How to set up an efficient control room: Ellan solutions in consoles, technical furniture and ergonomics

In monitoring centre operations, every detail matters—from monitor placement to workbench height. A poorly designed control room can undermine critical decisions, cause operator fatigue and even lead to operational failures.

Ellan is a national benchmark in technical furniture and industrial furniture, offering bespoke solutions aligned with standards such as Brazilian NR-17 and ISO 11064, ensuring comfort, efficiency and durability for 24/7 environments.
