The purpose of a Crisis Management Center is to accommodate all the key people handling disaster logistics.; assessing the necessary risks and resources, consolidating information, making decisions and defining the communication strategy.

In crisis situations of this scale, collect information, making decisions and directing the right answers requires good coordination and, as a result, emergency centres must adapt their approaches.

Technology plays an important role. Must be safe, flexible, reliable, easy to operate and designed to aid user interaction, while maximizing table space and versatility.

All these factors were taken into consideration by the Kuwaiti system integrator Evolve, responsible for the construction and commissioning of KNPC's main Crisis Management Centre (Kuwait National Petroleum Company).

The KNPC CMC operations center is activated if an incident occurs in the state of Kuwait involving oil sector operations and is linked to other companies in the group. Secure conferencing systems are used in these facilities, audiovisual and data exchange to manage crises and resolve incidents quickly and efficiently.

The CMC is chaired by a videowall of 6 meters wide by two meters high showing multiple video streams. In front of this there is a conference table with capacity to 17 people.

The 'V' shaped conference table and an open structure, is equipped with Arthur Holm Dynamic3 motorized folding monitors, conference microphones and AV cable cubicles, as well as the latest communication and collaboration technologies.

Everything is controlled by a Crestron control system that activates various work scenarios.

Dynamic3 Foldable Monitor

Dynamic3 is a range of motorized folding products that provides different working positions with minimal depth when integrated inside the desk and leaves a soft furniture surface.

Aluminum monitor rises and tilts, has a rotational motion of 180° and can retract on the work surface in two different positions: with the monitor facing up or down.
Dynamic3's sophisticated state-of-the-art electronics automatically detect the position of the screen and display the image in the correct orientation.

If the sensors detect any resistance, the movement stops to protect the user.

The screen lift system is automatically activated by lifting a tray where a keyboard and mouse can be conveniently placed. An optional touchscreen can be used in a fully flush position with the work surface.
