Process recipes and plant telemetry stay on the floor — on one in-perimeter stack, not a console per vendor.
Manufacturing and energy operations run hybrid fleets of software planners, PLCs, and physical machines — and the process recipes, yield data, and plant telemetry that move through them are trade-secret data that stays on the floor, off any vendor cloud. Today that means a stitched estate: planners on one platform, machines in vendor consoles, safety written into application code, audit scattered across clouds — assembled per line, per site, per vendor, and patched by whoever has time. Visca runs the estate as one stack inside your network — one identity model, one credential model, one runtime with safety envelopes, one record — with its own operators keeping every site current.
Why the data can't leave
Fleet configurations live in middleware configs, vendor consoles, and tribal knowledge. Two sites drift apart, and nobody can show a reviewer what's actually running at either one.
Operational limits and interlocks are written into application logic, differently by every team. Auditing them is reading code, not reading a policy.
When a line faults, telemetry is in one vendor's cloud, interventions in another log. Reconstructing the sequence takes days.
One stack, not a stitched one
Each machine carries an attested identity. Commands are cryptographically attributable to a specific machine in a specific configuration.
A command to a machine runs on a scoped, time-bound credential — this machine, this operation, this window — not a standing connection from planner to floor.
Operational limits and interlocks — geofences, force limits, allowed operations — are enforced uniformly by the runtime across vendors. Auditing them is reading policy.
Every planner decision, actuation, and operator intervention lands in one chained record. A line fault is reconstructed in minutes, not days.
The stack's own operators deploy, upgrade, patch, and rotate credentials across sites — recorded, so what's running at each site is answerable from the ledger, not from memory.
What you get
Relevant frameworks
Visca Cloud has not yet completed formal certification against these frameworks; the stack is architected to meet them and audits are in progress. See the compliance roadmap.
In practice
A packaging line halts on a safety interlock. The postmortem is a replay of one record: the planner's command, the credential behind it, the attested machine identity, the envelope check that tripped, and the operator's reset — one timeline, across planner software and floor hardware, reconstructed in minutes. The fix ships through the resident operators, and the patch lands on the same record the postmortem cites.
Account data, balances, and PII can't leave the bank. The stack that handles them runs inside it — and answers the examiner.
PHI can't be shipped to a model API. The scribe, the model, and the record all run in your tenancy — on a stack that maintains itself.
Telemetry, layouts, and shipment data stay on-site. Software agents and robots run on one in-perimeter stack, under one record.
Classified and sensitive data never leaves the boundary. The whole stack runs inside it — air-gapped, and able to maintain itself there.
Pricing, sourcing, and customer data stay inside each company's walls — while their agents still work across the boundary.
The Autonomy Stack for regulated industries
Identity, credentials, runtime, and audit — shipped as part of your product, run inside your customer's walls, operated by agents under the same ledger as everything else. Nothing leaves the perimeter. Nothing is off the record.
