Specialized dispatch furniture is an integral part of dispatch operations.A dispatch console can be entirely custom designed to meet the specific needs of the activity,or bought off-the-shelf with an expectation that the product will meet most of the operators'needs.Managers and designers often think that purchasing pre-fabricated dispatch furniture for their control room or dispatch facility is a quick solution.However,they may not realize that the"one-size-fits-all"approach doesn't work well when operators are asked to work long hours tethered to their consoles.
A control room console design should be tailored to operational requirements and the specific needs of the operator.An operator's long working hours require that the furniture be designed in a versatile and ergonomic manner.
Customization is the best choice in this case as it enables you to develop the precise design that you want.Custom consoles allow you to integrate accessories and storage space,include desktop lifts for sit-stand,and alter the dimensions and shape of the console and much more.
Another option is to add custom logo panels to the console exterior end panels.These logos add a unique touch and create a since of employee pride in the organization.
Let's discuss the different dispatch console designs:
Concentric arc workstation:This dispatch console,as the name suggests,has a concentric profile.It has a separate area for the monitor and keyboard.The length,depth of the arcs,and the desktop space can easily be customized to meet specific requirements.
120-degree workstation:This particular dispatch console design resembles a cockpit.The 120-degree curvature helps save space,and puts everything on the workstation within comfortable reaching distance of the operator.This model also features an optional power assisted table lift which smoothly and quietly raises and lowers the table at the push of a button.
Split level workstation:This dispatch console design features a separate work surface for the monitor and keyboard.These workstations can typically be accessed from the front and rear,and they are a popular choice for sit-stand operations in many dispatch facilities.
90-degree workstation:The 90-degree(L-shape)dispatch console makes it a popular choice for placement in the corner of the room.It's typically a larger console housing a more equipment items.This console design can also be placed end to end to form a large U-shaped formation that can seat two operators.
I have described the primary control room console designs.Customization allows you to refine the design and include features specific to the application and budget.Your chosen console provider can offer you specifics and provide room layouts from which to choose.
