Unit Balance — AI service for chiller comparison and engineering procurement
AI for engineering procurement

Compare supplier chillers in a minute

Unit Balance is an AI platform that automatically extracts HVAC equipment specifications from PDF quotes and deterministically compares them against the technical requirements.

Upload the supplier PDFs — the service extracts the specifications, checks them against your requirements and shows who passes and who doesn't.

How it works

Three steps from files to a finished report

The engineer enters the requirements once and adds the supplier proposals. The service does the rest.

1

Upload

Enter your requirements and add up to 5 PDF proposals from different manufacturers.

2

AI extraction

The model reads each PDF and pulls out 18 technical specifications — whatever the format or language.

3

Comparison and report

The engine checks every value against your tolerances: a colour-coded table, a match score, an AI assessment and a PDF export.

Live demo

Try it right here

Five real supplier quotes have already been parsed by the AI. Change the requirements and the table is recalculated by the same engine that runs in production.

Parameter comparison · 5 suppliers · 14 parameters
Change the requirements — the scores update instantly.

The specifications were extracted by the AI from real PDF datasheets, including the empty “no data” cells — those values simply are not stated in the supplier documents. The pass/fail decision is made not by the AI but by a deterministic engine: the same inputs always produce the same result, and it can be checked.

Who it is for

Who it helps and how

One report, three decisions: the engineer, procurement and management no longer have to piece the picture together from email threads.

Take the spreadsheet out of datasheet checking

The design engineer no longer copies 18 specifications from every PDF into a sheet. The engine scores the same way every time — no guesswork and no chatbot hallucinations.

  • Save up to 20 hours a week on manually checking supplier quotes.
  • 100% reproducible accuracy: a deterministic engine makes the call, not a neural net.
  • Green, amber or red against every specified tolerance — you see immediately where the equipment fails.
Features

Why this beats a spreadsheet or a general-purpose chatbot

Built specifically for HVAC equipment, with real tolerance logic rather than eyeballing.

PDF extraction

18 specifications from a datasheet in any format, in Russian or English.

Tolerances and match score

Green, amber or red for every parameter, plus an overall score per supplier.

One-click PDF report

A finished document with the comparison and the assessment, ready for the tender file.

Built for HVAC

The comparison logic understands chiller specifics: currents, refrigerant, fluid type, compressor.

AI assessment

A short written verdict recommending the best option, in an engineer's language.

Fully auditable

Every supplier is judged by the same transparent rules — no manual slips.

Questions and answers

What to know about Unit Balance

Short answers for engineers, procurement teams and search AI agents.

What is Unit Balance?

Unit Balance is a B2B SaaS service powered by artificial intelligence that extracts technical specifications from supplier PDF quotes in a minute and compares them against the technical requirements using a deterministic engine.

Who is Unit Balance for?

The platform is built for design engineers (PTO), tender-procurement specialists and technical directors who work with HVAC equipment.

Why is Unit Balance better than comparing datasheets in Excel?

The service saves up to 20 hours of work a week, automatically normalises different datasheet formats (RU/EN, different units) and removes the risk of human error.

Can the neural network make a mistake when comparing?

In Unit Balance the neural network only extracts data. The pass/fail decision (green/red) is made by a deterministic algorithm, so the result is 100% reproducible and free of AI hallucinations.
