From the control room to the boardroom, Collaboration Station drives culture change and breaks down silos by integrating enterprise-wide data from business, process, assets and people across roles and geographies. With Collaboration Station, make every day your best production day.

What Is It?
Process maintenance and other support resources for plants in 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?
Experion® Collaboration Station is deployed on your business network providing secure read-only access to the exact same displays being used as process operators, while also providing direct access to all your enterprise information, applications and communication tools. Collaboration Station provides multiple views of your business, from a control room view down to individual process units up to an enterprise-wide view. Information and applications are intuitively accessed in context using the touch interface. No training is required, simply walk up and touch to use. Integrated enterprise communication applications such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom allows instant collaboration with remote experts.

What Problems Does It Solve?
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 to solve to following problems.

• Typically, event consequences are managed rather than avoided, costing millions annually. Early event detection is extremely difficult, requiring users to manually identify situations based on experience and pattern recognition. Collaboration Station enables you to pre-emptively detect and prevent costly issues using a heat map view showing process hotspots and corrective workflow actions fully integrated within Collaboration Station
• Scarce access to experts for remote or distributed assets causing delays in resolving abnormal situations. Collaboration Station provides instant remote access to experts via integrated enterprise communication, empower your workforce to perform their jobs better and resolve problems faster.
• No single, interactive view of all relevant data creating inefficiencies and driving up costs. Accessing all information required to make decisions is cumbersome, time consuming and often undependable. Collaboration Station provides a single intuitive touch interface for accessing all required information and applications quickly.
