The control room furniture manufacturer Winsted has released the newest version of WELS, Winsted Equipment Layout Software, version 4.
According to the manufacturer the biggest change is the look and feel. The version 4 has been revamped with a redesigned user interface with new features aiming to streamline the design process.
The software requires no extra design/CAD software to operate. A stand-alone PC-based ‘Design in 3D’ package allows customers to layout control rooms to their own specifications, using Winsted furniture components from their vast range including the company’s new EnVison and ESoc product lines.

Provided as a ‘no-cost’ download via Winsted’s website (www.winsted.com), WELS allows a control room to be created and furnished, and viewed from a variety of industry standard perspectives, to aid customer choice of furniture.
With automatic overall dimensioning, basic ergonomics and fit can all be checked and brought to life with useful equipment accessories, including LCD monitors, keyboards and DVRs.
When each design is completed, component lists and design specification sheets can be generated; for the transition from ‘virtual’ layout, to a finished and operational control room. WELS designs can also be saved in a variety of formats, for use within other computer programmes.
Winsted’s General Manager, Terry Shough said: “The new WELS further complements our bespoke customer design service, by providing a practical tool that aids customers with their decision making. It enables end users and installers to create hi-quality designs, allowing them to try out several options and identify the best solution. Effective design has always been Winsted’s formula for complete customer satisfaction and WELS will help to continue this ethos, as we continue to expand our customer driven business.”
