Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors
ProGroup is excited about the introduction of its Standard Console. The console is modular to an extent that it can be adapted and developed according to client requirements. In both design and aesthetics it conforms to the high standards ProGroup has set for itself, offering custom solutions for command and control facilities, from design and manufacture through installation.
Getting a thorough understanding of users unique requirements ensures that the command centre console design and furniture is suited to their specific needs. Penny Bond, CEO of ProGroup, explains. “Each phase of the design process includes multiple checkpoints to ensure we get the results we want. We can configure console units and options to meet the client’s exact requirements and detail it all in CAD drawings to ensure everything is properly accommodated in each project. We take great pride and care in the building, delivery, and installation of our products.”
Because command centres have become ubiquitous in small businesses, large corporations and even in apartment blocks, there are many different types of command centre consoles tailor-made for a client’s specific needs; these range from security consoles, surveillance consoles, video consoles and even computer and monitor consoles.
Bond concludes: “Wherever possible, we strive to offer our clients a cost effective way to achieve the results they desire. This even extends to the construction process. Where metal can create a cold, sterile atmosphere, the wood and metal construction of ProGroup’s consoles provides a comfortable, contemporary environment in which to work.”
