Control Room TrendsĬontrol room operators are increasingly leveraging Internet Protocol (IP) networking technology. Information integration and visualization are especially important in these scenarios-from detailed network distribution information to topological overviews of the service area-in addition to redundancy/backup support to ensure continuous operations. The challenges include providing an integrated real-time overview of process flow and equipment status for better situational awareness and decision making, along with a flexible and ergonomic system deployment for efficient yet managed access to devices. In utilities and process control centers, operators continuously monitor and control constant flows of manufacturing, industrial control process, infrastructure/equipment status, and the dynamic change on demand to guarantee production and distribution in the best possible way. Rows of monitors visible from multiple workstations enable several workers to have input simultaneously on operations. Power plants can benefit from control room solutions in a variety of ways, helping operators work more efficiently and make better decisions. Power plants can benefit from control room solutions in a number of ways: in their process facilities for surveillance in facility situation rooms for command and control for traffic management and for broadcasting distribution monitoring (Figure 1).ġ. Whether it’s for monitoring, decision-making, responding, controlling, collaborating, or communicating, control room solutions are an essential component to daily operations, allowing for more efficient work and better decision-making. With an ever-increasing number of content sources and applications to manage, in addition to collaborative information integration needs, today’s control rooms need to enable system management that is efficient and cost-effective, while at the same time offering maximum operator comfort. Control rooms are vital for organizations to efficiently and effectively monitor multiple information streams and make accurate mission-critical decisions.
