Tecnet

What Tecnet does

Tecnet S.A. is an Argentine-founded (1987) industrial automation and systems integration company headquartered in Buenos Aires with regional offices in Santiago (Chile), Lima (Peru), Mexico City and Seville (Spain, operating as ACT Sistemas), and an authorized distribution footprint reaching into Bolivia. The company designs and delivers turnkey automation, control and communications projects for oil and gas, electricity/water/utilities, mining, and manufacturing customers, spanning conceptual, basic and detailed engineering, hardware procurement (including its proprietary PowerON 500 R3 RTU platform), installation, commissioning and ongoing support.

The technology stack is built around three pillars: (1) the proprietary PowerON 500 R3 RTU, a rugged Modbus/DNP3 telecontrol platform for geographically distributed assets; (2) a deep distribution and integration partnership with GE Vernova covering the Proficy suite (iFIX, CIMPLICITY, Proficy Historian, Operations Hub, Plant Applications, CSense, APM/OPM) across five countries; and (3) commercial alliances with AMDT/AUVESY-MDT for the octoplant eight-module industrial software suite, Schneider Electric as IAD Plant Integrator, and Arido Software for the Arido Ops Flow MES system. IT/networking services for public-sector and regulated industries (healthcare, finance, education, telecoms) complete the portfolio, alongside instructor-led and remote training on Proficy products.

Tecnet's business model combines professional services (engineering, integration, installation, commissioning, training, maintenance) with software and hardware resale through authorized channel partnerships and limited proprietary hardware revenue from PowerON units. Customers are predominantly large enterprise and state-linked actors (YPF, Techint, ENGIE, Camuzzi, Lonmin, Bahisa), with flagship Argentine energy-infrastructure references such as the Reversión del Gasoducto Norte and Gasoducto América. Since 2024, Tecnet has operated as part of the Sofratesa multilatino group, which is focused on transportation, telecommunications and mobility infrastructure across eight countries and provides capital backing for larger scale projects. Certifications include ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 in Argentina and Peru, and ISO 27001:2022 held by the Mexico entity.
