Standalone and integrated systems
Completion requirements
No machinery on ships
works independently. More than one of them come together to form a
purpose-oriented system. In some cases, integrated systems have been created by
combining multiple
systems to perform more complex operations. Accurate and precise operation of
such systems can only be achieved with detailed algorithms and hardware that
implements them. On the other hand, some systems or machines need to be
controlled by means of standalone soft or hardware in order to realize maximum
economy, efficiency, continuity, safe, secure and environmental operations
within the specified and embedded limiting parameters. Almost all measuring
systems work independently and are not affected by any external influences.
However, they can make sense in combination with other system and machine
parameters. The successful operation and control of systems and machines
depends on how stand-alone systems cooperate with integrated systems.
Therefore, among other features, in an algorithmically well-designed ERS
system, the interactions between standalone and integrated systems and machines
must be determined very accurately. It is inevitable to have well-trained,
knowledgeable and experienced Marine Engineers to operate ship systems and
machines properly and in good manner.
