- Process Control System (PCS)
- Building Management System (BMS)
- Fire and Gas System (FGS)
- Safety Instrumented System (SIS)
The Technical Leader is not responsible for the detailed architecture of these other systems but must ensure robust interface management between EMCS and each of them. This includes :
Understanding how EMCS connects to and exchanges data with other systems.Validating integration points and ensuring compatibility.Coordinating with system owners to ensure a cohesive and reliable overall solution.During tender phase
Establish customer needs (expressed or not) and seek alternative / aggressive or low-cost technical solutions.Liaise with Architects or Experts to optimize and secure the overall design of the customized solution.Optimize and challenge different contributors and quotation centers to be more competitive in the bid.
