CONSOLE OVERVIEW
Limited only by your imagination, Identity™ is our premium console solution. Extremely
customizable, this console is Evans’ most flexible design and sets the industry standard for
performance and appearance. It is parametric in virtually all directions allowing it to be easily
configured to almost any layout. The Identity console displays a virtually unlimited series of
design options from fully enclosed to fully open, flat panel depth to full CRT depth, a complete
array of finishes and worksurface materials, adjustable worksurfaces to static surfaces and all
options in between. The open design of the Identity console allows for front and rear access for
servicing and for layout options that can span up to six feet without structural supports between
displays, allowing for displays to be set directly beside each other providing a continuous
information flow.

CONSOLE DESCRIPTION
A. The console shall have the following features and capabilities:
1. Modular configuration:
a. Cross sectional dimensions of the console can be parametrically extended or
compressed to accommodate a variety of display options.
b. Modular structural system supports full range of layouts and control room
configurations.
c. Open nature of the structural system, including the ruggedness and rigidity of
the structural components, contribute to the console’s ability to offer the most
spatially efficient footprint for a given suite of equipment.
2. Open nature of the structural system facilitates placement of displays in close
proximity to the operator, creating a ‘cockpit’ around the operator where the view
distances and reach distances are optimized to support a variety of tasks being
performed at the workstation.
3. Unlimited flexibility and options for customization, whether it is through unique
configurations, extensions, peninsulas, credenzas, or wall units.
4. Equipment accessibility:
a. Panel mounted devices shall be accessible via gas-piston lift assisted onepiece back and top panel in fully enclosed applications.
b. Alternate open or desktop design shall provide optimum access for servicing
operator interface devices while maximizing viewing and communication
openings.
