Future-Proof ControlRooms: Why Efficiency Is Key to Preventing Blackouts

Controlrooms GmbH responds to Barco’s Global Control Room Report 2025 with innovation and actionable insights

May 1, 2025 – Vienna, Austria – As technological demands rise and operational landscapes grow more complex, modern control rooms are under increasing pressure to deliver uninterrupted performance. The newly released Barco Global Control Room Report 2025, based on feedback from over 2,000 professionals across six industries and three continents, delivers a clear message: control room efficiency is directly linked to productivity, safety, and the ability to prevent blackouts.

Controlrooms GmbH, a European market leader in control room design and system integration, is embracing this shift. By combining local manufacturing with global expertise, the company delivers highly customized, mission-critical control room environments that are built for today’s – and tomorrow’s – challenges.

“Control rooms are no longer passive monitoring centers. They are strategic hubs for safety, stability, and operational excellence,” says Erich Strasser, CEO of Controlrooms GmbH.
“Those who invest in intuitive workflows and resilient technologies can proactively prevent failures instead of merely reacting to them. That’s exactly where we come in.”


Why Efficiency Matters More Than Ever

The report’s findings are compelling:

  • Highly efficient control rooms are 34% more productive
  • 91% of staff in such environments report high job satisfaction
  • The most pressing challenges include workflow complexity, reactive decision-making, and cybersecurity risks

These insights underline the urgency for organizations to modernize their control room infrastructure – both technologically and operationally.


From Centralized Testing to Remote Resilience

Controlrooms GmbH implements these insights directly in the field. Thanks to Barco CTRL, clients’ systems can be securely monitored and operated remotely – all from the company’s Vienna base.
