What lynx process does

Lynx Process is a Brazilian industrial software and services company headquartered in Belo Horizonte, MG, that builds optimization and process-automation systems for heavy industry. Its proprietary portfolio centers on Plant Information Management Systems (PIMS) and Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), complemented by specialized operational products including Lynx Yard Management (mathematical optimization for loading and stacking plans), a 3D Yard Mapping interface, an Anti-Collision Machine System with virtual protection zones, AutoLog for logistics automation, Lynx Tracking for ore and raw material traceability, and Lynx Vision for fleet management. The technology stack integrates with AVEVA's PI System as the time-series data backbone and connects to major ERPs (SAP, Oracle, TOTVS Protheus, Microsiga) and plant-floor devices (SDCDs, PLCs, IHMs), with applied machine learning, heuristics, and linear programming for process optimization and predictive analytics.

The company targets enterprise clients across ten industrial verticals — Mining, Steel/Metallurgy, Ports, Transportation, Logistics, Cement, Fertilizers, Pulp/Paper, Oil and Gas/Chemical/Petrochemical, and Energy Generation — and is controlled by TSA Group, a 25-year-old Brazilian industrial engineering firm that provides the customer channel and co-delivers integrated automation projects. Lynx sells through direct enterprise sales via application consultants from regional offices in Belo Horizonte, Vitória, and São Paulo, with international reach into LATAM countries. Revenue is generated across four streams: software products and optimization solutions (recurring), consulting and custom systems development (professional services), R&D projects funded under Brazilian innovation incentive laws, and IT outsourcing (managed services). The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications and claims 400+ projects delivered with 20+ PIMS specialists and 13 years of PI System experience, positioning itself as a leader in the Brazilian market for productivity indicators, reports, and dashboards.

Broad incumbents

• AVEVA: AVEVA is the parent of the PI System platform on which Lynx builds its PIMS offering and is also a partner. As a broad incumbent, AVEVA offers a much larger industrial software portfolio across plant design, operations, and information management, making it both a critical partner and a competitor for end-to-end digital transformation contracts.
• Honeywell Connected Enterprise: Honeywell provides Process Solutions (Experion) and Forge analytics across refining, chemicals, mining, and pulp/paper — directly overlapping Lynx's PIMS/MES and process optimization offerings. As a broad incumbent, Honeywell competes for large industrial digitalization contracts globally, including in LATAM.
• Hexagon PPM: Hexagon's PPM division (formerly Intergraph) provides enterprise engineering, operations, and asset management software for process and power industries, overlapping with Lynx's PIMS and process information management capabilities.
• Siemens Digital Industries: Siemens offers Opcenter (MES), SIMATIC IT, and MindSphere industrial IoT, which overlap with Lynx's MES/MOM, PIMS, and IoT-based fleet/yard offerings. Siemens's broader automation portfolio makes it a frequent alternative for large industrial customers.
• Rockwell Automation: Rockwell's FactoryTalk suite, Plex Systems, and PTC partnership cover MES, analytics, and industrial IoT for discrete and process industries. Rockwell competes with Lynx for plant-level digitalization and integration projects in mining-adjacent and process manufacturing.
• Schneider Electric (AVEVA parent and EcoStruxure): Schneider Electric, the parent of AVEVA, offers EcoStruxure industrial automation and process safety solutions, making it a top-tier competitor for plant-level integration and PIMS projects. Schneider competes with Lynx for end-to-end industrial digital transformation work in mining, metals, and energy.

Direct peers

• Metso: Metso provides mining-specific automation, fleet management (Metso Metrics), and process optimization for aggregates and minerals processing. Metso competes with Lynx's Lynx Vision fleet management and yard management offerings for the same mining customer base.
• Aspen Technology (AspenTech): AspenTech provides asset performance management, PIMS, and process optimization software targeting chemicals, oil & gas, and mining. Its DMCplus and aspenONE offerings overlap directly with Lynx's mathematical optimization and PIMS portfolio for heavy industry customers.
• Sandvik (Deswik & mining automation): Sandvik offers mining automation and digital solutions for underground and surface mining, including fleet management and optimization. It overlaps with Lynx's mining fleet management and yard/anti-collision product offerings.

Emerging players

• TIBCO (Spotfire / Connected Intelligence): TIBCO provides analytics, real-time data, and visualization platforms used in industrial settings. While not a direct MES competitor, it overlaps with Lynx's PIMS analytics, KPI development, and dashboard capabilities for industrial information management.
