The control console is the core of the operator or dispatcher's automated workstation. The work surface houses controls and equipment: keyboards, manipulators, switches, video monitoring systems, communication panels, and auxiliary devices. The console's design should provide an ergonomic workspace for 24/7 operation, easy access to equipment, and comfortable work with large volumes of information.
Modern control panels and operator consoles are used in situation centers, control rooms, energy, oil and gas, transportation infrastructure, and security services. Workstation configurations are customized based on the room's features, the number of operators, and the equipment used.
Types of control panels
Depending on the technical specifications and characteristics of the control center, the following types of structures are used:
- Front-end control panels These are used in situations where controls are located within the operator's direct reach, and information displays are within the operator's central and peripheral vision. These solutions are in demand in situation centers, oil pipeline control rooms, security structures, and monitoring centers.
- U-shaped and trapezoidal operator consoles These are used for large numbers of equipment and control channels. This arrangement ensures highly ergonomic workstations and ease of operation of multiple systems simultaneously. Such control panels are often used in power engineering, regional control centers, and central control centers.
- Semicircular and radius control panels Designed with video walls and display systems in mind, the design can feature a convex or concave tabletop, providing a comfortable viewing angle and efficient space organization.
Buying a control panel – how is the price calculated?
The cost of a control console is calculated individually and depends on the workstation configuration, the number of operators, the equipment used, cable management requirements, video wall integration, and the operating mode. Before designing, DISSOL specialists analyze the room's features, technical processes, and ergonomic requirements.
When developing operator consoles, factors that influence operator workload are taken into account: information flow intensity, shift length, equipment interactions, and safety requirements. This approach enables the creation of control panels for efficient and continuous operation 24/7.
DISSOL manufactures custom-designed control panels and operator consoles with delivery in Moscow and throughout Russia.
