The optimal control room:
from overview to insight
In a control room, everything converges: data, image, sound, and human action. The quality of this environment directly determines how quickly operators respond and how safely an organisation operates.
Human-centric control rooms
Ops Factor designs every space with the operator and management, combining human-centric design with seamless technical integration. From the initial analysis through to commissioning, we ensure that the working environment aligns perfectly with your specific processes and the people who manage them.
System integration
Every control room desk serves as the critical interface between people and technology. We ensure that controls, displays, and software work together seamlessly. Our experienced engineers integrate audiovisual, IT, and mechatronic components into one cohesive system, with reliability and ease of maintenance at the core of every design.
To support this process, we have developed our own configuration tool, allowing us to rapidly create, test, and validate prototypes before a desk enters production. This enables us to verify every detail in advance, ensuring a smooth and reliable transition to manufacturing.
From concept to completion
Ops Factor guides the entire process: from analysis and design to production and installation. Together we create a control room that functions optimally today and remains future-proof tomorrow.
Furniture and workstation
Comfort, concentration and control form the foundation of an efficient control room, with the operator desk as its beating heart. Ops Factor designs and builds consoles that are ergonomically optimal, suitable for 24/7 use and fully modular. Elements like height adjustment, cable management, lighting and ventilation are integrated into one functional design.
The result is a workstation that fits the body and the task.
Lighting and climate
A good lighting and climate plan ensures the right balance between brightness and calm. Good lighting supports focus and prevents fatigue. Ops Factor develops lighting plans with glare control, indirect lighting and colour temperatures that move with the daily rhythm. Ventilation and acoustics also receive the attention that operators deserve.
The result is a healthy, quiet and comfortable working environment.
Videowalls and KVM systems
Good information provision accelerates decision-making. By integrating videowalls and KVM systems, operators can respond directly to changing situations. In collaboration with partners such as Black Box, Leyard, Datapath and G&D, Ops Factor delivers display systems that operate reliably 24/7, with minimal latency and maximum clarity.
All systems are extensively tested and fully configured for use on site.
Ergonomics and design validation
Every control room is extensively tested in advance for ergonomics and ease of use. Using analyses, 3D visualisations and mock-ups, we verify reach, sightlines and interaction. Operators are actively involved in this process and provide valuable feedback from practice.
The result is a working environment that is intuitive, safe and efficient.
Mobile control rooms
Together with our partner Metagro, we provide fully equipped, plug-and-play mobile control rooms for remote operations in challenging environments like offshore or deep-sea. These units are ideal for the safe teleoperation of robots and specialized vehicles during industrial cleaning, inspections, or special missions.
