Proxus 2.0.0 Proxus 2.0: the largest release in Proxus history Release notes

Solutions · IT & data platform

A governed source, not exports of exports.

Production data with a documented model, real access control and a delivery record, so analytics, reporting and AI work from something you can stand behind in an audit.

Provides
A modelled namespace with units, types and quality
Controls
Role and namespace-path permissions, including for AI access
Deploys
Inside your perimeter, with Docker or Kubernetes

Who sees what follows the plant model.

Roles and namespace-path permissions decide what each person, system and AI assistant can read, and every change is in the audit trail.

The shift

What actually changes.

How it works today

  • Plant data arrives through scripts your team cannot see
  • Access is a shared database credential
  • A renamed tag breaks a downstream model without warning
  • Nobody can trace a figure back to the machine that produced it

With Proxus

  • One governed path, documented and owned
  • Roles and namespace-path permissions for people, services and AI
  • Changes to the model are recorded in the audit trail; a change is visible
  • Operational logs per gateway and an audit trail of configuration changes

How it plays out

A typical sequence, step by step.

An illustrative sequence, not a customer story: written to show the shape of the work rather than to claim a result. Your equipment, sites and systems decide the detail.

  1. Review

    Security asks its questions

    Transport, credentials, access model, audit trail and deployment topology are answered before the pilot, not after procurement.

  2. Design

    Build against the model

    Your team reads a documented namespace with units, types and quality instead of reverse-engineering an export.

  3. Operate

    Grant scoped access

    A team, a supplier or an AI assistant receives exactly the branch it should see, and nothing else.

  4. Audit

    Explain a number

    A questioned figure is checked against the gateway’s operational logs and the audit trail of configuration changes.

What Proxus does here

The working parts behind it.

  • Documented model

    A hierarchy and signal definitions your team can design against.

  • Access control

    Users, roles and object-level permissions across data, screens and APIs.

  • Programmatic access

    REST and messaging interfaces, with unlimited API calls in every package.

  • Governed AI access

    An MCP interface so assistants work with production data under their user’s own permissions, with deletes blocked.

  • Runs in your estate

    Containers on your infrastructure, on-premises, private cloud or air-gapped.

  • Evidence trail

    Collection, transformation and delivery history behind every value.

Deployment scope

What a first deployment involves.

You deploy
Containers on your own infrastructure, on-premises or private cloud
You govern
Users, roles and object-level permissions, including namespace paths
You consume
REST, messaging and governed AI access from the same model
You audit
Pipeline revisions, the configuration audit trail and operational logs per gateway
Scope your first line ISO 27001:2022 certified: certificates and security review

What this enables

  • Replace shadow pipelines with a source you can audit
  • Apply one access model to people, integrations and AI clients
  • Build against a schema that changes deliberately and visibly
  • Keep production data inside your own estate

In the product

One namespace from enterprise to tag, with live values

Signals carry units, data types and quality, and changes to the structure are recorded in the audit trail, so a rename is a visible change rather than a broken downstream job.

Local product environment with simulated data.

UNS Explorer: the Meridian namespace opened down to a mixer, with live values, trends and a tag panel.

Questions

What teams ask before starting.

How does this fit next to our existing data platform?
It sits on the OT side of the boundary and feeds yours. Proxus handles collection, modelling and governed delivery; your platform keeps doing analytics and storage the way it already does.
What does access control look like?
Users, roles and object-level permissions, including permissions on namespace paths, applied identically to people, integrations and AI clients.
Can we deploy it on our own Kubernetes?
Yes. Containers, on your infrastructure, on-premises or in private cloud, with a documented deployment path.
How do we audit where a number came from?
Operational logs are kept per gateway, configuration changes are recorded in the audit trail, and pipelines keep revisions you can compare. Together they show what each gateway did and what changed in its configuration.

Next step

Start with one line, not a programme.

Pick the line that causes the most arguments about numbers. We will scope what it takes to make that one trustworthy, and what the second and tenth would cost in effort.

  1. 01

    Scoping call

    Equipment, protocols, sites and the systems the data has to reach.

  2. 02

    Technical walkthrough

    A working demo against a scenario that resembles your plant, not a generic tour.

  3. 03

    Pilot plan

    A defined first line or site, with the deployment and security questions answered up front.

  4. 04

    Roll-out

    The same templates bring the next lines and sites online.
