Control Room Design

Is the need of the time to turn our attentions towards the much needed trend of supervision in the modern times? Don’t have any idea, where to start from or what to do and how to do? We got a solution for you.

Compromising situation:-

A lot of companies around the world have turned their attention to the new supervision centers and spaces which are centralized and consolidated but this can be a fairly pricey multi year commitment. One option available is to re occupy and reuse the already existing supervision rooms, but this cannot be done without extensive refitting of the equipment and latest alliances.
There are some limitations with this problem as the extensive refitting will still be considered as a compromise and the cost of refitting and other appliances can almost match the cost of a new control room design. So how would you proceed forward from here on?

Important aspects:-

Here are some of the important aspects of operation that need to be ensured while designing a supervision centre.

  • Both the primary and secondary users are needed
  • Three important things to ensure while designing are number, suitability and style of supervision centers
  • Placing the electrical appliances adjacently by keeping the comfort factor in mind
  • Those areas need to be pointed which are a hindrance in the way of operator’s enhanced ability to diagnose, detect and react to unusual situations which may include 

  1. Ergonomics
  2. Comfortable furniture
  3. Proper lighting and installation of HVAC system
  4. Noise reduction
  5. Flow of traffic

Design factors:-

Engineers must keep in mind all the necessary design factors that may influence factors like health, safety, comfort, efficiency and effectiveness of all operators through architectural designing of the centre and proper lighting. According to the medical officers supervision rooms must be illuminated at 1000 lux as this amount of light helps the operators to adjust their circadian cycles.

Importance of proper lighting:-

If proper lighting is not provided it increases the chances of operators experiencing sleep disorders which may result in unfavorable health conditions like cardiac diseases and other diseases and issues can also happen which automatically decreases the reliability of the operator and the process of supervision is seriously affected and it can also result in an unwanted incident or any accident inside the supervision space.

The importance of proper lighting in the control room design is influenced by the fact that more than 60 percent of the operators have confessed that they sleep during the night shifts.
