Stormarn District Control Centre - IRLS South

The customer and the result

The district of Stormarn operates the Integrated Regional Control Centre South in Bad Oldesloe, which is responsible for the greater Lübeck area and the east and south of Schleswig-Holstein. With increasing responsibility, partly due to the Fehmarn Belt Tunnel project, the importance of a modern, high-performance control centre has grown considerably. As part of a new building project, a state-of-the-art control centre was created that meets the highest ergonomic and technical requirements.

Together with Knürr GmbH, a solution was developed that combines functionality, design and future-proofing:

The initial situation and challenge

The state of Schleswig-Holstein operates three integrated regional control centres (IRLCs). The IRLC South required a complete rebuild in order to meet the increasing demands on communication and operations management. The building was constructed to a high architectural standard, which placed high demands on the design, functionality and individuality of the control centre furniture.

The Knürr solution – TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS

Knürr integrated a comprehensive control centre solution consisting of intuitive control technology, customised workstations and complementary accessories. The focus was on innovative and future-proof technology, intuitive ease of use, room acoustics and design.

Products and services supplied:

• >40 Knürr® Ergocon control centre workstations for various functional areas (including call takers and dispatchers), including height and depth adjustment of the monitor level

• Intuitive Knürr® Ergocontrol OPX workstation control system

• Planning, installation and commissioning

• Special paint finishes and customised designs according to the planner's specifications

• Improved room acoustics through acoustic absorbers at the workstation

The result and the benefit

The new IRLS South offers employees significantly improved working conditions. The ergonomic design of the workstations enables fatigue-free working and contributes to lower sick leave rates. The well-thought-out design creates a pleasant atmosphere that promotes concentration and efficiency.

The project was implemented within just three months and received positive feedback from architects and planners. Due to the high quality, a redensification of the control centre rooms is already planned.
