In control room environments, milliseconds matter. One wrong move, a moment of distraction, or delayed decision-making can lead to serious operational consequences. That’s why designing with ergonomics in mind has become essential for future-proof command centers.
Ergonomics blends cognitive science and human-factor engineering to design systems that optimize brain performance under operational pressure. At Merino Control Room Solutions, we integrate ergonomic principles into the DNA of every console, worktop, and layout.
How We Embed ergonomics into Our Designs:
- Operator Sightlines: Our desks and video walls are aligned based on average eye-level and field-of-vision mapping, ensuring reduced eye strain and faster visual processing.
- Posture Optimization: Sit-stand consoles, footrests, and height-adjustable surfaces support healthy posture over long shifts.
- Minimalist Work Zones: By reducing unnecessary clutter and distractions, we improve focus and prevent cognitive overload.
- Environment Control: Acoustic paneling, thermal comfort, and lighting control all contribute to operator efficiency. Merino solutions incorporate sustainable materials with advanced environmental properties to enhance performance and comfort.
- Color Psychology & Lighting: Strategic use of calming tones and tunable lighting systems improves operator mood and alertness.
- Sound Control: With acoustic paneling and noise dampening surfaces, operators remain alert without being overstimulated.
- The result? Better decisions, faster responses, and a healthier work environment.
- Our mission is to design control rooms that are not only functionally superior but also mentally supportive of those who run them.
