Spanish term or phrase: planta instalada
Hi all -

I am wondering how to translate this simple phrase into English - the meaning is not the issue, it's what do we say?

It's the main title of a PowerPoint presentation>
Here"s the entire phrase:

Servicios de Soporte Técnico de XXXX
a la planta instalada de YYYYY.

Plant Installation? Or simply "Plant"?

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks!

plant facility/facilities
Explanation:
The only doubt I have is whether it should be singular or plural, it could refer to just one plant or all the company's plants. But there is no CONTEXT on that. Maybe you have it.

disagree  Abstractum: Nope. Planta instalada means the number of certain machines, equipment or systems which have been deployed and are operating. I think installed plant or installed base are more accurate translations.
