The Project
Medtronic, a global leader in medical technology, required an upgrade to their access control infrastructure at their Galway campus and the implementation of a new integrated system at their Athlone site. Both facilities required consistent security management covering access control, CCTV, door monitoring, intercoms, gate automation, and perimeter fencing, all operating as a unified platform.
The project was specified using the Vanderbilt SiPass Integrated access control system and Avigilon CCTV, with all project management, design, commissioning, and training delivered in-house by Electro Automation. Each building required standalone capability to ensure operational continuity in the event of network issues, while the overall system needed to provide full cross-site visibility and event traceability.
The Solution
Medtronic, a global leader in medical technology, has embarked on a project to enhance the security infrastructure at their facilities in Galway and Athlone. The company aims to upgrade the existing access control system in Galway while implementing a new access control/CCTV system in Athlone. This initiative is driven by Medtronic’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of their premises, personnel, and sensitive data.

The Result
Electro Automation delivered a complete integrated security solution across Medtronic's Galway and Athlone facilities. The Vanderbilt SiPass access control system and Avigilon CCTV platform were installed and commissioned across multiple buildings, providing unified visibility and traceability of all access events, CCTV activity, and perimeter intrusions across both sites. Each building operates on a standalone basis in the event of network issues, ensuring continuity of security without dependency on a single point of failure.
The integrated system gives Medtronic's in-house security team event-driven alerts, full audit trails, and a clear escalation framework for managing security incidents across both campuses. The solution was delivered end-to-end by Electro Automation's in-house team, covering design, installation, commissioning, and training, ensuring Medtronic has a single accountable partner for the entire security infrastructure across their Irish operations.
A consistent, integrated security platform across two mission-critical campuses.
Medtronic's Irish operations now benefit from a fully integrated, multi-campus security platform that provides consistent protection, traceability, and resilience across Galway and Athlone.
