Photo 1 | JST control room concept: With the new integrated control center, Stadtwerke Gießen was able to combine its two previous power supply control centers. Workstations that meet the latest technical and ergonomic requirements, as well as a carefully thought-out room concept and proactive visualisation of the various systems characterise the control room.
Photo 2 | JST operator desk: Extremely stable Stratos X11® control room desks, specially designed for 24/7 shift operation, offer the operator fatigue-free working. Special emphasis is placed on ample legroom, smoothly adjustable height via electric motor and concealed cable routing with tidy installation of all the technical equipment. The AlarmLight behind the monitors can be set in any colour and can change colour on an event-driven basis in critical situations.
Photo 3 | Monitor articulated arms: The workstation monitors are equipped with height-adjustable 3D articulated arms, in this case supplied by the customer. JST supplied the matching monitor columns. This combination enables an optimal and easily adjustable viewing angle and viewing distance on all displays due to its parabolic arrangement.

Photo 6 | JST control center furniture: Visual appearance and design are also very important for Jungmann products. Here is a side view of the Stratos operator consoles, designed in the corporate design of Stadtwerke Gießen at the customer's request.
Photo 7 | JST control room planning: Not only did technology and furniture play a decisive role in the conceptual design of the new integrated control center; JST's control room professionals also thought to include a glare-free lighting option.
Photo 8 | JST DisplayWall®: Perfect in design and workmanship – the DisplayWall®. Design strips with high-quality aluminium brushed surfaces and the AlarmLight give the monitor wall a special look. The 46 inch LCD displays were perfectly fitted into the sound-absorbing covering of the large display screen.
Photo 9 | JST control room: Perfect coordination of technology and design - the colours of the lighting - shown here in blue - on the Stratos X11® OperatorDesk and on the Videowall can be freely and intuitively selected. In the case of high-priority alarms, the colour changes according to the event (e.g. to red) to signal to the operator that they must act immediately.
Photo 10 | JST control center: Fitted into the multifunctional covering of the large display screen: The speakers for acoustic alarms were integrated to be flush with the screen.
Photo 11 | JST large display wall covering: In the integrated control center of Stadtwerke Gießen, the cladding of the large display screen not only reduces the noise level in the control room, but also offers additional storage space thanks to its multifunctional design with hinged doors.
Photo 12 | JST control room: Well thought-out down to the last detail - the DisplayWall® with design strips with high-quality aluminium brushed surfaces and AlarmLight also creates visual highlights in the new control room.
Photo 13 | JST MultiConsoling®: JST MultiConsoling® - visualised here on the myGUI user interface - offers the greatest possible flexibility and even reduces the monitors at the workplace to an absolute minimum. All important systems are thus kept within the operator's narrow field of vision.
Photo 14 | JST MultiConsoling®: The receivers for JST MultiConsoling® are integrated "invisibly" into the spacious supply areas of the Stratos Operator Desks.
Photo 15 | JST technology: A special advantage for the operators in the new control center: With the so-called MouseHopping, switching is now fast and intuitive. The mouse and keyboard are automatically switched to the workstation monitors or large-format displays and thus to the corresponding computers when the mouse is moved.
Target achieved with integrated control center
Electricity, gas, water, district heating and power generation – the range of tasks performed by the operators in the control center of Stadtwerke Gießen is extensive. The supply of around 150,000 inhabitants in the catchment area of the public utility company is controlled from there. It is particularly important that all “cogs fit together smoothly.” Dialogue among employees must take place without obstacles. To this end, the necessary technical and ergonomic conditions have now been created – with the support of the JST – Jungmann Systemtechnik® team.
The priorities were set very clearly from the beginning: A completely new integrated control center was to be created from the two separate power supply control center of Stadtwerke Gießen – with the aim of significantly improving communication between employees. New, future-oriented structures were to be used for the new development. Ideally, the whole thing should of course be carried out within a reasonable financial framework.
The appropriate solution is called MultiConsoling®
Kai Timmermann, Head of the Power Supply Control Center, explains the underlying reasons: “Our aim was to establish a new integrated control center without having to rebuild the entire control systems. Perfect challenges for the control room professionals at JST. This is precisely where JST MultiConsoling® comes into play. Based on this special technology it was possible to integrate the existing signals into the new system.” Now we even have the option of adding a third system if needed,” explains Kai Timmermann.

Applications can be switched on as required
Additional advantages of MultiConsoling®: An unmanageable number of different workplace monitors has been reduced, as have up to three mouse-keyboard units per workplace. Today, all desired applications are switched to the selected monitor or to the new large display screen as required.
Large display screen as multi-player
The monitor wall can perform several tasks at once. On the one hand, it serves the control room staff in monitoring and controlling the individual systems, as well as being a team player in joint troubleshooting and analysis. On the other hand, there is a direct view of the Videowall from an adjoining multi-functional room. In the event of a crisis, an emergency team can access the large display screen without disrupting operations in the actual control center. “The perfect solution,” according to Kai Timmermann.

With PixelDetection® no alarm is ever missed.
The project manager also highlights the advantages of the JST PixelDetection® alerting software. This makes it possible for the control room staff to carry out their tasks without having to keep a constant eye on all of the systems. PixelDetection® takes care of that. In the event of an incident, the software draws the operators’ attention to any irregularities so that the Gießen team can react before the affected residents even feel the effects of a disruption.

Praise for professional collaboration
For Kai Timmermann there is another important aspect that the new integrated control center brought into focus: ergonomics. In this respect, Jungmann Systemtechnik GmbH scored points with its special Operator Desks from the Stratos line. “The height adjustment was particularly important for us,” says Timmermann, who emphasises: “The entire collaboration we have had with JST can only be described as very professional – from perfect preparation to the end result.”
