Your data. Your ownership.
MachineWise runs on a server inside your plant. Production data never leaves your network, monitoring keeps running when the internet does not, and there are no recurring cloud bills for the privilege of seeing your own machines.
Your production data is a strategic asset. Treat it like one.
Whose cloud is it anyway?
Cycle times, rejection rates and capacity are competitively sensitive. On-premises means they live on your hardware, under your roof.
The subscription that never ends
Cloud-first platforms charge for storing your own data, forever. On-premises removes recurring cloud costs, and the saving compounds.
Internet down is not monitoring down
Shop-floor internet fails. An on-premises server keeps recording, alerting in the plant and computing OEE.
What happens when the internet goes down?
Pull the plug on the plant's internet and see what keeps working. Everything that matters on the floor runs on your own server and your own LAN.
On-premises or cloud: an honest comparison.
Both are legitimate. The table shows where each wins.
| Cloud-hosted | MachineWise on-premises | |
|---|---|---|
| Where machine data lives | Vendor's cloud account | Your server, inside your plant |
| Recurring hosting fees | Monthly, for as long as you use it | None |
| Internet outage | Dashboards and alerts stop | Floor keeps running on the LAN |
| Data export | Depends on the vendor | Standard formats, any time |
| Defence and aerospace residency | Hard to prove | Air-gapped option |
| Remote access from anywhere | Built in | Optional, when you enable it |
| Best fit | Single small site, no IT at all | Plants that treat production data as an asset |
Private by design, not by policy.

Where this connects to the rest of the platform.
Straight answers.
What does on-premises deployment mean for MachineWise?
Does MachineWise need the internet to work?
Are there recurring cloud fees?
Can we still use the cloud or connect several plants?
Who owns the data?
Is on-premises always the right choice?
Keep your production data where it belongs.
