Leading control room furniture manufacturer Winsted
has equipped a stunning new control room at Bulgaria’s leading security
provider SOT 161 (COT).
Specialising in delivering a highly
professional and focused range of security services, SOT is Bulgaria’s largest
security provider, with 4,500 security staff, protecting over 85,000 sites
across the country, managed centrally from their National Operations Centre in
Sofia. The centre operational 24/7, 365
days a year monitors the assets of numerous companies and properties, including
Embassy residencies, Governmental buildings, Banks, High Street Stores, Sports
Facilities, Hotels, car dealerships, offices and ATM’s.
It was realised by SOT that the
ability of their staff operating effectively in the control room was a major
factor influencing the response time and outcome of incidents, so an ergonomic
solution was a must. Winsted were
invited to provide ideas for the control rooms’ furniture requirements, and
produced computer aided design (CAD) drawings and colour renders giving a
complete visualisation of the project.
While great importance was given to workstations having
an optimum ergonomic design, the use of space and aesthetics were also
important considerations in selecting the correct console design and room
layout for the control room.
Winsted proposed and delivered a solution based upon a Prestige
Sight-Line console, with a stand-alone M-View media wall selected for its modern
aesthetics perfect for this contemporary looking environment. The
consoles design allow for 19” rack mounted electronic equipment, and use of
Winsted’s Versa-Trak display mounting system for ergonomic comfort and
adjustability. Combined with VESA-compliant brackets, Versa-Trak has enabled
screens to be easily attached and provides horizontal and vertical
adjustability for optimal viewing angles and sight lines for the operating
staff.
Also incorporated into the
consoles design was enhanced cable management system consisting of a large
dual-cable raceway hidden inside the console, keeping all cables hidden from
view, but easily accessible.
‘The aim of the new control room
was to create a solution that meets the current requirements and at the same
time be flexibly extended for future requirements’ commented Darren Allen,
Winsted’s European Sales Manager. ‘The consoles combined with the modern
interior really give the room the wow factor.’
