HVAC engineers and manufacturers heavily depend on software providers for developing and implementing air handling unit (AHU) selection software. The process takes months. Even after the software is complete, adding new HVAC components to the software further down the line only adds to a project’s time and pushes the cost limits.

Kinetix Air changes this status quo and solves the prevalent challenges in the AHU space by re-engineering the end-to-end process with its fully managed, cloud-based AHU selection software.

A unified web-based interface allows engineers to design the best AHU systems while giving manufacturers complete control over managing the entire lifecycle of a project from a single pane of glass.

Collaboration is a crucial factor when designing and manufacturing an AHU system. Kinetix Air helps manufacturers turn their back on the conventional approach, where they depend on fragmented information from AHU engineers.

“We aren’t just throwing more resources at the problem; we are changing how the AHU business has run for the past 20 to 30 years. We are streamlining the siloed end-to-end process to eliminate inefficiencies and improve collaboration,” states Sevag Ajemian, president and CEO of Kinetix Air.

The user’s location does not come into the picture with a 100 percent web-based solution. Engineers can seamlessly edit, share, and record all project details in a common database despite working from different states.

Each user gets an authorization level, based on which they can leverage different features to improve the AHU design.

All stakeholders can collaborate through the software, from initial design and engineering submittals to production and shipping. Enhanced communication between engineers and manufacturing representatives eliminates the need for stakeholders to juggle different software. Design, manufacturing, and sales workflows are unified in the cloud software. The idea behind this approach is to optimize workflow in real-time and gain access to the latest, up-to-the-minute information. Working from a single, consistent dataset across the entire manufacturing process, engineers can cut design time from weeks to hours and complete the project in time.

The software allows engineers to design or select a coil, fan, energy recovery wheel, or any other component. When any engineers are adding material or components to their designs, the software continuously validates the components with its inbuilt validation engine. It ensures the component can fit dimensionally to produce the output that is required for the relevant installations. The engineers are able to provide buildable designs to AHU manufacturers while eliminating manual errors and saving their time.

Kinetix Air’s software is primarily differentiated by its customization features. Unlike the market standard, users can modify it to suit their business needs. An inbuilt robust content management system (CMS) allows them to customize and maintain the software based on each project’s standards and requirements. Administrators can easily customize it to their needs without writing a single line of code. The CMS can define settings like dimensional standards, validations, performance standards, cost figures, raw materials, and more. The role-based user-specific permission levels are set and maintained by the manufacturer’s in-house administrator.

“AHU engineers can leave the software development to the industry experts. Our clients don’t have to worry about IT teams managing the software and focus on their core business of developing and producing the AHU,” says Vicken Arabian, CTO at Kinetix Air. They don’t have to maintain any IT staff to upgrade the software or add new component designs.

The knowledge of AHU specialists led by Ajemian, combined with Arabian’s extensive experience in the industry, helps Kinetix Air continually revamp its solutions. Its workforce comprises experts with over 20 years of experience in the AHU industry. They lay the groundwork for understanding the pain points of other representatives and developing adequate resolutions.

Following this path, Kinetix Air will continue updating its tools and software and help AHU engineers or representatives thrive in the face of increasing demand for speed, efficiency, and ecological responsibility through streamlined operating procedures.
