Precision HVACR Engineering: MasterFlow's Digital Transformation
We transformed MasterFlow Australia's legacy desktop system into PipeMASTER – a robust web-based solution for engineers and architects to design and optimize industrial heating and cooling systems.
About
Masterflow
Masterflow Australia is an innovative leader in providing high-quality solutions and unparalleled HVACR services across Australia and New Zealand. They specialize in complex heating and cooling systems for industrial plants and large-scale factories.
To support their engineers and architects, Masterflow required a sophisticated digital tool capable of facilitating educated decisions about system components based on complex parameters like motor speed, airflow, and pressure.
We partnered with Masterflow to bridge the gap between legacy desktop limitations and modern web accessibility, ensuring their precision engineering could be accessed from anywhere.
The Challenge.
Visit WebsiteTransforming a heavy, legacy desktop system into a high-performance web application without losing precision or data integrity.
MasterFlow Australia already had a desktop legacy system in use. Our challenge was to recreate an application that would not run on a standalone desktop but be available on the web and accessible to all.
Another critical challenge was to transfer the complex features, specialized functionality, and the massive database from the legacy system to the new application. This required a more refined architecture and a robust database design to facilitate high-end engineering calculations.
