning and seamless execution. Working alongside Moffett Automation, our scope of work covered every layer of the installation, from machinery to digital infrastructure and safety monitoring:

• Conveyors & Vertical Transport: Installed and commissioned 16 conveyors and 2 Vertical Transport Units (VTUs) to optimise product flow across multiple levels.

• Cabling & Testing: Pulled, dressed, and tested approximately 1,600 meters of cabling, completing comprehensive cable testing and generating detailed certification reports to verify system functionality.

• Safety Systems: Integrated a wide range of advanced sensors, including light curtains and muting station safety devices, ensuring full compliance and workforce protection.

• Network & IT Infrastructure: Deployed strategically placed Wi-Fi access points across the facility to support real-time data flow and system connectivity.

• Process Oversight: Installed CCTV systems, precision-engineered safety fencing, and flat-screen display monitors to give operators complete visibility over the automation process.

Agility & Flexibility

A project of this scale relies heavily on effective communication. Our dedicated site team, comprising three skilled technicians and three electricians, worked in tandem with the Moffett Automation team throughout every phase of the project.

Beyond delivering the core automation package, our team demonstrated agility by delivering additional, evolving client requirements during the installation. This included fitting LED lighting throughout the entire building, ensuring the facility was fully operational upon handover.

Thanks to proactive coordination, communication and clear objectives, our teams delivered the entire project ahead of schedule, without ever compromising on quality or safety standards.

A True Turnkey Success

This project is a testament to what strong partnerships can achieve. By combining Moffett Automation’s industry-leading automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS) with our comprehensive electrical, engineering, and installation capabilities, we provided their FMCG client with a seamless solution built to drive operational efficiency.

We want to thank Moffett Automation for a fantastic collaboration and look forward to partnering on future projects!
