In managing intensive operations, the specification of technical furniture for control centers and monitoring rooms This represents a strategic investment that directly impacts operational KPIs.. Check out the essential criteria to consider beyond the initial CAPEX, focusing on the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and the ROI of the solution.

1. Cable management system

Organized cabling infrastructure is fundamental to the reliability of the systemwhere the Data integrity and operational continuity are priorities.. An inadequate cable management plan can compromise the entire technological infrastructure, causing interference, equipment overheating, and significantly increasing the average repair time during corrective maintenance.

Ellan offers integrated cable management solutions with:

  • Categorized containment channels and identification system;

  • Concealed cable routing for easier maintenance;

  • An organization that prevents equipment from overheating.

2. Structural engineering and robustness

In critical environments such as control and operations centers, the reliability of the furniture is non-negotiable.. High-value and sensitive equipment demands an equally solid and secure foundation. to ensure integrity and peace of mind for ongoing, high-responsibility operations.

Ellan solutions are designed with a focus on maximum efficiency. strength and durability, incorporating:

  • High-performance materials, such as carbon steel, structural aluminum, and high-density wood, ensure a robust and stable construction;

  • Superior safety factor, ensuring adequate support for the installation of multiple monitors, servers, and other heavy equipment;

  • Certifications that ensure strength and durability in all components, from the main structure to the fastening details.

3. Modular architecture and scalability

The adaptability and growth capacity of physical infrastructure is an essential requirement in an environment that is constantly evolving, where The agility to incorporate new solutions can determine the competitive advantage of the operation. The modular architecture allows the control center to evolve with business needs, preventing premature obsolescence and enabling sector-specific upgrades without requiring a complete shutdown of operations.

Ellan develops modular systems that provide:

  • Standard fastening system for easy expansion;

  • Modules that can be expanded vertically and horizontally;

  • Full compatibility with 19″ rack;

  • Retrofit capability for new technologies.

4. Ergonomics applied to critical environments

In continuous control environments, Ergonomics is fundamental to the well-being and performance of operators. Poor ergonomics can result in eye strain, musculoskeletal problems, and reduced concentration, negatively impacting the quality of decisions made in critical situations.

Ellan stations are designed with:

  • Anthropometric measurements in accordance with NR-17 and international standards;

  • Optimized visual range zones;

  • Specialized technical lighting.

5. Integration with Management Systems

Modern control centers have evolved to integrate physical infrastructure with management systems, following the principles of Industry 4.0. Technical furniture should function as an integrating platform, capable of… To support smart sensors, monitoring systems, and interfaces with operational management platforms.

Ellan solutions prepare you for the future with:

  • Native compatibility with SCADA systems;

  • Infrastructure prepared for IIoT;

  • Integrated intelligent energy management;

  • Monitoring of environmental conditions.
