ENERGY & UTILITIES

The constant flow of video-rich data is a core requirement for safe and efficient operations in the Energy and Utility industries. Infrastructure and equipment requirements include mission-critical, reliable operation in demanding conditions and cyber security features that provide the highest level of identity management and restricted distribution to ensure security of the information and guard against insider threats.

Applications for high performance KVM and video extension and switching systems include:

  • Control Rooms (Primary and Remote/Backup)
  • Process Monitor Computer Systems (OAC – Operator Aid Computer)
  • Simulation and Training Facilities
  • Remote Monitoring Station
  • Visualization and Exploration
  • Security and Surveillance
  • Video Conferencing Centers

Global leaders in the Energy and Utilities market rely on Thinklogical for secure signal management systems that limit operational risk, improve workflow, and abide by regulatory compliance. Thinklogical solutions are able to relocate critical computing assets away from user desktops or extreme working conditions for increased reliability and security.

NUCLEAR CONTROL ROOM DIGITAL MODERNIZATION

Thinklogical products support the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) nuclear control room digital modernization recommendations for DKT (display-keyboard-trackball) technology that enables human factors improvements and reduces operational costs. Learn more at our dedicated nuclear resources webpage HERE.

911 & PUBLIC SAFETY

Public Safety Command & Control solutions from Thinklogical provides 911 call centers, emergency operations centers (EOC), and public safety answering points (PSAP) with next-generation features and capabilities, enabling real-time collaboration and information sharing,  enhanced situational awareness, and faster, better-informed responses. Thinklogical provides instant access to multiple PCs, servers and applications with no added video latency and immediate control system responsiveness, allowing users to make mission-critical decisions in seconds rather than minutes.

Features and Benefits

  • Immediate, real-time access to multiple applications, computers and video sources from a single keyboard and mouse
  • Share information and collaborate with a single keystroke
  • Enables instant situational awareness and faster response times
  • Seamless and instant screen and application selection by just moving the mouse from screen to screen. Provides intuitive access to multiple independent computer sources without manual switching or interrupting workflow
  • Low video latency and smooth control surface performance reduces operator fatigue, stress and errors
  • Allows PCs and servers to be back-racked for ease of maintenance and less foot traffic in operations center
  • Reduces workstation IT clutter, noise and heat and increases cyber security by replacing vulnerable USB ports, hard drives, and network cables
  • Reliable, redundant and resilient system architecture for maximum uptime in mission-critical, 24/7 applications
