Is the system installed on-site or in the cloud?

FixedPlantIQ is typically installed within the plant’s on-premise OT network, which aligns with common cybersecurity and operational technology practices in the mining industry.

Operating within the OT network allows the system to connect directly to plant data sources while maintaining separation from external networks. This architecture supports plant cybersecurity policies and avoids the need to continuously transfer operational data outside the site network.

Because the system operates locally within the plant environment, it can function independently of external connectivity and continue to operate even when internet access is restricted or unavailable.
