What is an Integrator
An Integrator (or system Integrator) is a person or company that specializes in bringing together component subsystems into a whole and ensuring that those subsystems function together, a practice known as system integration. They also solve problems of automation.
Required Skills
A system integration engineer needs a broad range of skills and is likely to be defined by a breadth of knowledge rather than a depth of knowledge. These skills are likely to include software, systems and enterprise architecture, software and hardware engineering, interface protocols, IT configuration and general problem-solving skills. It is likely that the problems to be solved have not been solved before except in the broadest sense. They are likely to include new and challenging problems with an input from a broad range of engineers where the system integration engineer “pulls it all together”.
Why Xencom Elemco
For over 35 years, Xencom Elemco has been providing Energy Management / Building Automation Controls. Over this time, we developed our own front-end software and drivers that communicated to many legacy controllers and systems. Now that most edge controllers are using BACnet, LON or Ethernet IP, integration of components and systems from multiple manufacturers has become much easier. But when upgrading or adding to an existing system, it’s very important to hire an integrator/contractor who understands how to “pull it together” under one platform. Niagara is our platform of choice, but we have also worked on and with many other platforms/systems. Please contact us to see if your system is a candidate for an upgrade and/or updated platform.
In today’s operations environment it is also clear that the user/operator must have Dashboards and Graphic User Interfaces (GUIs) at his or her disposal that are easy to use and understand.
