Control-room consultant observing operators and collecting assessment evidence

Understand Before You Design

Every successful control-room project begins with understanding the operation. TechniHub assesses existing environments and defines the operational requirements that should drive future design.

Where the Engagement Begins

Assessment Framework

The TechniHub Control Room Assessment Framework

Eight interconnected dimensions of one control-room system — not a checklist of unrelated services.

DIM.01

People

Roles, responsibilities, staffing, competency, workload, fatigue and human performance.

DIM.02

Operations

Processes, procedures, workflows, communication and normal, abnormal and emergency operations.

DIM.03

Human Factors

Ergonomics, anthropometrics, cognitive workload, operator interaction and usability.

DIM.04

Information

HMI, alarms, information hierarchy, visualization and situational awareness.

DIM.05

Environment

Layout, sightlines, lighting, acoustics, thermal conditions, circulation and accessibility.

DIM.06

Technology

Control systems, visualization, computing, communications, and control-room solution connectivity and interfaces with customer-provided infrastructure.

DIM.07

Resilience

Control-room operational-continuity and supplied-system resilience requirements, coordinated with the responsible facility and infrastructure specialists.

DIM.08

Future Readiness

Digital Twin, AI, analytics, automation, remote operations and scalability.

These eight dimensions are assessed together, as one interconnected operational system — not as isolated services.

TechniHub control room methodology organized around operational purpose, eight assessment domains and four cross-cutting lenses

The objective is to establish where the operation is today, what the future control room must accomplish, and how to move from one to the other.

Scope Boundary

TechniHub defines and coordinates requirements for the control-room environment, control-room technology and the interfaces of systems within its contracted scope. Facility-wide IT/OT networks, enterprise cybersecurity, building services, structural engineering, fire and life-safety systems and process-control engineering remain the responsibility of the customer’s appointed qualified specialists unless separately contracted through an appropriately qualified specialist partner.
