What Is Control Room?
When you think of a control room, you might picture a cold, high-tech space filled with people monitoring multiple screens and coordinating real-time decisions. And you’re not wrong.
A control room is the nerve centre of any mission-critical environment—whether it’s a security control room, energy facility, or transportation hub. It’s where information meets action, and where round-the-clock operations are monitored and managed by skilled technicians and managers.
At Datumstruct CFS, we specialise in building modular, ergonomic, and highly functional control rooms tailored to the unique needs of each industry.
Here are some of the most common types of control rooms—and what makes each one unique.
Security & Defense Control Rooms
Security control rooms serve as critcal command and communication centers for national security or corporate operations. Effective surveillance monitoring, radio dispatch, and real-time coordination require seamless layout and flexibility. We’ve worked with leading defense clients to create secure, high performance control room solution tailored to their operational needs.
Transportation
From road networks and rail systems to seaports and tunnels, transportation control rooms are responsible for overseeing complex operations with precision and efficiency. These environments require seamless integration of multiple data resoures, ergonomic console desking, and expansive video wall displays to empower operators to make swift, informed decision in high-pressure situation.
Energy, Oil & Gas
In high-stakes environments like refineries and industrial plants, operators rely on real-time data visibility to ensure safe and efficient operations. These control rooms need spacious, durable and adaptable furniture setups to accommodate surveillance systems, analytics dashboards and 24/7 supervision. We’ve partnered with leading oil and gas firms to design ergonomic consoles that support mission-critical operations.
Many of these types of control rooms need large equipment, ample desk space, and space for surveillance and monitoring devices. Redecon worked closely with a leading global energy, oil and gas company to provide a control room solution that supported seamless operations in this critical operational environment.
Our Process to Building a Control Room
Building a mission-critical control room requires strategic planning, industry expertise, and a strong focus on operator well-being. Our proven process includes the following key stages:
- Needs assessment – understanding mission-critical functions and spatial constraints.
- . Ergonomic planning – optimizing console configuration, screen positioning, and seating arrangment for operator comfort and efficiency.
- Technical integration – incorporating video wall systems, cable management, and lighting.
- Simulation & feedback – creating a digital mock-up to gather client input and approval.
- Installation & testing – delivering a fully functional, high-performance control room, ready for use.
Common Challenges in Control Room Setup
Designing an effective control room requires overcoming a range of practical challenges. Key considerations include:
- Space limitations for multi-screen operations.
- Heat dissipation from high-density equipment
- Managing ambient noise to support operator focus during extended shifts
- Ensuring uninterrupted power supply
- Achieving ergonomic compliance for 24/7 usage
We solve these challenges through compact modular layouts, climate-aware planning, acoustic dampening strategies, and adaptable, operator-centric furniture solutions.
