Mission-Critical Control Room Design Considerations

CTI’s experienced and knowledgeable team simplifies the command and control center design, build, and implementation process from end to end. We accomplish this by committing to mission-critical system design that always centers around empowering your most important asset: the operator.

What’s more, the beating heart of every control center’s effectiveness is how analysts behind their consoles actually improve business outcomes and function in the demanding, day-to-day operating environment. To optimize this, we integrate holistic, high-performance control room technology solutions after careful considerations and with unparalleled design proficiency. A CTI system integration is where human-centric engineering meets functionality, and custom innovation meets practicality.

Empowering the Operator

We construct operator-centric environments that foster highly efficient monitoring, seamless control and more diligent incident management.

Optimizing the Environment

The rise of remote operations demands extending situational awareness to off-site operators through robust remote access solutions. Designing systems for control rooms that plan to utilize this type of enhanced capability involves advanced network-based technology solutions and cloud applications, facilitating remote sharing and centralized monitoring of displays and video wall content.

Personal Workstations

Room Size & Spatial Planning

Resolution, size, layout, and total width of a complete control room system are determined by many factors including room dimensions, distance from operators and more.

Lighting & Acoustics

Systems designed for control room acoustics, adjustable lighting for glare reduction, soundproofing and climate control for operator comfort.

Ergonomics

Control rooms demand meticulous attention to ergonomics to ensure optimal operator comfort, health, and efficiency. CTI is committed to ergonomic design principles that are fundamental for minimizing fatigue and strain, improving productivity, and preventing workplace injuries. Customizing workstation setups and designing ergonomic workstations for extended screen time, such as adjustable furniture, 24/7-rated ergonomic seating, and optimized monitor positioning, cater to individual preferences and promote long-term operator well-being.

Scalability & Future-Proofed Infrastructure

Scalability and future-proofing are integral considerations in designing technology solutions for command centers and control rooms. Designing a scalable control room for future needs anticipates changes in technology. We can help.

Safety and Security

Physical & Network Security

When it comes time to implement a control room system design, we’re prepared and fully understand the need to be vetted as a physical security precaution so that you can rest assured all personnel and equipment will be cleared, compliant and air-gapped when possible.

System Redundancy

When it comes to technology integration for mission-critical environments, control room system redundancy serves as the core of establishing a design that promises reliability. It’s essential to mitigate the risk of downtime and ensure continuous operations.
