Next-Gen Console Design

challenges and solutions for integrators

You’re leading a control room upgrade project, and your budget, console design, and overall plan are due by Friday – no big deal, right?

Except you’re stuck choosing consoles straight from the dial-up era, with ergonomics that scream “backache incoming,” support staff who reply once every leap year, and assembly instructions straight out of IKEA nightmares.

With the clock ticking, you need consoles that are intuitive, ergonomic, and custom-designed for your 24/7 operations. Oh, and let’s not forget—you also need pricing details and specs clear enough to instantly satisfy your procurement team’s endless “enthusiasm.”

What’s your next move? Go.

Control room projects typically form just one part of larger infrastructure initiatives, meaning the majority of attention—and budget—is often directed toward critical technology and infrastructure upgrades.

This leaves control room furniture decisions at risk of falling behind, turning each budget delay into lost days, forcing teams into last-minute scrambles to source consoles that match project timelines and operational demands.

Sound familiar? You wouldn’t be the first team to call Tresco only after infrastructure and technology were locked down, realizing too late that the furniture design hasn’t even started.

In fact, we frequently step in at precisely that point—when deadlines loom, procurement meetings spin in circles, and you need a trusted partner to rescue your timeline with speed, expertise, and a proven ability to deliver under pressure.

Let’s cut to the chase. Here are the main headaches, designers, Integrators, project Owners, and procurement professionals consistently face, and exactly how Tresco’s upcoming product will solve them:

Console Design Solutions That Actually Work

Schedule

Forget designer-to-designer-to-manager ping-pong. Tresco’s upcoming innovation lets you take charge with intuitive, zero-learning-curve tools. You become the designer instantly—no cumbersome software downloads, no bulky manuals. Design in hours, not weeks.

Knowledge

You don’t have to become an overnight expert in ISO 11064 standards, ergonomics, or complex industry regulations—that’s our job. With decades of hands-on experience across mission-critical environments, we understand exactly what your control room needs. Lean on our expertise to ensure every detail, from operator comfort to compliance, is handled efficiently, letting you focus on managing the bigger picture.

Visuals

Instantly edit and visualize your console designs in real-time. Show stakeholders exactly what they’re getting—no more explaining that it’ll “totally fit” or that “it’ll look great, trust me!” One-click adjustments and instant visuals make stakeholder meetings refreshingly painless.

Pricing

Receive immediate, detailed quotes as you design your console. No more chasing designers, no lengthy approval loops. Get comprehensive, procurement-team-friendly specs instantly, freeing up time for more important things—like actually getting approvals.

Reassurance

Tresco has faced every control room challenge imaginable across more than four decades working exclusively on mission critical 24/7 use furniture projects. Our consoles outlasted CRTs and that awkward transition from floppy disks to cloud storage, consistently delivering reliability, enhancing operator health, comfort, and performance, while preventing costly operator mistakes.

The future is here: Why innovation matters

Control rooms are evolving rapidly. Yet, companies still clinging to outdated furniture risk operational inefficiencies, compromised operator performance, and ultimately, costly downtimes. Imagine trying to run your operations in 2030 with consoles designed in 1990—awkward doesn’t begin to cover it.

Innovation isn’t just a fancy word—it’s survival. Future-focused control rooms demand furniture that’s adaptable, intuitive, and ready to seamlessly integrate with emerging technology. Falling behind isn’t an option.

Tresco’s new solution eliminates today’s frustrations and anticipates tomorrow’s operational demands, empowering you to stay ahead of evolving expectations.

Ready to ditch control room stress, break free from outdated processes, and leap forward decades in console design and innovation?

Stay tuned as Tresco changes the game—trust us, this one’s going to be good. (Your operators and your Project Team will thank you.)
