Kinetix Air’s unified air handling unit manufacturing platform is set to help custom AHU manufacturers meet an unprecedented wave of new demand for AHUs. Climate change and new net-zero regulations are about to drive a wave of AHU demand, both for new builds and retrofits. Additionally, many jurisdictions are beefing up air quality regulations post-COVID, meaning many HVAC systems in existing buildings will need to be upgraded with more circulation and better filtration. These two factors will push demand for new custom AHUs to historically high levels, and with all the retrofits required, production cycle times will need to diminish to meet this demand. Kinetix Air unifies all aspects of custom AHU design and automates the repetitive and time-consuming parts of the process, helping AHU manufacturers move beyond their slow and siloed processes to capitalize on this new demand.
“Let’s admit it. The way our industry designs, sells, and builds AHUs is time-consuming and that drives inefficiencies. Current selection software is powerful but only addresses one part of the manufacturing process. Up until now, that hasn’t been a huge problem. New construction projects typically move at a pace that doesn’t outstrip AHU production cycles. But that pace will need to accelerate to cope with the sudden spike in demand to upgrade existing structures to current efficiency and public health standards. And that transition is not going to be easy for manufacturers who continue to do business as usual,” says Vicken Arabian, Kinetix CTO.
“I’m not a big fan of the word disrupt, but what Kinetix Air does will disrupt the AHU Selection Software market and change the way custom AHU Manufacturers operate,” says Sevag Ajemian, Kinetix CEO. “Kinetix Air will bring digital transformation to an industry that has traditionally worked in silos, with each step assigned to a different team, often using different software, with many repetitive manual processes. Creating an end-to-end collaborative platform will cut design time by 50% and reduce validation, pricing, submittal, and BOM package time to nearly zero, saving manufacturers at least 20 person-hours per AHU – as well as reducing important risks from human error.”
Founded in 2016, The Kinetix Air unified air handler manufacturing platform (UAHM) is a collaborative, SaaS-based method of uniting all the phases of AHU sales, design, costing, pricing, and manufacturing into one efficient, dynamic and cost-effective workflow. Where current AHU selection software platforms really only do selection, Kinetix addresses all the manufacturer’s needs and provides a shared platform where representative companies and engineering firms can collaborate directly with manufacturers.
Based in the LA area, Kinetix is currently emerging from stealth mode, and several AHU manufacturers and engineers are already using Kinetix Air. The focus for the next phase is to build long-term relationships with key industry partners to help innovative AHU manufacturers thrive in the face of increasing demand for speed, efficiency, and ecological responsibility by radically re-engineering and streamlining standard operating procedures.
