Evans Consoles Blog

Today, the need for oil is high. And as such, the oil and gas industry is constantly changing and adapting to new technologies to better serve customers. The oil and gas industry has many emerging trends that are welcomed largely by the operator. There are a few trends in the industry that are making their way to the norm.

Supervisors, managers, and directors are always looking for different ways to run theiroperation control centers at their fullest potential.The top 3 target improvements generally tend to be cost reduction, increase in quality, and time reduction to meet goals. Leadership teams consistently have these objectives top of mind when running their day-to-day operations and when designing or retrofitting their control rooms with new consoles and equipment.

This week’s blog post feature is from Terri D Sherman, winner of our Superhero contest.

9-1-1- operators, or “First” First Responders are the first point of contact when calling 9-1-1. They coordinate emergency response and most often give instructions to the panicked voices on the other side of the call.

Part 2 of our two-part series: Consoles vs Office Furniture.

When it comes to consoles and office furniture, the number one question asked: Is there really a difference between office furniture and consoles?

With the recent launch of EvansCare, we have been inundated with questions on what exactly is EvansCare.

Without proper workspace maintenance and cleaning, your consoles are at risk. From debris to dust and mold, dirty consoles become harmful to your employees’ health and safety, work environment, and equipment performance, not to mention being less durable over time. Your consoles, chairs, accessories, AV systems, and other equipment are an investment in your operations center – don’t you want it to stand the test of time?

Most people do not realize the important role acoustics play in a control room. It can have a humongous impact on employees and their performance.

The first ring of a 911 call breaks the control room's silence. At that moment, a critical person in the emergency response chain is activated – the public safety dispatcher. They are the unseen heroes who are the first point of contact in emergencies, the bridge between the public and the services they need.  

A dispatcher's shoulders hold a lot of responsibility—a life saved, a fire contained, a crime stopped—all potentially hinge on their ability to gather information, assess the situation, and dispatch the right help quickly and calmly. 

But what exactly makes a great dispatcher? It’s not just about answering calls and relaying information. It’s about possessing unique skills that allow them to thrive in a fast-paced and stressful environment.
