# Architecture and Infrastructure Hybrid **Edge + Cloud**. The edge captures and pre-processes; the cloud models and serves. ## Edge - **Edge Connector** deployed at **Purdue Level 3 / DMZ**. - Speaks **OPC UA** to historians/SCADA. - **Outbound HTTPS (443) only — no inbound ports.** This single design choice is what passes plant security review. See [[Renacore/Security and Zero Trust]]. ## Data & modeling - **TimescaleDB** — time-series hypertables for sensor streams. - **Qdrant** — vector database powering RAG over asset history, manuals, and prior events. - **Hybrid model core**: statistical features + **gradient-boosted trees** + deterministic thresholds + **physics-constraint validation**. Practical and deployable — the engineering-grade cousin of [[Physics Informed Neural Operators]]. - **1 Hz analytics loop**, results pushed over **WebSocket** to the UI. - **Agentic triage** drafts work orders → CMMS (**SAP PM, IBM Maximo**), human approves. ## Deployment - MVP runs on **Docker Compose**; **Kubernetes** on the roadmap. - Delivery options: **On-Prem / VPC** to satisfy data-residency and OT isolation. ## Why it matters The architecture is the proof that the [[Renacore/Asset-Centric Intelligence Layer]] is genuinely low-touch. Every choice — outbound-only, read-only, on-prem option, physics validation — is bent toward *installable in <30 days without disrupting operations*.
