# FAQ

### Does IntelFactor require internet access?

No. Inspection runs locally. Internet only affects optional cloud visibility.

### Does data leave the factory?

Only if you enable export or sync. The fully-local mode keeps evidence on-site.

### What happens if the site server is down?

Edge nodes keep inspecting. Site dashboards can be temporarily unavailable.

### Can IntelFactor stop the line or change PLC parameters?

No. IntelFactor is not a control system. It suggests actions only.

### How do updates work?

Updates are staged and signed. Rollback is required if continuity or evidence is impacted.
