Overview
The Integrated Digital Solutions Lead - Cognitive Cities is responsible for all technical aspects of the key components of smart/cognitive buildings and cities such as BMS, IBMS, security, VMS, AV, LBS, PSIM, energy management, perimeter intrusion detection systems, drones, virtual concierge, information points, fire alarm & detection, fire fighting and fire suppression, and command and control center.
He is also responsible for making sure that IBMS, sub-systems, and smart digital solutions are well defined and aligned with the use cases and building infrastructure to reduce risk, achieve exceptional user experience, and decrease construction and operating costs. He is also responsible for the technical designs that ensure seamless integration between various systems, subsystems, and smart digital solutions.
In addition, he closely coordinates with BMS, sub-systems, and smart digital solutions vendors/partners to develop the Interface Control Document (ICD), with details about types and number of points and the associated protocols, to mitigate technical risk during the project execution.
