Ergonomic Desk Design

Tailor Made Ergonomic Desk Design

Our Control Room Furniture can accommodate a variety of displays (differentiation in number and size), controllers, communication equipment, hard switches and other devices. We can help you tailor the desk to ensure a workstation that will be fit for the job.

With our scrum based design approach we connect relevant contractors, IT specialists and future operators. The common thread in these sessions is the operator task and how they perform their job. Another beacon is our integrated design thinking. The end result will be a clean desk which provides the operator overview and the relevant equipment within reach.

The desk configurator is based on an expedition model with clear goals and defined steps, connection technology, organization and people. The result is an operator workplace where operators are in control of a safe, effective and efficient operational process. And an operator console that meets ergonomic standards like described in ISO 11064-4.

• Number and size of displays
• Cockpit design including type and position of input devices like hardwired switches, touch panels or joysticks.
• Desk monitors versus touch panel versus videowall
• Healthy working postures
• Lines of sight
• Reaching zones

Interested in an Ergonomic Desk Design Analysis?

Would you like to know more about our ergonomic desk design Analysis? We are able to help you with a complete desk design including viewing angles etc. To experience the desk we can provide a 3D concept, a demo desk and/or build a mock-up. Please contact us and let us know what you are looking for.

Step 1: Task Analysis

The first design session starts with the identification of tasks, relevant information and ways of interaction. What information is needed to make the right decisions? What information is shared? How do they communicate? How frequently are the tasks performed, how important is each task?

In this session we list the systems and the equipment that provides the information to the operator and check how the operator communicates with these systems. 

Step 3: Mock-up or demo

Would you like to learn more about the effect of good viewing angles and reaching zones or do you prefer checking the 3D concept design behind a real desk? Ops Factor can provide a demo desk or build a mock-up to let operators experience the workstation and come to a final design. Please contact us for more information.
