At KAHN Engineering, we take a solution-based approach. We start with what you're experiencing—your situation—then engineer solutions that fix the real issue and deliver measurable results.
Clients usually describe symptoms—things that won't connect, compliance gaps, something that keeps failing—not the underlying cause. That's normal. We're used to it. We listen, we understand your situation, and we help get to the root of the problem.
We don't sell products or services—we solve problems. Our approach starts with what you're experiencing and gets to the real issue, so you get solutions that actually fix the situation.
You tell us the symptoms—what's going wrong, what's frustrating you. We don't expect you to have the diagnosis. We listen to your situation, ask the right questions, and work with you to identify the root cause.
We take the symptoms you've described and analyze your situation from multiple angles—technical, operational, financial, and strategic. Then we design a solution that addresses the real issue, not just the surface problem.
Every solution is custom-designed for your specific situation. We present options with clear trade-offs, helping you make informed decisions that align with your business objectives.
Our implementation process is thorough, well-documented, and focused on delivering the outcomes you need. We manage complexity so you don't have to.
We establish metrics upfront and track them throughout. After delivery, we measure results and optimize to ensure you're getting maximum value from your solution.
Our relationship doesn't end at delivery. We provide ongoing support, optimization, and evolution of your solutions as your needs change.
We solve challenges across multiple engineering domains, often combining capabilities to deliver comprehensive solutions.
Challenge: Your legacy systems are reliable but can't integrate with modern infrastructure or meet current standards.
Our Solution: We analyze your legacy systems, design integration strategies, create interface layers, and ensure compliance—all while preserving your valuable existing infrastructure.
Challenge: You need specialized functionality that off-the-shelf embedded systems can't provide.
Our Solution: We design and develop custom embedded systems tailored to your exact requirements, from hardware design through firmware development.
Challenge: Multiple systems need to work together, but they weren't designed to integrate.
Our Solution: We design integration architectures, develop interface layers, and ensure seamless communication between disparate systems.
Challenge: Your systems need enhanced security, but you can't afford to replace them entirely.
Our Solution: We assess your security posture, identify vulnerabilities, and implement hardening measures that protect your systems without disrupting operations.
Challenge: Your systems must meet industry standards or regulatory requirements, but they weren't designed with compliance in mind.
Our Solution: We analyze requirements, assess gaps, and implement changes that bring your systems into compliance while maintaining functionality.
Challenge: Standard equipment or components don't meet your requirements, and you need custom fabrication.
Our Solution: We design custom hardware, equipment, and software, then fabricate or oversee fabrication to your exact specifications.
Our past projects span industrial communications, custom interfaces, security, and monitoring. Here are some of the types of solutions we've delivered.
Interfaces and integration involving RS-232, RS-485, Modbus (RTU and TCP), and CAN bus. We've built gateways, adapters, and protocol translators for legacy and modern equipment.
Interfaces for custom and proprietary devices—hardware and software—so they work with your existing systems, HMIs, and control networks.
Bluetooth and wireless device hardening for security and reliability in industrial and commercial applications.
Secure remote monitoring and control of industrial equipment—design and implementation with proper authentication, encryption, and access control.
Emergency notification and alerting systems integrated with industrial equipment and processes, including fail-safe and redundant designs.
Bridging legacy protocols and equipment to modern networks, HMIs, and cloud or on-premise monitoring systems.
Traditional engineering services often focus on technical specifications. We focus on business outcomes.
When you engage KAHN Engineering, you're not just buying engineering services—you're partnering with a team that understands your business context and designs solutions accordingly.
This approach means:
Every great solution starts with understanding what you're actually experiencing. Tell us the symptoms—what's going wrong—and we'll work with you to get to the root cause and design a solution that fixes it.
We're used to clients who don't have the full picture yet. We'll listen, ask the right questions, and make sure we understand your situation before we propose anything.
While every solution is unique, our methodology ensures consistency, thoroughness, and results.
We start with what you're experiencing—the symptoms—and conduct thorough discovery to understand your situation from all angles. This includes technical assessment, business context, constraint identification, and success criteria. We don't expect you to have the root cause; we help find it.
We design solutions that address your specific challenge, considering technical feasibility, business impact, risk, cost, and long-term maintainability. Multiple options are presented with clear trade-offs.
Our implementation process is methodical, well-documented, and focused on delivering the outcomes you need. We manage complexity, coordinate stakeholders, and ensure quality throughout.
We validate that solutions meet requirements, measure outcomes against success criteria, and optimize for maximum value. Ongoing support ensures continued success.
