One of the primary functions of a managed control room is to monitor and surveil various systems, processes, and equipment in real-time. Control room operators continuously observe data feeds, alarms, and visual displays to ensure normal operations and identify any anomalies or potential issues. By closely monitoring key indicators, operators can take immediate action to prevent or address disruptions and maintain operational efficiency.

Furthermore, managed control rooms prioritize the safety and well-being of personnel by establishing emergency response plans and procedures. In the event of a crisis or emergency, operators are trained to swiftly initiate appropriate protocols, such as evacuations or shutdowns, and coordinate with relevant stakeholders, such as emergency services or management teams.
