CONTROL ROOM INSIDE

Touch instead of buttons! Convenience instead of compromise! Overview instead of overload! Who wants old-fashioned keyboards and other relics from the past that make life difficult? At the IT control center of Bausparkasse Schwäbisch Hall, they follow a clear course: the processes in the affiliated data center are monitored using state-of-the-art JST technology.

Securing energy flows, monitoring systems, keeping processes running – control rooms are the nerve centers of digital transformation. Whether in power plants or data centers, modern control rooms analyze huge amounts of data in real time. What technologies are needed? What changes are happening as a result of AI and optimized human-machine interfaces?

Role reversal! Dirk Lüders is usually the one asking the questions. Today, the host of the JST podcast ‘Control room inside’ is taking on a new perspective. In conversation with Holger Winkler, the latest vodcast episode of ‘#ITundTECH’ focuses on ‘control room knowledge for professionals’ and where this can be found in concentrated and universal form – ideally free of charge!

The LED wall is becoming the new shooting star in the control room scene. Flexible scalability, brilliant colours and high quality – this visualisation solution is developing into a real high-flyer for 24/7 use. In the control room simulator, which is unique in Europe, the control center professionals from JST demonstrate what makes the LED wall so special.

It is the innovative beacon, the figurehead, the epicenter of JST: the Control Room Simulator 2.0. Cool blue light, large-screen displays on multiple video walls and powerful technical workstations – an environment that transports every workshop guest directly into the future. It’s all about the complete package – strong concepts for great projects!

No one was as close as he was! Carsten Jungmann opens his treasure chest and spills the beans! In the podcast ‘Control Room Inside,’ host Dirk Lüders welcomes the company founder. Anyone who wants to travel back to the turn of the millennium with the two of them and is curious about the future of control rooms is guaranteed to be in for a treat.

It needs to be future-proof and efficient – technology in the nerve centers of the economy: in control rooms. However, as soon as experts begin talking about ‘end of life’ or ‘end of service’ and the associated performance losses, many executives start to worry. That doesn’t have to be the case! Early and accurate analysis brings stability and resilience.

The industry’s dilemma: On the one hand, decades-old systems; on the other, the desire for modern technology applications. Karsten Sanders from Dow explains how these apparent contradictions come together in the control room. In the podcast ‘Control Room Inside’, host Dirk Lüders takes a look behind the scenes at the chemical company.

Sun, wind, water, storage technology – the energy transition and resource conservation pose real challenges even for big players in the industry. It’s good to have smart minds who are happy to think outside the box – and deliver convincing results! Example: the ‘Multidesk’, a single workstation that can do just about anything.

In the new podcast series ‘Control Room Inside’, host and control center expert Dirk Lüders interviews real insiders. To kick things off, Andreas Rott gives us a glimpse into a new open-cast mining control room at RWE Power AG. And there’s more to come soon, with forward-looking technologies, groundbreaking developments and lots of control room expertise.

If Captain Kirk had had the choice, his preferred place of work would probably not have been the Enterprise, but the command bridge of Carnival Maritime’s Fleet Operations Center. In Hamburg, the cruise company has teamed up with JST to create a high-tech control room whose ’crew’ keeps an eye on the oceans of our planet.

We listened carefully to what thousands of operators told us. We brought together their wishes, experiences and requirements. The result: the HeliosX. With this innovative control room workstation, JST provides a stand-alone solution for the control room, a console that combines all the requirements for a self-sufficient workplace.

We did it! Jungmann Systemtechnik has moved into new headquarters in Neu Wulmstorf, and all colleagues have been working diligently to assist with the transition. Why the relocation? Parallel to the demand for innovative control room solutions, the JST team is also growing. Highlight: the probably most modern control room simulator in Europe!

The creative spirit of the JST control room pros has once again impressed the jury of the TOP 100 Innovation Award. At the award ceremony, science journalist Ranga Yogeshwar summed it up perfectly: ‘Innovation is not something you have. It is a process that you constantly have to keep at.’ We say ‘thank you’ and promise: we will stay on the ball!

Economic pressure is mounting. The number of skilled workers is falling. Not a good combination! To counteract this, RWE Power AG has decided to take effective action. Three formerly independent control rooms have been merged into a central control room. The result: improved overview, maximum flexibility and clever use of human resources.
