What's coming next for TRS
TRS is live in a real shop and growing module by module. Here is the direction we are building toward, and why early shops get to shape it.

Where we are
TRS runs every day in an Auckland precision shop, and it is built the way it is sold: module by module. Inventory, gauges, machine uptime and the CAM round-trip are live, with the access surfaces (mobile, terminal, shop-floor screens) and the assistant layered on top. Nothing here is a mock-up. The screenshots on this site are the real product running on real data.
That is the foundation. Here is where it is heading.
More than one CAM
Shops do not all run the same CAM, and many run more than one. TRS already round-trips with GibbsCAM, including three-tier gage-length validation so a wrong stick-out is caught before the first cut. The direction is clear: TRS owns the operational layer and acts as the hub, seeded from whichever CAM a shop uses. Fusion and Mastercam are the next systems on that path. TRS will never author geometry; it makes the tool library true across whatever you program in.
Deeper into the machine
Uptime today tells you cost per run-hour. The next step is tighter machine integration, so the loop runs all the way to the spindle: what is loaded, what is running, what is due. Pot Manager and the assembly displays are the start of that; more of the floor coming online is the rest.
Still modular, on purpose
The temptation with any growing product is to bundle everything into one big suite and charge for the lot. We are deliberately not doing that. Each module earns its place on its own, and you add it when the shop is ready, not before. The roadmap adds modules; it does not add things you are forced to buy.
Early shops shape it
TRS is being built with a small number of design partners, not in a vacuum. What gets built next is weighted by what real shops keep running into. If you run a shop and something here sounds like a problem you have, that is exactly the conversation we want to be in, and the time to be in it is now, while the roadmap is still being set.
