Your Sources. Your Layout. Greater Flexibility with ADDER Free-Flow

In mission-critical environments, operators need to understand information quickly and respond to changing situations. The way data is presented and how easily operators can move between systems plays an important role in quickly understanding emerging situations and determining the best response required.

In air traffic control and other control rooms environments, operators often use multiple computers and screens, each serving a specific purpose. Different applications have different display requirements so creating a workspace where information is easy to read and systems are easy to access can be a challenge. Creating a workspace where information is easy to view and systems are simple to access helps support these demands.

Moving between systems with Free-Flow

The ADDER CCS-PRO4 and ADDER CCS-PRO8 help simplify this experience. Using the latest upgrade to Free-Flow software, operators can move their mouse from screen to screen to automatically switch control between computers whilst resizing windows based on their requirements.

This gives operators a straightforward way to work across different systems from a single workstation. Reducing the need for separate keyboards and mice also minimizes desk clutter and improves workstation ergonomics, helping operators keep the tools they need within comfortable reach.

Based on customer feedback, the latest Free-Flow upgrade enhances this experience by supporting desktop scaling in Windows OS for higher resolution monitors.

More flexibility in how information is displayed

Different applications have different display requirements. A layout that works well for one task may be less suitable for another, particularly when operators are moving between sources throughout their working day.

The latest upgrade to ADDER Free-Flow enables operators to use a desktop scale that meets their requirements, providing them with greater flexibility in how they view and arrange information. They can adjust the scale for each screen in their workflow to suit the content they are reviewing and the task they are completing while continuing to move between computers using Free-Flow.

The new update supports a more adaptable workspace, where the presentation of information can reflect the operator’s needs. Whether reviewing detailed content or keeping supporting information in view, operators have more flexibility to create a layout that works for them.

Simpler installation for IT teams

An effective operator workspace also needs to be practical for the teams responsible for setting it up.

The upgrade removes the supporting driver from being a mandatory install, reducing the amount of software installed for configuration. For IT teams, this simplifies the process of deploying Free-Flow with the CCS-PRO range.

Together, these developments address both sides of the workstation experience: greater viewing flexibility for operators and a simpler installation process for the teams supporting them.
