Operator Workstations and Control Room Furniture Improve Operator Effectiveness

CGM has an alliance with ABB in which they sell their highly sophisticated operator workstations and desks -- really advanced furniture and diplays for control rooms using the latest research in ergonomics.  If you think that investing in the control room furniture and displays is just a cost and adds no value, consider the impact on your operators.  They recently did a study on tired drivers versus drunk drivers and found out that driving while tired is pretty much the same as driving while drunk.  If you apply that logic to your control system operators then you start to get the picture.  The right furniture can improve operator effectiveness and increase operator alertness.
