Control room solutions providers RGB Spectrum and Russ Bassett have announced a partnership intended to “transform the utility industry’s control room landscape”. Joining forces at DistribuTECH 2024, the two companies will display new products and technologies specifically designed for energy and utility environments.
Recently, RGB Spectrum’s focus has been on operator consoles, with its scalable XtendPoint KVM-over-IP solution, intended to expand the possibilities for sharing data and work output over networks. The system replaces the clutter of a multitude of single-use monitors with typically two multiviewers, and all inputs are controllable by a single keyboard and mouse. To further enhance the user experience, RGB is debuting 43in curved monitors for a unified, wraparound display surface.
Russ Bassett is renowned for its control consoles, so RGB Spectrum teamed with the company to enhance operator comfort and efficiency further. With adjustable surfaces and monitor heights, Russ Bassett’s consoles provide operators with optimal viewing positions, minimising strain and fatigue during extended shifts. Together, RGB Spectrum and Russ Bassett deliver an “optimal solution”, combining “cutting-edge” technology with ergonomic design, enabling utility operators to navigate complex environments confidently and precisely.
“Our partnership with Russ Bassett marks a significant milestone in our commitment to revolutionise control room solutions for the utility industry,” said Bob Marcus, CEO of RGB Spectrum. “By combining our expertise in audio-visual decision-support with Russ Bassett’s ergonomic console design, we empower utility operators to optimise workflows, minimise downtime, and drive greater operational success.”
