Mission Critical Environments Group

The room is the system.

Control rooms only work when the people, the technology, and the procedures are designed as one. MCEG plans, designs, and optimizes the environments where indecision is expensive and potentially catastrophic.

What we do

Most control rooms fail on the seams.

The video wall works. The consoles are new. The SCADA system is current. And operators still miss the alarm that mattered, because nobody designed the handoffs between those things.

MCEG works across the seams: the space, the systems, the staffing, and the standard operating procedures. The room then performs as an operationally curated space rather than a collection of disparate parts that work in isolation.

How engagements start
A

Assess an existing room

Operational observations, existing conditions examination, workflow documentation, support adjacency requirements, and key operational and technical stakeholders all factor into the foundation from which to build a design.

B

Plan a new build

Programming, concept design, and technology strategy ahead of capital request, early enough that the architecture still accommodates how the room must operate.

C

Modernize in place

Phased upgrades to visualization, communications, alarm management, and procedures in a room that cannot go dark while the work happens.

Where we work

Environments that cannot pause.

Power transmission and distribution, fusion centers, global security operations, emergency operations centers, defense, 911 dispatch, public safety, transportation management, and industrial process control.

Industries served

Design the room for the worst hour it will ever have, not the average one.
Leadership

Built on three decades in the room.

MCEG is led by Tyler Bonner, who has worked in control room design, deployment, and sustainment since 2004 and brings more than 30 years building and scaling businesses that serve mission-critical industries across utilities, federal and defense, public safety, data centers, and industrial operations. He holds a TS clearance and is the founder and chairman emeritus of the Command & Control Alliance.

About the leadership

Tell us what the room has to do.

Whether it is an assessment, a new build, or a modernization that has to happen live, the first conversation is about operations, not products.
