Under the concept of “reliable engineering” for customers, the company’s operations areas guarantee quality and on-time delivery in its automation and electric drive projects.

Pedro Sepúlveda first joined Tunning Ingeniería in 2011 as an intern. He remained with the company for two years and returned a decade later, joining the engineering sub-area that he now leads.

Since then, he has been responsible for ensuring compliance with internal processes, under the concept of “reliable engineering” for customers and the ISO 9001 quality management standard.

The engineering sub-area is one of four that make up Tunning Ingeniería’s Processes Area, along with Platform and Technology, Programming, and Commissioning. It is a growing branch, constantly challenged to embrace new markets. “We are experiencing the fifth industrial revolution and, therefore, we seek to take advantage of new automation technologies to simplify and optimize the repetitive processes we design,” explains Pedro, highlighting the fact that tools such as artificial intelligence are not here to replace workers, but to support them.

Thus, they have implemented Smart Grid projects (smart electrical grids that use digital technology to optimize electricity production, distribution, and consumption in an efficient, sustainable, and safe manner). In addition, they are developing 3D models for special electrical and mechanical design solutions for the panels that house the process hardware for the mining, forestry, energy, and other industries.

“Our strength lies in the design of PLC, HMI, and communications panels, although we also address other requirements by developing customized solutions and even some metalworking solutions,” Sepúlveda points out. In order to meet the deadlines committed to customers, they are involved from the design stage and then in the supervision of integration, internal quality control, and finally in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT). “It is key to be on the same wavelength as Tunning’s project managers, the other back-office areas, and the customer,” he concludes.
