A new centralized Production Operations Control Centre (POCC) has opened in Mumbai, operated by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGC), India’s largest producer of crude oil and natural gas.
The POCC, located at the Institute of Production Engineering and Ocean Technology (IPEOT) in Panvel, was established to bring together complex production dashboards, live operational video, and multi-departmental collaboration into a single, cohesive view. The facility operates around the clock and is designed to support faster, more accurate decision-making across ONGC’s extensive network of onshore and offshore assets.
At the core of the installation is a Datapath-powered interactive LED video wall combining high-performance visualization with secure KVM workflows. The setup is designed to allow operators to access and control multiple workstations and live sources directly from the wall.
Using Datapath’s multi-source visualization capabilities, teams can view SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and production dashboards, operator PCs, IP camera feeds, and web-based applications side-by-side without disrupting the primary operational view. Integrated KVM control is designed to allow operators to switch among sources for troubleshooting and decision support, while multi-touch and multi-user interaction supports collaborative working during shift briefings, incident response and executive reviews.
The installation also incorporates the Datapath-T1V platform, which supports on-premises deployment, secure workflows, and integration with unified communications systems. This is designed to extend operational visibility beyond the main control room to adjacent spaces and remote participants while maintaining control-room-grade performance.
The project was delivered by system integrator Pan Intellecom, with Mindstec Distribution acting as distributor.
Ranbir Singh, director at Pan Intellecom, said: “Our focus was reliability, simplicity and a platform that the end user can operate with ease and without much technical knowledge. Datapath helped us achieve this through their user-friendly Aetria touch panel, which provides a quick, responsive and seamless KVM control.”
