THE FACILITY will provide a practical setting for developing and demonstrating how software and engineered automation work together to meet the needs of warehouse operations. The start of groundwork marks the first stage of construction at the site.

Moffett Automation brings together in-house software and engineered automation, backed by lifecycle support. The company works through a global network of integrator partners and also delivers projects directly.

Founder and managing director Sam Moffett said: “Starting work on our new Centre of Excellence is an important step for Moffett Automation and our team in Monaghan.

“Warehouse automation depends on software and engineering working together in practice. Our ambition for this facility is to support research and development and demonstrate that integration, informed by the challenges our clients and partners face every day.”
