Project Overview

The state-of-the-art RPM Innovation Center of Excellence (ICE) research and development facility was designed to foster collaboration and harness the collective expertise found across their businesses. RPM was searching for a way to separate innovation from their day-to-day manufacturing activity in an emerging city to bring in young, bright talent, while also making RPM’s ICE a destination point for their customers.

 

 

 

 

The Solution

With ThinkHub and T1V Story powering this cutting-edge facility, engineers and chemists are able to innovate and communicate with the RPM home labs for collaborative product development and introduce guests and customers to their brand family.

ThinkHub Visual Collaboration:

  • 98" interactive touch display in ICE welcome lobby + 85" interactive display in conference room
  • (2) 65" interactive display on mobile cart in satellite lab (Hudson, NC; Americas, GA) with ThinkHub MultiSite
  • Remote chemists within RPM’s brand family stream IP camera feeds in the ICE Applications
  • Lab to run panels in real-time on the ThinkHub Canvas
  • Engineers and chemists prep for meetings by building out their planned content on a ThinkHub Cloud Canvas, share that Canvas to the in-room ThinkHub for a collaborative session; connect from anywhere with the T1V app

T1V Story Brand Storytelling:

  • Tell the RPM “Who We Are” story to guests and customers upon entering the ICE lobby area

This is a group of coding professionals, marketing professionals — and we’re all here under the RPM umbrella to collaborate with each other, innovate with each other, and learn from each other. ThinkHub is an excellent piece of technology. One way we’re utilizing ThinkHub is to connect through the app, build Canvases, share information, and it’s a way to — when you’re far apart from each other — keep everyone close together.
