A Web Platform for Sirris,Built on Machining Know-How.
Sirris needed a platform to optimise turning and milling: calculating cutting conditions, tool life, economics and costs. ThoughtLabs designed the architecture and built the platform, from the calculation engine to accounts and payments.

About the project
Optimising Turning and Milling, Online.
Sirris is the collective centre of the Belgian technology industry, helping companies put new technology to work. This platform is designed to optimise manufacturing processes, particularly turning and milling operations.
It brings together modules for cutting conditions, tool life, economics, heat maps and cost estimation, alongside user registration, profiles, file storage, payments for premium features and a way to send feedback.

The challenge
Complex Calculations, Made Simple and Secure.
The platform had to run engineering calculations reliably, keep users' data and payments safe, and stay easy to extend as new modules arrive.
Complex Calculations
Work out cutting conditions, tool life and economics accurately from each user's input.
Many Modules, One Platform
Bring turning, milling, heat maps, cost estimation and an expert system together in one place.
Secure Accounts
Registration, sign-in with Google or LinkedIn, and access based on each user's role.
Premium Payments
Let users buy premium features through a secure payment flow.
Saved Work and Files
Keep every calculation and uploaded document so users can come back to them.
Room to Grow
Scale with traffic and new modules without reworking the core.
Our approach
Architecture First, Then Build With Confidence.
ThoughtLabs started with a technical architecture, shared with Sirris, that set out every component and how they work together.

Analyse
We studied the calculation modules, user journeys and data the platform would need, from cutting conditions to payment history.
The platform
Inside the Platform.
Every evaluation follows the same three steps and ends in a report an engineer can act on. These captures show the platform with a sample evaluation.
A finished evaluation: cutting force, deflection and three scores on a red-to-green scale.
Power, torque and the force and deflection profiles over one rotation of the tool.
The evaluate and optimise workflows, side by side.
The result
Machining Calculations, Ready When Needed.
ThoughtLabs delivered a secure, scalable web platform that brings Sirris's turning and milling modules together online.
