So, you still don’t agree that a power adjustable flat desktop that lifts the entire dispatch console is superior to a split-level desktop with separately controlled power adjustments. After all, so many users can’t be wrong! Alright, then let me add that Americon makes the best split-level dispatch console on the market. But, how can that be after what I’ve just said against the split-level concept? True, we are not big believers in split-level dispatch consoles, however we make them in order to remain competitive and maintain our position in the growing dispatch console industry. In our favor, we have the benefit of over 30 years experience designing and manufacturing control room consoles for all industries including dispatch, and from that experience we bring a broader view of console furniture design and it’s applications to a wide variety of environments. This means that we don’t look at dispatch furniture design the same way that other manufacturers do. Otherwise, we’ve learned what works and what doesn’t and we’re not blinded by the paradigms existing within our industry.
We have drawn clear differences in how we design our dispatch consoles and the materials we use to make them. This means superior functionality, smarter equipment storage solutions, and products that look newer and last longer than any product on the market. The things we feel are important to operators include:
- Plenty of work space and leg room
- Full monitor adjustability
- Ample personal storage
- Radio and electronics accessibility
- Placing keyboards directly in front of the monitors
- Fast and easy transition from sit to stand
- Easy access to phones, stored hardware and cables
- Full task light adjustability with bright lighting
- Comfortable personal cooling and heating
- Sound abatement
- Comfortable, adjustable chair designed for 7/24 use
Our research shows that operators begin their shift by setting up their dispatch consoles to their individual preferences. The tools have to be in the right place or the operator is uncomfortable and less efficient. Monitors should be mounted on adjustable arms and pre-programmed lifting surfaces should be in place. Recognizing that leg room is extremely important, Americon has developed a dispatch furniture without the metal legs typical of table systems. Americon builds all of the lifting components into its robust base with front and rear access and space for CPUs. The ample space under the work surface is free of obstructions so that the operator has more area within which to work. Additional freestanding cabinets can be added to either side to house peripherals and drawer storage.
Americon also uses a unique surface material that is more durable than conventional laminates. This means less scratching, no chipping and no stripping away like with conventional laminates. As a result, Americon dispatch consoles will look newer longer, and last longer than other dispatch consoles.
I can go into more detail, but I think I have made my point. However, the “proof is in the pudding” as they say. So, contact me to set up a showroom visit, or to discuss how our products can meet your requirements.
