Alpha Automation Launches Dedicated Machine Safety Division

Alpha Automation is delighted to announce the launch of its dedicated Machine Safety Division, marking a significant expansion of the company's capabilities in machine safety, safety automation and compliance engineering.

The Machine Safety Division will be led by Eoin Kennedy, Business Unit Manager, Robynson Molinari, Technical Safety Manager, and Gearóid White, Senior Safety Automation Engineer. Together, they bring extensive expertise in machine safety, functional safety and industrial automation. Robynson brings nearly 20 years of machine safety experience, including a previous role with TÜV Rheinland, one of the world's leading testing, inspection and certification organisations. The division is further strengthened by Alpha Automation team members Matthew Hayter and Michael Anthony Browne, both of whom hold TÜV safety accreditations as part of the company's ongoing investment in safety capability.

The new division has been established in response to growing customer demand for a more integrated approach to machinery safety. As manufacturing systems become increasingly complex, businesses need partners who can support machinery, control systems, safety systems and compliance requirements as a single ecosystem. By bringing these disciplines together under one roof, Alpha Automation provides a single partner to support clients throughout the machinery lifecycle.

The launch represents the culmination of significant investment throughout 2026, focused on building the right foundations, developing internal capabilities and assembling a team with the expertise to deliver a truly integrated approach to machine safety. We are delighted to welcome Eoin, Robynson and Gearóid to Alpha Automation and look forward to the continued growth of the division.We also look forward to engaging with customers and industry professionals through a series of upcoming events, workshops and technical talks, where our team will share practical insights on machine safety, safety automation, CE marking and the changes introduced by the new EU Machinery Regulation.
