With Evans Consoles, our design process ensures that every aspect of your control room is optimized for functionality, comfort, and efficiency.
We will create a layout and select furniture that supports operators' comfort and health, reducing fatigue and increasing efficiency. This can include adjustable chairs, proper desk heights, and considerations for the physical layout that minimize strain and maximize comfort.
Technology Integration
We ensure that all necessary technologies are seamlessly integrated. This integration includes setting up computer systems, displays, control panels, and communication tools. The design often incorporates multiple screens and interfaces that must be easily accessible and visible from operator stations.
We design lighting, acoustics, and climate control to create an optimal working environment. Good lighting reduces eye strain, while effective acoustics can minimize distracting noises. Temperature and humidity controls help maintain a comfortable environment.
We position screens and information displays to ensure they can be easily read without causing strain. The design usually considers sight lines and angles to ensure visibility and readability from different parts of the room.
We incorporate safety and security features into our control room designs and adhere to accessibility standards to ensure that all personnel can operate effectively regardless of physical ability. These safety considerations include emergency exits, safety protocols, and ensuring the design complies with local and international regulations.
We plan the layout of the control room to optimize the workflow, ensuring that critical elements are within reach and that the movement within the space is efficient. This involves strategically placing equipment and furniture to facilitate easy communication and movement.
We consider future needs, allowing for scalability and adaptability as technology evolves or operational requirements change. This can involve modular components or spaces designed to be reconfigured as needed.
