what phist wrote. Color code the backgrounds of your servers, different colors. So anyone who connects to 'take console' in any system is hit by a blinding electric Green/Blue/Red/Yellow and other striking colors.

I assume that all systems already have descriptive names App_DEV_Server1, App_PROD_Server5, etc.

It also helps if (ofc they would be right??) in separate IP groups/WLANS?

If you are running Windows, it's a good idea to use BGINFO.exe by SysInternals (or Winternals as we old people still call it), and display the most relevant info (showing Dev/Prod/UAT/etc.) with big-big-big letters.
