FPL sought a console design that would flawlessly complement their cutting-edge Drone Command room, and Evans was there every step of the way. This groundbreaking control room sets a new standard for electrical transmission and distribution control room applications. The project demanded a solution that seamlessly integrated the architectural, technological, and operational requirements of the space, while prioritizing operator comfort and situational awareness. Evans rose to the challenge, crafting designs that strike the perfect balance between aesthetics and functionality.

We carefully selected a combination of the innovative Strategy Air and Strategy SX product platforms as the foundation for the FPL Drone Command Center. These platforms perfectly met the specific requirements of the room, including optimizing sightlines for operator screens and shared video walls.

 

At the heart of Evans' approach to delivering customized solutions to our customers is a meticulously defined design process and effective communication with all stakeholders throughout the design and execution stages. Our methodology begins with state-of-the-art visualization and design tools, which guide us through the entire design and manufacturing process.

 

In order to fulfill our commitment to delivering high-quality and accurate solutions to our clients, we meticulously stage every project. This not only allows us to ensure that the proposed product meets all operational objectives identified during the design stage, but it also gives us the opportunity to witness our custom lighting design in action. As part of the Evans process, we conduct ongoing quality checkpoints at various stages of design and execution, ensuring that every detail is flawlessly executed. Learn more about the Evans process.

 

The culmination of the FPL Drone Command Center project involved the seamless integration of the consoles on-site. With the assistance of Evans' dedicated transportation and installation teams, we guarantee the highest quality and impeccable finish for the products. Witnessing the months of meticulous planning and production come together was truly awe-inspiring!
