Collaboration Station

What Is It?
Process maintenance and other support resources for plants in the process industries are often located remotely. When responding to a process problem, rapid analysis and resolution are critical to maintaining productivity. Experion Collaboration Station uses a large-format, multi-touch display to bring together business network and view-only control system data. It rapidly establishes communication for collaboration between multi-disciplinary team members, regardless of where they are. All participants share the same view and can work simultaneously  on the same documents and data within a communication session using their desktop computers.

How Does It Work?
Collaboration Station drives better decision making by unlocking the full value of information and applications through organization, methodology and deep linking in an easy to use collaborative environment.
