Control station system – up to date








Control stations are used for various working areas in the field of control and safety: In communication centres, production, power plants, network control stations, control centres for power and water supply, fire brigades, rescue, traffic and buildings.

Videotaping systems, radio message systems, alarm sensors, video control, network systems, common wave systems, computers, TFT monitors, radio systems, documentation equipment etc. require a perfect integration of the technical equipment. Furthermore, the operating and display units have to be arranged ergonomically.

For this reason control stations are more than only a storage space for the hardware today. Technics may not be a burden for the high performance users of these work stations. Therefore, when developing and designing control stations, Leuwico attaches importance to a reasonable integration of the technics instead of hiding it. The required high flexibility demands modular furnishing systems for customized configurations. Conclusive design, mo-dern shapes and the creative accentuation of the basic principle are characteristic for the appearance. A positive aspect: The height adjustment as component of the programme. With simple adjustment mechanisms the single components can be adapted to the users, the tasks and the habits. This is an important criteria especially for control stations in order to fulfil the requirements for shift-working and desk sharing. Another advantage which should not be ignored: the change of the working position supports concentration and helps to prevent discomfort caused by a lack of movement and onesided strain.

Rectangular, hexagonal and curved basic shapes build a modular system. Manual or electric height adjustments enable any possible height for the work surfaces. The integration of digital and analogue technique into technic boxes and control panel housings gives the work stations a modern and light appearance. Monitor rails, add-on shelves, work place lighting, loudspea-kers and ventilators complete this system.

The programmes fulfil the more and more diversified requirements. Important criteria: The optimal solution varies individually, therefore, the different functions can be combined freely in order to offer a maximum of flexibility and space for the user.
