When it comes to designing efficient and ergonomic control room environments, Sustema offers a range of high-quality consoles tailored to meet diverse operational needs. The two standout models in our lineup are the Transit and Focus control room consoles. Shown respectively below.
The Transit consoles are highly favored in Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) centers for dispatchers and supervisors, offering robust construction and ample storage, but they are also used heavily in industries that are not public safety, like are traffic control, utilities and power generation, military applications, security control rooms, cyber security, and other mission-critical environments.
The Focus consoles are ideal for environments with limited floor space, providing a compact yet versatile solution. On top of their usefulness in PSAPs, these consoles are also preferred by companies in the financial sector and trading floors, banking, security and cyber security control rooms, mining operations, air traffic control, and many other applications requiring an optimized floorplan without compromising on quality and durability.
Below are the unique features and advantages of each model.
Transit Control Consoles: The Preferred Choice for PSAP Centers
The Transit control consoles are highly favored in Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) centers, catering to the needs of dispatchers and supervisors. They are available in the linear and cockpit configuration. The linear console evokes the look a more traditional workstation, while the cockpit control consoles are designed to create an immersive workspace by wrapping around the operator. This design is particularly beneficial in environments where quick access to controls and a high degree of situational awareness are crucial.
Here are some key features and benefits:
Dual Surfaces: Operators benefit from having 2 worksurfaces, the primary worksurface offers plenty of space for peripherals, while the secondary worksurface supports the monitor arrangement. These consoles can accommodate up to 10 monitors, providing a comprehensive view of all necessary information and controls.
Robust Construction: Made entirely of steel and high-pressure laminate, these consoles are solid and durable. The steel substructure prevents the worksurface from bending over time and supports the weight of the equipment.
Versatile Design: Available in various shapes and sizes, such as 90° and 120°, the Transit consoles can be customized to fit different room layouts and operational needs.
Ample Storage: They offer extensive storage options, including various CPU enclosures underneath the console’s worksurface. This allows for efficient organization and easy access to IT equipment.
Cable Management: While they can include a wall system for cable management, it's not a necessity.
Electrical Raceways: Integrated electrical raceways provide a streamlined solution for managing power and data cables within the console’s structure.
Ergonomic Design: The wrap-around shape reduces the need for operators to move around, enhancing comfort and efficiency during long shifts.
Focus Control Consoles: Ideal for PSAP Centers and Beyond
The Focus control consoles are commonly used in Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) centers, and are also suitable for environments with limited floor space. Outside of their use in emergency control centers, they are found in trading floors, banking, security control rooms, mining, air traffic control, education settings, etc. Here are some key features and benefits:
Compact Design: The Focus consoles are designed to maximize efficiency in limited spaces. Thanks to their minimal footprint, linear consoles maximize the efficiency of the available real estate in any center.
Sturdy Construction: Like other Sustema consoles, the Focus models are built with robust materials, ensuring durability and long-lasting performance.
Fixed Height: These consoles feature a fixed height, providing a stable and consistent work surface for operators.
Cable Management: Equipped with a wall system for cable management, the Focus consoles help maintain a clean and organized workspace.
Versatile Configuration: While the Focus consoles are linear, they can be arranged in a "U" shape to fit different room layouts and operational needs.
Single Surface: The fixed single surface is designed to accommodate multiple monitors and equipment, enhancing functionality and ease of use.
Easy Reconfiguration: The linear shape allows for easy reconfiguration, making it a popular choice for control rooms with plans for expansion.
How these consoles are used in control rooms
Sustema's Transit and Focus control room consoles can be seamlessly integrated within the same control room, offering a versatile and efficient workspace tailored to various operational needs.
By using different layouts, such as linear arrangements for the Focus consoles and customized shapes like 90° or 120° for the Transit consoles, you can create a cohesive environment that maximizes both space and functionality.
This flexibility allows for the accommodation of multiple roles within the same room. For example, in a 911 emergency communications center it ensures that dispatchers, supervisors, and call takers all have the optimal setup to perform their duties effectively.
