Crenlo expands lineup of Emcor air traffic control tower products

Oct. 11, 2011 - PRLog -- ROCHESTER, Minn. (October 11, 2011) — Crenlo is pleased to announce that they have expanded their lineup of Emcor® console products for the air traffic control (ATC) market. New cabinet height options and available slat walls boast improved usability and ergonomics, while providing the flexibility to accommodate changes in the control tower design and layout.

With a lower 21-inch available cabinet height and a separate bench-style work surface, the new configuration options provide excellent visibility for controllers by increasing visible window space and positioning the console closer to the glass. The reduced footprint and increased flexibility also serve to reduce operator reach distance and improve ergonomics.

“By offering new additions to our ATC product line, we are focusing on making a product flexible enough to meet the evolving design philosophies of the FAA, while improving operator comfort and workstation usability,” said Jerry Krause, manager of ATC and government sales at Crenlo. “We are committed to anticipating the technological advancements in the ATC market and creating consoles and enclosures to meet the needs of the FAA of the future.”

With a continuous slat wall positioned above the work surface, operators are easily able to accommodate change by moving the monitor elsewhere in the tower without the significant disassembly associated with the traditional, fixed turret system. The use of articulating arm mounts also allows operators to angle monitors to meet their individual ergonomic needs, keeping users comfortable and productive throughout each shift.

As with all of Crenlo’s console and enclosure products, the Emcor ATC product line is completely modular and can be configured with a range of accessories to meet the needs of almost any customer. For those needs that fall outside the standard Emcor product offerings, Crenlo can modify standard products or build completely custom solutions to meet the needs of any customer.

“What differentiates Crenlo from others serving the ATC market is our wide range of standard products and custom capabilities,” said Greg Wetzel, general manager of enclosures at Crenlo. “In addition to consoles, we offer a range of rack and enclosure options to house and protect critical electronic components in a range of settings, making us a one-stop shop for any FAA client.”

Crenlo has a long tradition of leadership in providing consoles and enclosures used in air traffic control. From towers to TRACONS to RAPCONS, Crenlo’s ATC installations span the nation and the world.

Crenlo’s expanded ATC product offering was unveiled last week at the ATCA conference. To learn more, visit www.crenlo.com/enclosures.
