Modern control room furniture needs to be reliable, secure and comfortable to work at. Operators work long shifts at their workstations and use multi monitor setups. Often, they find themselves switching back and forth between different keyboards and mouse, each connected to a different computer or system.
Maintaining focus is paramount, so to empower the operator, control consoles integrate technology into their design. This aspect is what separates them from ordinary office furniture. Below are some benefits of technology integration in control consoles to help 911 dispatchers, operators and call takers to stay productive and focused in the control center.
1. Enhancing System Performance
CPU Storage Space: Sufficient CPU storage space is crucial for high-performance operations. It ensures that the dispatch center functions without interruptions by protecting the IT equipment from unauthorized access.
Low-Noise Thermostatic Fans: Implementing low-noise thermostatic fans helps prevents the IT equipment from overheating after long hours of use. By combining this with the CPU enclosure's ventilated doors, it maximizes airflow inside the console.

2. Ensuring System Reliability
Electrical Raceways Implementation: The purpose of electrical raceways is to protect cables as they are routed through the console, but also to separate high voltage from low voltage cables. This is to avoid having electromagnetic interference and jeopardizing operations.
Cable Management Solutions (Cable Chains): Cable chains allow for more than just better organization of cables. Since control consoles come with height adjustable worksurfaces, cable chains protect cables while the worksurfaces are in motion. This reduces the risk of accidents.
Retractable Outlet Monument: The incorporation of retractable outlet monuments provides easy access to power and data. This feature allows dispatchers to connect various devices conveniently on the worksurface. When not in use, the outlet can remain hidden.
3. Improving Workplace Ergonomics
Integrated Heaters and cooling fans: Integrated heaters and cooling fans give operators the chance of increasing their comfort while working at the control console. Heaters can be installed at the base for lower body comfort, while fans can be integrated in the worksurface for upper body comfort.
Actuators for height adjustability: heavy duty actuators are installed on the workstation to elevate the worksurfaces throughout the day. These can be controlled with an integrated keypad on the worksurface.
