SIDeA: design and development of control room monitoring systems

In the era of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT), the design and development of control room monitoring systems is a key element in ensuring optimal operational efficiency in various sectors. SIDeA, with its experience of more than 30 years, is positioned as a leader in providing advanced control room monitoring solutions tailored to specific needs in various sectors: industrial, security, energy, telecommunications and more.

Control room monitoring systems: when technology rhymes with SIDeA

Monitoring systems refer to any type of instrumentation for immediate and systematic detection, visualisation of a process with the aid of and other supervisory systems. Their function is to be able to intervene in a process or alarm when the process does not show itself in the desired form, or when limit values are exceeded. In the specific case of control rooms, SIDeA's control room monitoring systems provide real-time monitoring of key parameters as well as customised alarm functions to quickly signal any anomalies or risk situations.

Control room monitoring systems: what are they?

Control room monitoring systems are complex systems designed to monitor, manage and display real-time data and information from various sources or systems to facilitate the supervision and control of industrial processes, technological systems or critical operations. These systems are widely used in various industries, including industrial automation, energy, the chemical industry, aviation, defence and many others. But what are their main characteristics? Let's look at them together:

• Data collection: Control room monitoring systems acquire data from a variety of sensors, devices, machinery or automatic control systems. This data can include information on operating status, temperature, pressure, speed, production, energy consumption and much more.
• Visualisation: Data is visualised in real time through intuitive, graphical user interfaces, often on multiple screens or video walls. These visualisations may include graphs, diagrams, tables, indicators, maps and graphical representations of current processes.
• Alarms and notifications: Monitoring systems are capable of generating automatic alarms when abnormal conditions or out-of-bounds conditions are detected. These alarms are notified to operators or responsible personnel through visual and audible alerts or remote notifications.
• Data archiving: Data is usually archived permanently for purposes of historical analysis, event logging and regulatory compliance documentation. This archiving may be on local servers or in the cloud.
• Control and corrective actions: Some monitoring systems allow operators to take corrective actions directly through the interface, such as opening or closing valves, starting or stopping machinery, or setting new control parameters.
• Integration with other systems: Often, these systems are integrated with other automation and control systems, such as distributed control systems (DCS), supervisory control systems (SCADA), and building management systems (BMS), for centralised management and improved data consistency.
• Security: Security is a key consideration in monitoring systems for control rooms. Advanced security measures are implemented to ensure the integrity and confidentiality of data, as well as the protection of critical operations from external or internal threats.
• Scalability: Monitoring systems must be scalable to accommodate the size and complexity of the control environment. They can be configured to support small local operations or large industrial plants with multiple units.
