Claudio Jara, founder and general manager of Tunning, explains that as part of the engineering and industrial construction ecosystem, the company has naturally adapted to the environment in its 30 years of life, adding today new tools such as the digital twin.

Engineer Claudio Jara founded Tunning when we were still using fax and landline phones. “There were no cell phones, email or WhatsApp and for tenders we had to submit four hard copies on paper,” he recalls. Since then 30 years have passed and technology has advanced tremendously, along with technical norms and standards. This requires working faster and reducing the likelihood of errors by being able to rely on automated support tools.

Tunning, a company that develops automation and electric drives for large industrial projects, requires bringing together various designs such as engineering, software and communication networks to make a process work.

In this context, they recently incorporated the digital twin, a technology that allows them to anticipate problems and simulate future ones by modifying some parameters in the digital version of a process to know what could happen in the face of certain stimuli, so “you face the problems in the software before they manifest themselves in the physical, saving time and money,” says Jara.

With this tool, they can analyze the impact of automation on the behavior of a conveyor belt carrying material in an industrial plant or a crushing machine in a copper mine, without having to test in the field. In this way, after three decades in the market and with changes that seem overwhelming, Tunning has been integrating the transformations in a quite natural way.
