Future meets ergonomics: The Knürr Ergocon® Circular for modern 24/7 control rooms

Tim Holzapfel
CEO, Knürr GmbH

In a world in which data streams are constantly increasing and safety-critical decisions have to be made in real time, the demands on control centres and control rooms are also constantly increasing. Whether in public safety control centres, industrial control rooms or safety-relevant infrastructures - it's all about precision, overview, resilience and efficiency. And above all: the people who work in them.

With our new Knürr Ergocon® Circular, we are setting a strong example for the future of these demanding working environments. The system combines the latest ergonomic standards with an intelligent technical infrastructure - developed for 24/7 use under real conditions.

Rethinking ergonomics - for maximum attention around the clock

A key feature of the Ergocon® Circular is the circular workstation arrangement. It not only ensures optimum viewing distances, but is also ideal for the use of curved screens and complex multi-monitor setups. The ergonomic design follows a holistic approach:

  • Multidimensional adjustment options for desk height, monitor height and viewing distance enable precise adjustment to the needs of each individual - whether for day, night or alternating shifts.

  • The electric height adjustment with memory function makes switching between users quick, easy and convenient.

This creates a working environment that not only withstands physical strain, but also actively contributes to concentration and performance.

Technical integration that thinks for itself

The challenges in control rooms are constantly changing - and so is the IT landscape. The Knürr Ergocon® Circular is therefore designed to keep pace with these developments:

  • The KVM-ready technology substructure enables the smooth connection of modern IT structures and supports the centralisation of operator stations.

  • The modular design allows customised configurations - for new plans as well as for the conversion of existing control rooms.

An integrated cable management system not only keeps everything organised, but also significantly reduces the effort required for maintenance and expansion - a real plus in efficiency during operation.

Sustainability meets design

We also think ahead when it comes to sustainability: a passive ventilation system reduces noise pollution and supports the thermal relief of the installed IT components. This protects people and materials in equal measure.

The Ergocon® Circular is also visually appealing: with modern colour schemes and design options, the workstation can be seamlessly integrated into any architecture - functional and representative at the same time.

Summary:

The Knürr Ergocon® Circular is more than just a workstation system. It is a sophisticated platform for efficient, ergonomic and future-proof working in safety-critical control rooms.

If you want to make your control centre or control room fit for the future - talk to us. We develop solutions that think ahead.
