Enhancing Security for a Leading Global Manufacturer
Our client, a leading global manufacturer of injectable pharmaceuticals and biotechnology devices, faced the challenge of expanding its operations in the Irish market. With almost 10,000 team members across 50 sites worldwide and manufacturing over 40 billion components and devices each year, they needed robust security and fire strategies to support their growth.
Addressing the Challenge
In 2020, Sharp Group was tasked with designing a fire and security solution for a new building on the client’s campus in Damastown. As the project progressed, it became clear that integrating the security operations of both new and existing buildings was essential for optimal safety and efficiency.
Creating a Secure Environment
Phase one of the project involved the installation of an Access Control System in the new purpose-built facility, encompassing over 100 doors and seamlessly integrating with the existing system. Phase two focused on consolidating the security systems of both buildings into one integrated solution, facilitated by a secure fibre network. This network enabled centralised monitoring and control from a new security reception area, ensuring round-the-clock surveillance without disrupting daily operations.
Enhanced Control and Cost Savings
The implementation of over 200 cameras, access control for 200 doors, and advanced analytics tools such as ANPR cameras resulted in increased control and visibility for our client. The centralised security reception allowed for streamlined management of electronic security services and visitor management systems, further enhancing security protocols.
Future projects include the installation of fully managed turnstiles in both buildings, along with external turnstiles to track staff movement between sites. These initiatives not only improve security but also contribute to potential cost savings of approximately €700,000 over three years.
