Why fresh thinking is needed
Civil aviation, defence, public safety, maritime, public transport, and other safety-critical industries are at a crossroads in the evolution of their control rooms. What was once a relatively static environment – in which organisations might build a system up over 20 years – is now far more dynamic.
Systems, processes and working practices that have been developed over decades can no longer evolve as fast as changing requirements demand and as disruptive new technologies allow. Further upgrades to existing environments are becoming unsustainably expensive. Organisations also face challenges around engaging and retaining people with the right skills.
Fresh thinking is needed to enable safety-critical control rooms to tackle growing challenges across four dimensions: cost, resources, complexity, and capacity. Frequentis Advisory Services precisely offers this fresh thinking, helping customers remove the barriers between operational technology and information exchange so that they can transform their capabilities and enable innovation.
