Optimise control room design

A control room is a component of a complex system where people and equipment interface to monitor and control multiple systems. Many people struggle to visualise drawings or plans, and control room workflow simulations or ‘mock-ups’ are time-consuming and often unproductive.

To achieve a fit-for-purpose control room, the design costs using traditional design and review methods can be significant.

The likelihood of design error is substantial as design iterations do not cater for multi-stakeholders input, nor do they provide a dynamic environment for all critical operational requirements to be considered.

Immersive control room design visualisation

CADwalk’s patented life-sized digital design sessions offer a collaborative and immersive control room design process. Interactive 2D control room plans are projected on the floor at any scale, up to 1:1, so your stakeholders can walk through the control room in life size, provide feedback and make changes in real time. A 3D model is simultaneously projected on the wall and in virtual reality, providing validation of the control room from all angles.

A CADwalk Lifesize session removes the protracted design process, irrespective of complexity and size. It saves significant design time and cost, with stakeholders able to visualise and provide input into the proposed control room design. Analysis has shown design costs are reduced by 50%, design time by 80% and stakeholder input improved by 99%; considerably reducing project risk.

Feel assured and confident in your control room layout and functionality, by testing and validating scenarios. Avoid design errors, ensuring your design is fit for purpose before any money is spent on control room construction.
