Systems Integration
Managing the interfaces where subsystems meet — the discipline that keeps a complex machine coherent.
Every subsystem touches others — magnets to structure, vessel to blanket, heating to vacuum, controls to everything. Systems integration manages those interfaces so the machine works as a whole. The vacuum vessel and the control/safety system are the busiest interface hubs.
Kronos maps these interfaces explicitly as part of its construction-readiness work.
Common questions
Making dozens of subsystems — magnets, vessel, heating, cryogenics, fuel cycle, controls — fit and function together within a compact machine, where most risk lives at the interfaces.
Because space is scarce and everything competes for the central column, integration is a first-order design driver, not an afterthought.
