Balakovo Nuclear Power Plant Equipped its Control Room With iTech's Industrial LCD Monitors

In large infrastructures such as manufacturing plants where multiple devices are connected in a network, control rooms play an important in its daily operations. A control room can be referred to as an operations center which controls the activity and monitors the traffic and security of multiple computers, servers, routers, printers and other devices that are connected to the network. The design of a control room must include the functionality and technology needed to properly carry out the various activities of a particular facility.

For the past few years, control rooms are already adopting the use of flat-screen LCDs. The LCD technology also developed over time where their performance and robustness allow them to be used 24/7 in control room environments. iTech Company has a range of LCD monitors that are designed for control room applications. One of these is its ECH2130 industrial LCD monitor which has been used by Balakovo Nuclear Power Plant, one of Russia's nuclear power plants. This facility equipped its modern control room environment with multiple iTech Company's LCD monitors which are well-suited for use in these applications as they take up far less space, deliver sharp displays, and feature rugged design.
