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 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
Your data and the app live on your appliance — no vendor cloud to depend on.
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.
- Updates on your terms, applied by us: No forced updates that reboot your tools without warning. We apply updates remotely over the Phrakton fabric — your team never patches a thing.
- Maintenance you barely notice: Your only job is to keep the appliance powered on. We handle updates and monitoring remotely, resolve the vast majority of issues without anyone leaving their desk, and — for a critical problem that genuinely can't be fixed remotely — come to your facility at no charge, anywhere in the world. On-premise ownership, without the upkeep people expect it to bring.
- 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 additional seats kept modest at €9/month — a fair, flat figure that scales gently with a larger team, not an uncapped meter that surprises you as it 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
Data sovereignty is where regulation is clearly heading. The EU's NIS2 directive, in force across member states in 2026, already requires the exact controls Elenchon is built on — access control, encryption in transit and at rest, and regularly tested backups. It targets sectors like machinery and vehicle manufacturing directly, but it reaches fabrication shops two ways. First, through the supply chain: your covered customers are obliged to vet the security of their suppliers. Second, through the steady expansion of scope that every revision has brought. Keeping your records on hardware you control — with no open inbound ports, post-quantum-safe encryption on every connection, and automated local backups — puts you ahead of that curve, and pairs naturally with the ISO 3834, EN 1090 and ASME IX quality-code evidence Elenchon already produces. 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.
Does it work offline?
Yes — offline work capture is a first-class mode, not a fallback. Authorised devices reach the appliance through Phrakton's encrypted fabric, on-site and off-site alike. When that connection drops, capture keeps going: entries are held in a durable on-device queue and sync automatically, in order, the moment the connection returns — nothing lost in a Wi-Fi dead zone. 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 additional seats kept modest at €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 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 even auditors — connect through Phrakton, our secure network overlay, while the appliance stays off the public internet — remote reach without exposing your factory.
Isn't on-premise more to maintain?
Not the way we run it. Your only job is to keep the appliance powered on. We connect in remotely over the Phrakton fabric to apply updates and monitor it — your team never patches a thing — and resolve the large majority of issues without anyone leaving their desk. If something critical ever genuinely can't be fixed remotely, we come to your facility to fix it at no charge — anywhere in the world. You get on-premise ownership without an on-premise maintenance burden.
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 appliance runs on your own local network — no vendor cloud between you and your data. Elenchon is delivered exactly this way.
Does running it ourselves mean maintaining a server and updates?
No — on-premise here doesn't mean IT overhead. Elenchon ships as a self-contained containerized appliance we install and configure; there's no server for your team to administer, no update project to run, and nothing to patch on a schedule. You get the ownership of on-premise without inheriting the sysadmin work that usually comes with it.
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 deliberately 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.
