The top ten questions and a fast path into the full documentation.
Most operational and integration questions are answered in detail at docs.haltless.io. This page surfaces the ten that come up most often during pilot and onboarding.

What buyers and operators ask first
How does Haltless connect to my PLCs?
The edge agent reads OPC UA, Modbus TCP, CSV file watch, and JSON file watch out of the box. It runs on a small Linux box on your IT network or in a DMZ, outbound only to the controllers, with TLS 1.3 to the Haltless cloud. Full deployment notes at docs.haltless.io.
Do I need to install an agent on every machine?
No. One edge agent typically covers a line, a cell, or a small plant, polling many controllers concurrently. Sizing comes down to tag count and sample rate; a typical agent reads thousands of tags per second on commodity hardware.
Where is my data stored?
All tenants are hosted in the United States. The audit chain and your operational data are bound to that region for the lifetime of the tenant.
Can Haltless run on-prem or in a private cloud?
The cloud platform is the default deployment. Single-tenant private cloud and customer-VPC deployment are available on the higher tiers; talk to sales about specific cloud and region pairs.
How long does a pilot take?
Most single-site pilots are productive within two to four weeks: connect the edge agent, validate the tag mapping, let the detectors settle, agree the alert thresholds with the maintenance lead. Multi-site rollouts add a configuration-template step on top.
What protocols do you support today?
OPC UA, Modbus TCP, CSV file watch, and JSON file watch are in production. MQTT, native Siemens S7, and EtherNet/IP are on the platform roadmap. See the architecture page for the current and planned coverage.
How do you handle data residency for international customers?
All Customer Data is hosted in the United States. Tenant data, the audit chain, and the per-tenant signing keys stay in the US region, and your data does not leave it unless you explicitly export it.
Is Haltless an AI or machine-learning platform?
No, by design. The three detection methods (static baseline z-score, EWMA, rate-of-change) are deterministic. The health score is a published formula with a documented per-event deduction schedule. Customers and their auditors can reproduce every number.
How does pricing work?
Per machine, with the specific figure and machine limits quoted per opportunity. Billing runs through Paddle as Merchant of Record, handling VAT and sales tax globally. Request a quote for the exact number.
How do I integrate with my CMMS or ERP?
The platform includes a built-in CMMS workflow and shipped integration with SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics is the next major theme on the roadmap. For other systems we offer webhook contracts and the open Haltless API at docs.haltless.io.
