Welding Software That Runs
Entirely on Hardware You Own.
Elenchon is a containerized appliance installed in your facility — not a cloud subscription. Your weld records stay on your own hardware, served to the floor on-site and — with the optional Remote Access Module — reached from anywhere through Phrakton's outbound-only encrypted fabric, with no vendor cloud holding your data. And your finance team gets a flat, predictable cost instead of a bill that grows with every seat and every year.
Your Factory's Data Belongs in Your Factory
On-premise welding software is installed on hardware inside your own facility rather than accessed as a cloud service, so your weld records live on your server, on your local network, under your control — not on a vendor's cloud. For heavy industry, weld records and intellectual property are boardroom-level assets, not files to hand to a third party. Elenchon delivers the whole platform as a sovereign appliance that lives on your premises: full data ownership, no forced updates, and no vendor cloud between you and your own records. It is the on-premise, offline-capable alternative to cloud welding software — every capability of the platform, none of the cloud exposure.
Absolute Data Ownership
Your records sit on your hardware — and stay yours, even if you leave.
Sovereignty means the data is physically and legally yours. Elenchon is built so you are never renting access to your own history.
- On your physical hardware: Manufacturing data lives on a dedicated local server in your facility, under your jurisdiction — never on a shared cloud server.
- No lock-in: Cancel anytime and keep permanent view-only access to all historical data for audits.
- Automated local backups: Customizable, frequent backups to isolated physical storage guarantee business continuity, without shipping your data offsite.
No Cloud to Depend On
No dependence on a vendor's cloud or the public internet.
When your traceability system lives in someone else's data center, their bad day becomes yours. Elenchon removes that dependency entirely.
- No cloud to depend on: Your data and the app live on your appliance, so a vendor cloud outage can't hold your records hostage — there's no third party between you and your own data.
- No forced updates: The appliance is insulated from forced OS or platform updates that reboot your tools without warning.
- Offline-first capture: Capture is built to run disconnected — welders keep recording with no connection at all, and every entry queues on-device and syncs automatically on reconnect. Nothing is lost in a Wi-Fi dead zone. (Included on Standard; the offline document viewer is on every plan.)
A Cost Your CFO Can Actually Model
Owned hardware and flat pricing, instead of a subscription that only ever grows.
On-premise isn't just a security posture — it changes the shape of the bill. Elenchon is priced so total cost of ownership is knowable up front.
- Flat rate per appliance: One published monthly rate per appliance with a generous block of workers included — and extra seats at a low, published €9/month, not an uncapped meter that surprises you as the team grows.
- Hardware at cost: The mini-PC appliance is passed through at cost, with zero markup, so you own the machine rather than renting compute forever.
- Every number in the open: Add-ons, one-time fees and uptime credits are all published in plain euros, so finance can model the full cost before you ever email us.
Sovereignty Regulators Increasingly Expect
Keeping manufacturing data on hardware you control, with no open inbound ports and automated local backups, is a concrete data-sovereignty posture — the kind that pairs naturally with the ISO 3834, EN 1090 and ASME IX quality-code evidence Elenchon already produces, and that sits well with tightening EU expectations around access control, encryption and supply-chain security for manufacturers. Every cloud dependency adds a third-party processor and a cross-border question; an on-premise appliance simply doesn't.
On-Premise Welding Software, Answered
What sovereignty, offline capability and owned hardware actually mean for your shop.
What is on-premise welding software?
It is welding software installed on hardware inside your own facility, rather than accessed as a cloud service. Your weld records live on your server, under your control, and the system keeps working whether or not you have an internet connection. Elenchon is delivered exactly this way.
Is Elenchon cloud-based or on-premise?
On-premise. Elenchon is a containerized appliance installed in your facility — the sovereign alternative to cloud welding software. Your data never touches a shared server, there are no forced updates, and you don't depend on a vendor's cloud to reach your own records.
Does it work offline?
Yes — offline is a first-class mode, not a fallback. On-site, the appliance is served over your own network; off-site, authorised staff can reach it through Phrakton's encrypted fabric with the optional Remote Access Module. Offline work capture is built to run disconnected: entries are held in a durable on-device queue and sync automatically, in order, the moment the connection returns. The offline document viewer — saving a WPS or plan for instant access — is available on every plan.
How does on-premise affect cost?
It makes cost predictable. You pay one published, flat rate per appliance with a generous block of workers included and any extra seats at a low, published €9/month, the hardware is passed through at cost, and every add-on and fee is listed in plain euros — so your finance team can model total cost of ownership up front instead of watching an uncapped subscription grow. See the full on-premise vs. cloud comparison.
What happens to our data if we cancel?
It stays with you. The data is on your physical hardware, and you keep permanent view-only access to all historical records for audits. There is no lock-in and no exit fee.
Can staff still access it remotely?
Yes, securely. Authorised staff and auditors connect through Phrakton, a zero-trust, post-quantum-safe overlay, while the appliance opens no inbound ports to the public internet — remote reach without exposing your factory.
Sovereign On the Network, Too
On-premise keeps your data in the building; Phrakton keeps it invisible on the wire. Our zero-trust network overlay lets authorised people reach the appliance through mutually authenticated, post-quantum-safe tunnels, while the factory opens no inbound ports and advertises no reachable address.
Put Your Weld Data on Hardware You Own
Every Elenchon appliance is delivered, installed and configured on-site by our own engineers, so we take a strictly limited number of deployments each quarter. Get in touch to reserve a slot, request a scoping call, or ask the technical questions your team needs answered first.
