​​​​The four main pillars of aircalc NEXT are:

​​

Core application:

The core application, developed by DIVID, is built on a foundation of hundreds of microservices operating within a centrally hosted and managed cloud environment, supported by leading hosting providers. It forms the backbone of the software, encompassing all graphical components, the user interface, and essential calculations such as physical principles, Eurovent/RTL/EcoDesign compliance, and interfaces to the supporting pillars.

To address various tasks, default microservices are provided, each of which can be seamlessly replaced with a custom version when needed. This architecture offers limitless possibilities for client-specific solutions while minimizing maintenance efforts.

 

Promaster database:

All selection rules, calculation rules, and component data are stored in a comprehensive database. As a customer, you will receive full access to this database. During the initial two workshops, we provide hands-on training to ensure you can work with it efficiently and effectively.

The database acts as the "brain" of the software, instructing the core application on how to select and calculate your AHU according to your requirements. Adding new components is straightforward—simply insert new entries into specific tables to guide the core application through the necessary steps.

To get you started, aircalc NEXT comes with a pre-populated database filled with parameters and rules derived from our extensive experience. During the first meeting, we personalize the software for you by aligning it with your corporate identity. Together, we configure casing types with their technical characteristics and trade names. From that point forward, you have complete control to modify and adjust the database as needed, making it fully tailored to your business.

With this setup, aircalc NEXT is ready for technical calculations immediately after the first meeting.

 

Expressions for writing custom code:

As an extension to the database features, the software includes a built-in application programming interface (API) integrated into aircalc NEXT. This powerful functionality allows you to develop custom functions, similar to macros in MS Office, to handle calculations or data processing tasks that might otherwise be challenging or impossible with standard database capabilities.

These custom functions can be utilized to create tailored exports, read data from external tables or APIs, and further enhance the capabilities of aircalc NEXT. This flexibility ensures seamless integration with external systems and enables you to adapt the software to your specific requirements.

 

DLL-Cloud:

An AHU is a combination of purchased and self-manufactured components, assembled into a single functional unit. Since purchased parts play a critical role in defining the performance of an AHU, we have integrated more than 30 AHU component supplier software solutions into aircalc NEXT. This integration covers all major components, including fans, coils, humidifiers, and heat recovery systems, from leading suppliers such as Comefri, Nicotra Gebhardt, and DBM. An up-to-date list of all integrated supplier software can be provided upon request.

The purpose of these "black box" integrations is to empower users to calculate all components within a single software environment, eliminating the need to switch between platforms, copy and paste data, or waste valuable time. The selection process is designed to be smooth and user-friendly, with all calculations handled through the same intuitive interface.

All supplier calculation programs are virtualized and containerized using a standardized procedure developed by DIVID. This ensures that every program can operate as a web service within our data center infrastructure, providing seamless and efficient performance.

 

aircalc NEXT significantly boosts your efficiency by seamlessly handling every step of the process: from unit design and technical calculations to sales price lists, from offers to orders, from bill of materials for purchased parts to drawings and commands for automatic machining (NC), and even the optimized selection of trucks and loading lists.

With aircalc NEXT, you can reduce processing time from several hours to just a few minutes, all while achieving a significant improvement in quality.

Ready to use from day one, aircalc NEXT is the premier choice for AHU selection software with delivery on order. After the first workshop, during which we collaboratively input data on your construction and design into the database, you can start using your aircalc NEXT immediately—no additional programming is required. All customers work with the same software version, granting you access to our extensive experience and the collective knowledge of all our customers in a cost-efficient manner.

aircalc NEXT has become the standard for AHU manufacturers worldwide, and the continuous development of aircalc NEXT is guaranteed.

We actively collect feedback and feature requests from our customers. With near-weekly updates, we deliver a constant stream of new features and improvements, ensuring significant functionality upgrades at minimal cost.

Our role extends beyond software updates—we also expand the number of "black box" integrations and keep supplier components up to date. More and more suppliers authorize us to integrate their components into aircalc NEXT, and this is provided at no additional cost to our customers.

During our meetings and training sessions, you’ll learn how to manage the base data and effectively use the software. Using real data, we’ll demonstrate how to extend aircalc NEXT with personalized products and how to incorporate specific rules, such as those for TÜV, VDI, or EUROVENT. While all base certification rules are pre-activated, you have the flexibility to customize additional rules as needed.

In 3 to 6 months, you can have aircalc NEXT fully operational with 90% of your data, prices, and rules. This timeline can be shortened if you have a dedicated and efficient database manager. The setup period depends on your efforts to collect and input rules and data into the database. Remember, this will become your personalized database—not a generic calculation tool.

aircalc NEXT is designed to work in English by default, but it also offers full multilingual capabilities. By populating the open database with translations, you can customize it for any language you require.

 

 

When you choose us, you're not just purchasing software - you're investing in the future of your business.

 

Don't settle for compromises.​​
