Control Room Solutions
Improving operator effectiveness
The control room is the heart and core of all technology in an industrial
environment. A poorly planned and designed control room can lead to costly
mistakes that can be related directly to human error. A control room design must
consider the human, the workflow as well as the technology. Proper design will
ensure optimal operational efficiency not just today, but for the future. Professional
design and planning create a solution where nothing is overlooked.
Our offering
Proper planning in advance can save costs, as well as create an optimal control room
environment for operator effectiveness. A well-designed control room solution,
whether it is a new-build or upgrade, total or partial, is your assurance of safer,
more alert operators, more attentive monitoring, quicker and more efficient
reaction times, and higher productivity.
Every detail counts when investing in your control room. Involving ABB in an early
phase of your project ensures that the operator working environment is planned
and furnished as a complete solution, avoiding many of the difficulties and costs
often associated with a new control room. Thanks to experiences from multiple
industries and countries, ABB control room solutions both drive efficiency and
cut total costs.
