Making Sure You Get The Right Control Room Consoles

By Jeanette Riggs


There are a variety of office scenarios out there and some are a bit more chaotic or complicated than others. Take the typical air traffic control tower or 911 emergency center. Each of these places uses control room consoles and desk stations that handle multiple staff members to ensure the most work gets done as quickly as possible and information is shared quickly.

Smaller centers work well for company IT departments. A simple long desk with four to five computer stations on it will do the job. This way each of the staffers can sit next to each other and do their job without having to communicate through email or walk to another office. Of course this is just one example, and a small one at that.

Critical call centers or control rooms are more prevalent than you might think. Take for instance any water control installation, 911 emergency center, a dispatch center for a large distribution company or even a train monitoring and routing station. There are a large variety of operations that require such a setup to make sure the job gets done properly.

Many of these different styles of control centers offer the same multiple options yet all fit into different roles. Just as this is true, so is it that the stations can be set up with a variety of different options as well. For example there are a huge selection of monitor sizes and types to accommodate a variety of special needs.

Consider huge operations like the one at NASA. They have a great deal of monitors, large screens, various networks and wireless communications centers, and desks for everyone. The wires, plugs, and connectors alone in a center such as that one would be enough to outfit en entire neighborhood of homes. You company might not need something that extravagant however.

It is because of this individual approach that the customer service should be top notch and able and willing to help you with any of your needs during and after the entire process. A great example of this service is when working out the peripherals. All the various little things like the computers, the software and even the types of phones that will be used. They should be able to assist you with it all.

People need to remember that in centers like these you will need the ultimate in computer-human interaction and communication. In order for this to happen everything must be perfect. The systems all integrated and networked and every station should be able to communicate and work together without any issues whatsoever.

These control room consoles might serve a variety of purposes but they are all important. No matter how small or how large, they are all usually 24 hour a day operations and are vital to whatever industry they serve. From NASA to a water treatment facility or even a 911 center, each of these control rooms are extremely important.
