About a week ago, I was driving home when traffic suddenly slowed to a crawl. Moments later, police units sped past with sirens blasting and lights flashing. Scrolling through my local Facebook group later, I learned that a suspect had been located and apprehended thanks to a real-time crime center(RTCC) that spotted the vehicle on camera and relayed its location to officers on the street.

At Berrien County 911, dispatchers strive every day to make their community a better and safer place to live. The county in the southwestern corner of Michigan’s lower peninsula is home to nearly 153,000 people, who are served by 50 different police, fire, and EMS agencies.

The 911 center is staffed by 34 call takers and dispatchers with 5 to 10 on shift at a time. The employees exhibit incredible pride in the rewarding job, especially the sense of purpose it brings and the opportunity to help the community.

The Autauga County 911 dispatchers in central Alabama serve the 60,000+ residents of the City of Prattville and unincorporated Autauga County through voice calls and texts. The dispatchers work 12-hour shifts and manage thousands of calls, including 9,200 calls for the county sheriff’s office alone. Recently, the center replaced their old desks with modern Xybix consoles equipped with all the latest bells and whistles—personal fans, heaters, LED lighting, and more. The consensus: The customization options make their long shifts just a little bit better.

The Xybix Radiology Desk recently earned an Innovative Technology Contract with the Vizient healthcare purchasing organization. Healthcare organizations that purchase through Vizient have assurances that the products passed rigorous research and hands-on reviews while providing the best value.

CENTER HIGHLIGHT: LETA

The Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority (LETA) has taken a significant step in strengthening emergency communications across Larimer County with the development of a new backup dispatch center located in Johnstown, Colorado.  This center was designed with the intent to support public safety agencies throughout the county by providing a fully functional alternative location in times of need. Whether due to call overload, technical disruptions, or the need for temporary relocation, agencies within the county will now have access to a reliable and modern facility to ensure uninterrupted service. As Larimer County continues to grow, the need for flexible and resilient emergency communication infrastructure has become increasingly clear. This new backup center addresses that need, offering both immediate relief in emergencies and long-term support for agency operations. Xybix is honored to have played a key role in bringing this critical resource to life. By helping to curate a space that is not only functional but adaptable for use by all county agencies, we remain committed to supporting the professionals who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe.

“6 hours of sedentary behavior a day linked to neck pain”

There’s no way you haven’t heard about the tariffs dominating today’s headlines.
From tech to textiles, nearly every industry is feeling the ripple effects, and unfortunately, that includes us too. At Xybix, we want to be upfront about how these changes are impacting our pricing and what we’re doing to stay transparent, fair, and committed to quality.

The recent updates to U.S. tariff regulations have impacted certain materials that are essential to producing our durable, ergonomic, and customized workstations.

For radiologists, a desk is more than just furniture—it’s a critical tool that supports diagnostic accuracy, physical well-being, and long hours of focused work. That’s why professional installation and expert workspace design should be at the top of your list when evaluating new ergonomic sit/stand imaging desks.

I saw this headline, “Why ‘Unbalanced’ Muscles Can Cause You Pain,” and had to dig deeper. What are unbalanced muscles? Do I have them? Do our customers? At Xybix, our values include creating healthier workspaces and caring for those who serve others. I wanted to know more—and make sure our desks help prevent muscle imbalances for 911 dispatchers, healthcare workers, radiologists, and other professionals.

From the Family Basement to 54,000 Square Feet

Xybix was born in 1991 with a vision to help mission-critical professionals work through ergonomics before the term “ergonomics” was widely known.
