The past Tory Users Summit provided an exciting glimpse into the future of Tory Technologies and its products, including MaCRoM, a leading application in the control room management field. The event was a blend of history, innovation, and forward-thinking, providing the perfect opportunity to present the MaCRoM Roadmap, presented by Juan Serinyà, CTO and MaCRoM Product Director. This presentation offered attendees a comprehensive understanding of MaCRoM’s evolution and its plans for the future.
A Journey Through Time
The Roadmap presentation opened with a nostalgic look back at MaCRoM’s journey. From its humble beginnings as a homegrown application to its transformation into a robust and commercially proven product.
The journey of MaCRoM began in 2012, marking the start of its transformation from a simple application to the comprehensive and advanced solution it is today. This evolution was instrumental in shaping the foundation for the current version, MaCRoM 5.0.
MaCRoM 5.0 introduced significant enhancements designed to foster a truly collaborative environment within the control room. Efforts were made to expand API capabilities, allowing for greater integration and flexibility. Operational compliance was further strengthened, ensuring that users could rely on the system to meet industry standards and best practices. In addition, a strong focus was placed on enhancing the overall user experience, making the platform more intuitive and responsive to the needs of its users.
The Roadmap Tracker: Democratizing Development
A significant innovation introduced earlier this year was the Roadmap Tracker, a tool that allows clients to vote on new features. Each user receives specific number of voting tokens, which they can allocate to the features they find most valuable. This democratic approach ensures that the development of MaCRoM is aligned with the needs and preferences of its users.
MaCRoM 6: A Glimpse into the Future
The presentation concluded with an exciting preview of MaCRoM 6, set to be released at the beginning of 2026. This new version will focus on architectural and platform updates, improving grid performance, and introducing more visual configuration tools. A key highlight will be the integration of AI, with the introduction of a “wingman” named TOBOT™, to assist users in navigating the application and consulting the data.
MaCRoM 6 will feature a new module for workload analysis, designed to calculate the workload of shifts based on various factors such as the number of events, alarms, and calls. This module will provide a detailed analysis of workload per shift, per controller, per console, helping organizations manage their resources more effectively.
Another exciting development is the release of the Compliance Monitor module, which will use AI to identify elements that are out of compliance and provide suggestions for rectifying them. This tool will be invaluable in ensuring that organizations remain compliant with industry standards.
MaCRoM Go™: Taking MaCRoM on the Road
Another highlight for the new developments to be released in 2026 is MaCRoM Go, a mobile version of the application designed for use on the go. While it won’t replicate the full functionality of the desktop version, MaCRoM Go will include essential features such as approvals and acknowledgments of notifications, as well as access to modules including ticket management and shift scheduling, making it a valuable tool for field personnel.
Conclusion
The MaCRoM Roadmap presentation was a testament to MaCRoM’s commitment to innovation and user-centric development. With its rich history, robust development process, and exciting future roadmap, MaCRoM continues to lead the way in its field. The introduction of tools like the Roadmap Tracker and the integration of AI in MaCRoM 6 promise to make the application even more powerful and user-friendly. As MaCRoM continues to evolve, its users can look forward to a future of enhanced functionality, improved performance, and greater compliance.
