Yes, that is true. You can set AutoQC Loader up to simply import your QC runs into a Skyline document that resides on the instrument PC. In fact, that is always how it works. If you don't give AutoQC Loader a Panorama upload URL, then it just does not upload to Panorama.
However, I will also point out that others have solved the issue with instrument PCs not connected to the Internet, but having the instrument PCs post their QC runs to an internal shared server, and then simply having an Internet-connected PC monitoring the shared server location. There is really no reason Skyline needs to be running on the instrument PCs. Though, it does have the convenient side-effect of leaving a Skyline document on the PC that you can look at, which is also all you get if you don't upload to Panorama.
So, certainly options open to you whether you want only a local Skyline document or even full Panorama QC support.
Thanks for your interest in Panorama QC and for posting to the Skyline support board.

Thanks Brendan,
Thats a good idea to do processing on data processing computers, which are outside lab, and do have connections to Internet. So this is one of potential solutions.
Alternatively do you think it is possible to get our own version of Panorama and host it on our local server ?
If there are some financial aspects involved lets discuss them.
Cheers
