2025 Recap
Control Room Consoles Design & Innovation
2025 was a year of progress at Tresco Consoles.
We spent less time asking what could be built, and more time focusing on what actually works in real mission-critical environments. For Tresco, that meant innovation supported by reliability and shaped by the real needs of operators and project teams.
Our focus extended beyond refining control room consoles or accelerating production timelines. Throughout the year, we looked closely at how mission-critical environments come together and how we could better support the people who design them, build them, and rely on them every day.
This meant improving how requirements are gathered, how early layouts are reviewed, how control room furniture is manufactured, and how operators experience their workspace during long shifts. The result is a year defined by practical innovation, stronger processes, and clearer paths from concept to operation.
Innovation as a Practical Tool for Better Control Rooms
Innovation at Tresco has never been about adding features for the sake of complexity. In 2025, it became a structured approach to solving real problems within real mission-critical environments. This approach guides how we design control room consoles, plan control room layouts, and support long-term operator performance.
Innovation meant focusing on four key areas.
- Improving the Operator Experience
- Supporting Planners, Integrators, and Design Teams
- Better Visualization and Pre-Construction Clarity
- Strengthening Internal Processes for More Reliable Project Delivery
These four areas guided how we approached innovation throughout the year.
Improving the Operator Experience
The operator remains central to every design choice we make. This year, we strengthened our alignment with ISO 11064 to ensure each workstation supported both physical comfort and cognitive performance.
We refined sightlines, optimized reach zones, and enhanced operator ergonomics across all three product lines.
Our sit-stand integrations became more stable and intuitive, and we expanded options for lighting, monitor positioning, and personal organization.
We also advanced the Personal Environment Unit, which now delivers more intuitive control, improved internal architecture, and higher reliability for continuous use.
These updates ensure that ergonomic control room furniture does more than meet standards. It supports focus, well-being, and long-term operator performance.
Supporting Planners, Integrators, and Design Teams
Designing a modern command center or operations room requires collaboration, precision, and reliable information. In 2025, we improved the clarity of our product lineup to make specification and planning more intuitive.
Each console line now reflects a clearer and more intentional role within the full spectrum of mission-critical environments.
- AEGIS
A fast-turn, curated solution for SOCs, GSOCs, PSOCs, and security-focused rooms where clarity and speed of deployment matter. - NEXUS
A modular platform for collaborative control room design, suited for utilities, transportation networks, and complex monitoring environments. - VANGUARD
A high-performance solution built for immersive, process-driven environments that demand advanced operator ergonomics and independent monitor control.
Together, these lines support a wide range of clients without unnecessary complexity. They offer consistent ergonomic foundations, reliable structural quality, and the flexibility to adapt to environments of all scales.
Better Visualization and Pre-Construction Clarity
Communication plays a critical role in reducing risk during control room planning. In 2025, we expanded our visualization capabilities to support planners, architects, and integrators with:
- High-fidelity renders set in realistic mission-critical environments
- Multi-monitor and video wall integration visuals
- XR walkthroughs that reveal movement patterns, sightlines, and spatial alignment
- Technical illustrations that support engineering clarity
- Interactive tools like COMPOSE let you design, customize, plan your layout, select specifications, and quote in under 30 minutes.
Together, these tools reduce ambiguity during stakeholder alignment and allow teams to move forward with greater confidence earlier in the process.
Strengthening Internal Processes for More Reliable Project Delivery
While much of our innovation focused on control room design and product development, an equally important area of progress happened behind the scenes. Throughout 2025, our teams worked together to improve the operational foundation that supports every project we deliver.
We evaluated each stage of the project journey and identified opportunities to make the process more consistent, more transparent, and less vulnerable to human error. The result is a unified workflow that improves how information moves between teams, how tasks are assigned, how files are organized, and how progress is tracked from initial concept to final installation.
These improvements include:
A centralized workflow that keeps every department aligned
Automated handoffs that reduce delays and prevent common errors
Real-time visibility into project progress
Department-level dashboards that improve planning and decision-making
A smoother, more predictable project experience for clients
The combined impact of these improvements is a more reliable project pipeline with fewer delays, clearer communication, and greater consistency at every stage. These behind-the-scenes advancements strengthen our ability to deliver high-quality control room consoles and environments on schedule and with full confidence.
Looking Ahead to 2026
If 2025 was a year of refining our foundations, 2026 will be a year of accelerating how control rooms are planned, designed, and delivered, focused on building momentum with clarity and purpose.
Our priorities moving forward are centered around three core goals:
- Increase Reliability and Speed
We will continue strengthening the systems, structures, and processes that allow control room projects to move forward with greater confidence. This includes improving consistency across design, manufacturing, and delivery so clients can rely on predictable timelines and dependable outcomes without sacrificing performance or quality. - Support Everyone Involved in Building Control Rooms
Control rooms are not built by a single role or discipline. In 2026, we will continue developing solutions that support operators, planners, integrators, engineers, and decision-makers alike. Our focus remains on reducing friction during early planning, improving communication throughout projects, and ensuring every stakeholder has the clarity they need to move forward efficiently. - Continue to Innovate with Purpose
Innovation will remain a constant, but always grounded in real-world application. We will keep exploring new ideas, tools, and approaches that improve how control rooms are designed, visualized, and experienced, while staying focused on solutions that deliver measurable value in mission-critical environments.
Together, these priorities reflect our commitment to delivering control room solutions that work reliably today and adapt thoughtfully for the challenges ahead.
Thank You
To everyone who trusted Tresco with their mission-critical environments in 2025, thank you. Your feedback and collaboration continue to shape how we design, refine, and innovate.
As we move into 2026, our commitment remains clear:
