Sit-Stand Consoles: Trend or Fad?

Sit-stand consoles have been around for quite a few years now. As we see the popularity increase we can obviously see that this is a growing trend and not just a fad. A trend is something that solves a problem and gets stronger over time. A fad however is something that is popular for a short period of time and then fades out quickly. Case in point, this blog post. We are updating this post on Sit-Stand Consoles from 2019 as the trend is seemingly getting even stronger since then.

Control Room Sit-Stands are here to stay

So this is not just a trend, sit-stand consoles are here to stay for a variety of reasons. With growing evidence to its benefits, it’s not hard to see why they are becoming increasingly popular in control rooms around the world. To summarize: sit-stand consoles allow operators to adjust the height to their preference for sitting or standing positions while they work. 

Control room “operation center” supervisors, managers, and directors are always looking for different ways to run their operation centers at its 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.

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 cleaning and maintenance, 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.
