Kesino Control Room Solutions | Mining Operations Center Case Study

Project Overview

A leading global mining operator required a robust, scalable control room console solution to centralize 24/7 monitoring, equipment diagnostics, and cross-team operational coordination. The facility needed to accommodate 24 operator workstations with a mix of linear and corner configurations, while withstanding the harsh, high-dust, vibration-prone environment of a mining site. Kesino’s KCD Series control room consoles were selected after an extensive evaluation of durability, ergonomics, and seamless technology integration—outperforming generic furniture and competing console providers.

Core Requirements

1. 24-seat capacity with flexible linear/corner floor plan

2. Heavy-duty build to resist dust, vibration, and 24/7 continuous use

3. Advanced cable management for critical monitoring equipment

4. Ergonomic design to reduce fatigue for long-shift operators

5. Fast deployment with minimal disruption to ongoing mining operations

Our Custom KCD Console Solution

Design & Layout Engineering

The KCD Series consoles were deployed in a modular combination of straight rows and precision-engineered corner sections, optimizing the control room’s available footprint while ensuring unobstructed sightlines across all 24 workstations. The modular framework allows for future expansion or reconfiguration without full system replacement—critical for a mining operation’s evolving technology needs.

Durability & Materials

• Aircraft-grade aluminum frame with reinforced steel support structures

• Anti-scratch, chemical-resistant work surfaces

• Sealed cable pathways to prevent dust ingress and protect sensitive electronics

• Vibration-dampening feet to stabilize consoles against mining equipment tremors

Ergonomics & Operator Wellbeing

Each KCD console workstation features height-adjustable (sit-to-stand optional) work surfaces, integrated multi-monitor mounting systems, and segmented storage for personal gear and operational tools. The design adheres to global ergonomic standards, proven to reduce musculoskeletal strain for operators working 12+ hour shifts.

Cable & Technology Integration

A fully segregated power and data cable management system eliminates signal interference between critical monitoring devices. All wiring is routed through hidden, accessible channels, keeping the control room clutter-free and simplifying maintenance. The consoles are pre-configured to integrate with the client’s existing SCADA systems, video walls, and communication tools.

Project Execution & Results

The entire KCD console installation was completed on schedule, with zero downtime for the mining operation’s critical monitoring systems. Post-deployment, the client reported:

1. 30% improvement in operator efficiency due to optimized workflow and reduced equipment troubleshooting delays

2. 99.9% uptime of monitoring equipment, attributed to superior cable management and dust protection

3. A significant reduction in operator fatigue complaints, confirmed by post-installation ergonomic assessments

4. Total flexibility to add new technology modules as the mining operation scales
