What is the Control Room?
A control room is typically a large space where the operations of a business or industry can be monitored or controlled via remote systems. Control rooms can be monitored by control room operators who have comprehensive knowledge of all the systems within the room and can deploy resources and monitor operations via CCTV cameras and monitors displaying different sections of the workplace. Control room operators may also have access to systems that record productivity within a business, meaning that business owners can keep a close eye on their performance from one single place.
Industries where Control Rooms are necessary
Security : monitor live feeds and alerts
Utilities & Energy: track grid status, dispatch resources
Transportation: manage traffic flow, rail systems, or airports
Broadcast: switch and control live media feeds
Emergency Operations: coordinate response during crises
Equipment of Control Rooms
Control rooms can be as advanced as you want them to be, so if you want them to just contain a few basic monitors that display camera footage from around your business, go right ahead! If you want to get super technical and have a mission control room with video walls, processors and matrixes, then you’re in luck! The world is really your oyster with control rooms.
