Building the Future of Mission-Critical Control Rooms: Adder, Mauell & Accellence at PMRExpo 2025
In today’s mission-critical environments, control rooms are under more pressure than ever. From monitoring of national energy grids to coordinating emergency response and safeguarding industrial facilities, operators must stay ahead of rising demands. Organizations face growing data volumes, increasingly complex security demands and the need to maintain continuous and critical operations.
When every second counts, control rooms become the core of mission-critical operations, enabling organizations to make fast, informed decisions that protect resources and infrastructure.
To help organizations meet these challenges, Adder, Mauell and Accellence Technologies have joined forces exclusively at PMRExpo 2025 to create an integrated control room solution that brings together ergonomic design, powerful software and seamless connectivity. This complete ecosystem will be demonstrated live at the event showing how technology and expertise can transform control room performance.
Creating Safer, More Efficient Workspaces with Mauell
A well-designed control room starts with the physical environment. Operators must perform under pressure, often 24/7, in environments where clarity, visibility and comfort directly influence operational outcomes. Mauell understand this. With decades of experience in customized control rooms and supervisory systems for energy, industrial and transport sectors, Mauell has become a trusted partner for ergonomically optimized control room desks.
Mauell’s solutions address these challenges with ergonomic operator workstations, specialized furniture and their proven mosaic technology, a modular visual display system. The result is a smart, integrated space that supports real-time decision-making, reduces operator fatigue and improves situational awareness.
Turning Data into Action with Accellence
Modern control rooms depend on fast, accurate information, yet as the volume of data sources soars, operators often struggle to manage fragmented systems and security platforms efficiently.
Accellence Technologies GmbH specialises in video security and SCADA/process automation software. As an independent developer and systems supplier, Accellence brings deep expertise in creating bespoke solutions that are efficient and secure. Their client-oriented approach ensures that organizations receive reliable, future-proof solutions tailored to their operational needs. Their software solutions meet the highest standards of performance and sustainability, supported by strong technical expertise and on-time delivery.
Unifying Control and Access with Adder
Even the most advanced control room design and software can fall short if operators can’t quickly and reliably access the systems they need. At Adder, we understand that control rooms operate around the clock and must deliver uncompromising performance. Our high-performance IP KVM solutions are designed to give operators instant access to multiple systems through a single keyboard and mouse.
By relocating noisy, heat-generating computers into secure and controlled server rooms, operators gain a quieter and more resilient workspace, optimising decision-making and extending equipment lifecycles. Our technology also enables multi-site control room functionality, improving flexibility and disaster recovery while simplifying IT maintenance through easy failover and remote access.
A Live Demonstration at PMRExpo
In mission-critical environments, delays of even a few seconds can have significant consequences. By integrating physical workspace design, advanced software and powerful connectivity solutions, operators gain real-time situational awareness and the tools to act quickly and collaboratively. This partnership between Adder, Mauell and Accellence demonstrates how interoperability and innovation can elevate control room capabilities to the next level.
Visitors to PMRExpo in Cologne will have the chance to experience this integrated control room firsthand. Together, Adder, Mauell and Accellence will showcase a fully functional control room environment designed to mirror real-world operational demands.
- The demonstration runs on a dedicated server rack connected via an HP 10G/1G switch. These systems are linked via ADDERLink® INFINITY 2122T and ADDERLink INFINITY 4001T transmitters, ensuring reliable, high-speed connectivity between the server room and operator stations.
- For resilience and business continuity, the system includes built-in network redundancy using network ports on the ADDERLink INFINITY devices, giving operators a safeguard in case of network interruptions.
- To bring all systems directly to the operator’s fingertips, the receiver units are installed inside the Mauell control room console. This includes two ADDERLink INFINITY 2122R, one ADDERLink INFINITY 3000 (to support virtual machines) and two ADDERLink INFINITY 4001R units. All of these feed into an ADDERView® CCS-MV 4224 Multi-Viewer, which acts as the central control point for switching and management.
- To provide clear visibility and an organized workspace, the operator desk features a three-monitor bridge. Two of these monitors show the CCS-MV output, while the third is dedicated to Accellence’s video surveillance software, giving operators an instant overview of critical information.
- For situational awareness on a larger scale, video wall monitors are mounted and connected to the system through additional ADDERLink® INFINITY 2122 receivers, allowing any server signal to be shown independently of what’s on the operator’s screens. Switching between these sources is managed using Adder’s API, Bitfocus Companion software, and a Streamdeck Mini, enabling quick, intuitive control. Finally, to allow operators to adjust their view quickly and without complexity, switching can be done through the on-screen display (OSD).
By integrating these layers, organizations can improve situational awareness, reduce response times and future-proof their operations, whether they’re managing critical infrastructure, security networks or distributed control environments.
