The project
AccuRod SwissSet Pro is a productivity app from Boston Centerless, a US manufacturer and distributor of precision bar materials and a specialist in centerless grinding. Machinists and engineers pick the machine type and material, enter the diameter, and the app returns the exact wrench setting for the job. The same app carries the company's news and industry blog, so users stay up to date between jobs. We built the iOS and Android apps in Flutter, connected to a WordPress backend that the company uses to publish content.
The challenge
- Machinists worked out wrench settings by hand or from printed charts, which was slow and prone to errors.
- Settings depend on the machine, the material and the diameter, so one chart could not cover every job.
- The company had no direct channel for news and updates to the machinists who use its materials.
What we built
- A calculator with machine type and material type pickers and a diameter field.
- Instant results shown clearly enough to use at the machine.
- A news and blog section fed from the company's WordPress site.
- User accounts with profiles, and a lock screen that keeps the tool settings behind sign-in.
