Interactive Utility Control Room Experience

This interactive control room experience showcases how operator-centered control room design supports real-time decision-making in modern utility operations. The environment demonstrates how physical layout, lighting conditions, and console design function together as the human–machine interface between grid automation systems and operators. It is intended to help utilities visualize how design decisions impact situational awareness, coordination, and performance during both normal operations and high-stress events.

Designed for Utility Control Rooms

  1. Reduced operator fatigue during extended events
  2. Improved situational awareness across teams
  3. Designed to support coordinated response workflows
  4. Built for 24/7 uptime in mission-critical environments

Below, you are viewing a real-world control room environment built to support grid operators during high-stress, real-time decision-making.

How to Use This Interactive Environment

Use the 360° views below to explore the control room from an operator’s perspective. Compare lighting modes, evaluate sightlines to shared displays, and observe how console proportions and spacing support continuous monitoring and collaboration. These views are intended to support early planning discussions and help teams connect design concepts with operational realities.

Standard Lighting Operations Environment (360°)

Shows the control room under normal ambient lighting for general operations and collaboration.

Low-Light Operations Environment (360°)

Shows the same control room with reduced lighting to minimize glare and visual fatigue during extended monitoring.

Control Room Console Detail Views

Isolated views of the same control room consoles shown above, highlighting design, proportions, and construction details.

This interactive environment reflects real-world utility control room planning considerations, including operator workflows, sightlines, and physical interaction with automated systems. It is intended to complement early-stage design discussions by helping teams visualize how console layout and environmental conditions affect operational performance.
