Panorama is the first Digital Command Center in the Oil&Gas sector, and it is located on the 37th floor of the Adnoc group headquarters. The name “Panorama” refers both to the visualisation of a large quantity of data, and the breathtaking view over the United Arab Emirates capital. Its aim is to support Adnoc’s efforts to become a more efficient and streamlined organization as it pushes ahead with its transformation.
As the winner of the Industry Technology Award in 2021, the project is characterised by the use of cutting edge tecnology, layout and furniture. We can identify many elements within it that are currently still being proposed as prototypes for the office of the future.
A 50-metre floor-to-ceiling LED Video Wall cuts across the Commad Center, enabling the real-time monitoring and analysis across ADNOC group’s full value chain. Its position within the space was chosen with the aim of enhance the magnificent view over Abu Dhabi.
Various, precisely defined workspaces are identifed within the layout. Five consoles are located in front of the Video Wall, comprising the main work area where the powerful Command Center tools are utilised to analyse big data.
The “Bridge”, located in the main area, embodies a combination of a Control Platform and a Visitor Presentation Area. Due to its raised position, the Bridge provides great visibility over the entire Video Wall.
The IT desk, which is located between the Bridge and the Video Wall, providies supports to the team and ensures the adequate availability and functionality of all of the tools. Nearby, two collaborative support areas allow for group meetings and group discussion.
A completely equipped Crisis Management Center, which is located inside of a separate room, allows for the course of busines without limiting the visibility of the Command Center and the Video Wall.
The furniture, the acoustic and the lighting are custom-made and follow ergonomics principles. The tailor-made interior design is characterised by curves that identify precise pathways, consent rapid circulation between workspaces, and convey a sense of dynamism within the space.
The lighting, which was designed with the consideration of the colours and finishes of the floorings, ceilings, furniture and walls, offers the possibility to automatically modify its temprature and intensity, transforming the environment’s atmosphere and providing it with a lively and versatile essence.
The lounge and the corridors are decorated with retro-illuminatred gigantrographies of the desert that envelops Abu Dhabi: a reminder of the surrounding nature and a wish for harmony between tecnology and the local territory.
