TSA

What TSA does

TSA Tecnologia de Sistemas de Automação SA is a privately held Brazilian industrial engineering services company founded in 1992 and headquartered in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The company designs and delivers integrated engineering, automation, electrical, instrumentation, plant commissioning, and turn-key industrial projects to heavy-industry operators across six verticals: mining (including iron ore pelletizing and mineral processing), steel and metallurgy, oil and gas (upstream and downstream), cement, electric energy, and infrastructure (rail, ports, airports). Its technical capabilities span PLC, SCADA, and DCS software development, Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), alarm management, industrial network protocols (ControlNet, DeviceNet, Modbus, Profibus, Fieldbus, Ethernet), and Industry 4.0 / IoT digital convergence solutions, with a proprietary process optimization sub-brand called LYNX Process and a digital maintenance offering branded TSA Digital.

TSA earns revenue through project-based professional services and turn-key contracts priced per scope on a quote basis, typically delivered under multi-year engagements. Distribution is via direct enterprise field sales, RFP responses, and technology partnerships with global leaders including SAP (MES), OSIsoft (PIMS), GE/Bently Nevada (condition monitoring distribution), and Mintek (mineral-metallurgical process optimization). Project management is delivered under PMI standards, and the company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications.

Beyond its Belo Horizonte headquarters, TSA operates branch offices in Vitória (Espírito Santo) and Parauapebas (Pará), and a regional subsidiary in Maputo, Mozambique, opened in 2019 to serve local mining and oil and gas demand. The company is incorporated as a Sociedade Anônima (CNPJ 41.857.780/0001-78) with no disclosed parent, external investors, or public listing, and markets itself primarily through LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and a corporate blog at the top of the funnel, with website contact forms at the bottom.
