SolX Engineers Drive the Future of Integrated Energy Solutions with Agility, AI, and IoT

Engineering has always been the driving force behind society’s greatest breakthroughs — from bridges and power grids to semiconductors, satellites, and the World Wide Web, proposed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. That single invention transformed how we share and access information across the globe.

This Labor Day, as we celebrate the people who build, power, connect, and sustain our world, it’s worth recognizing engineers — the often-unsung problem-solvers behind technologies that shape nearly every aspect of modern life. Yet despite their impact, interest in engineering is on the decline. According to Danilo Lachica, president of the Semiconductor and Electronics Industries in the Philippines, Inc. (SEIPI), only 10% of recent graduates pursue engineering. The reasons range from demanding coursework to concerns about work-life balance and shifting career preferences.

At SolX Technologies, engineers are rising to these challenges — and redefining what it means to build the future. By embracing artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and Agile methodologies, they’re not just keeping up with change — they’re driving it.

Agility in Action: Reinventing Project Management

The shift from traditional project management to Agile is transforming how engineers at SolX work.

“Information flows more freely these days,” says Richard P. Julio, Mechanical Engineer at SolX. “Back then, linear Waterfall management was the norm. Now, Agile lets teams contribute and collaborate equally.”

Agile methodology emphasizes flexibility, continuous feedback, and iterative development — ideal for energy projects that demand speed, adaptability, and precision. By working in sprints and adapting in real time, SolX engineers are accelerating delivery and improving collaboration across departments.

AI Is Changing the Game for Engineers

Artificial intelligence has moved from futuristic concept to everyday tool. At SolX, it’s helping engineers automate repetitive tasks, streamline data collection, and optimize simulations.

“All these advancements are becoming part of our daily workflow,” says Alliah Bernice G. Averilla, a Chemical Technician on the Operations Team. “Some tools are still experimental, but they’ve already made our processes more efficient.”

Mark Regoso, AI Engineer at SolX, puts it plainly: “AI is changing the game. Computations and simulations are faster, smarter, and more accurate. Even old-school calculators are being replaced by digital tools that reduce waste and boost sustainability.”

Whether it’s cutting down energy modeling time or improving decision-making accuracy, AI is giving SolX engineers more bandwidth to focus on high-impact, complex solutions. \

IoT-Powered Intelligence: Real-Time Energy Optimization

SolX’s proprietary system, xLink, uses IoT technology to help clients monitor power consumption in real time — directly through their existing power lines. This seamless solution offers clients the insights they need to make smarter, faster energy decisions.

“Beyond AI, I think we’ll see even more IoT-driven projects,” says Johannes Andrei Unana, Electronics Engineer at SolX. “With how fast technology is evolving, these solutions are becoming not just possible, but practical.”

IoT empowers businesses to pinpoint inefficiencies, cut costs, and respond instantly to energy anomalies — all through live data feeds.

At SolX Technologies, engineering isn’t just a profession. It’s a commitment to progress, precision, and purpose. As the world accelerates into a new era of energy innovation, SolX engineers are not just adapting to the future — they’re actively building it. Together, they’re not only solving today’s energy challenges but shaping a smarter, more sustainable world for tomorrow. The future is in their hands — and it’s brighter than ever.
