INDUSTRIAL HARDWARE + FIRMWARE · BUILT FOR YOUR AI
Build your own AI-controlled machine.
Brain is the industrial hardware and firmware platform underneath your application. Connect cameras, sensors and actuators, then program the machine with your own software, your preferred AI or Brain's built-in tools.
NVIDIA Jetson included •20 PoE ports •Power up to 63 A •Modular I/O •Brain Firmware included
ONE STANDARD PLATFORM
The industrial foundation is already built.
Brain combines NVIDIA Jetson, 20 PoE ports, protected power distribution, modular industrial I/O and Brain Firmware in one repeatable platform. The low-level hardware work is done. You focus on the logic, user experience and AI that make your machine different.
- Local AI on NVIDIA Jetson
- 20 PoE devices per unit
- Power distribution up to 63 A
- Expandable I/O architecture
- Firmware, APIs and safety layer
- 5 hours direct support included
STANDARD IN EVERY BRAIN
One hardware base. Clear expansion.
Every unit starts with the same compute, network, power and firmware architecture. Add I/O capacity without redesigning the machine or changing your application.

CLEAR RESPONSIBILITIES
We handle the machine layer. You own the application.
Brain Firmware turns physical hardware into stable, documented interfaces. Your team can change models, software and workflows without rebuilding the control cabinet underneath.
Brain Firmware
Drivers, device state, diagnostics, permissions and recovery.
Open interfaces
Python SDK, REST API, MCP, industrial protocols and realtime events.
Your software & AI
Your code, your model, your rules, your user interface and data.
Authorized control
Commands return through the firmware safety layer to the machine.
The AI can change. Brain Firmware remains the stable boundary to the machine.
YOUR SOFTWARE · YOUR AI
Program it yourself. Or let Brain help.
Build with Python, REST, MCP or your preferred AI model. Brain's own agent can generate control logic, HMI screens and alarms when you want it — but the hardware and firmware remain fully usable without a cloud AI service.
THE DIVISION OF WORK
Industrial AI, affordable at scale.
Your application stays yours.
Standard hardware keeps the unit cost down. You buy the industrial platform and Brain Firmware once per machine; your team or integrator develops the application on top. Interkey maintains the connection to cameras, sensors, I/O and power and supports you when needed.
Program freely
Use Python, REST, MCP and industrial protocols. Build your own control logic, dashboards, AI tools and integrations.
Bring your own AI
Run models locally on the included Jetson or connect the provider of your choice. Brain's AI tools remain optional.
Scale one design
Develop on one unit, then repeat the same hardware and firmware base across a machine series or an entire site.
HARDWARE — DESIGNED FOR SERIES
One board set. Many machines.
Custom Brain control boards with isolated I/O and on-board power. Designed in Vienna to move from a working prototype to repeatable series production without changing the platform.
DESIGNED IN VIENNA • MODULAR I/O • SERIES-READY
Configure a Brain →FIRST APPLICATIONS
Two concrete ways to build on Brain.
Greenhouse automation
Connect climate sensors, irrigation, vents, pumps, lighting and cameras. Develop your own crop logic and local AI on the same industrial platform.
- Temperature, humidity, CO₂, pH and EC data
- RTD, analog and digital sensor inputs
- Authorized control of pumps, valves and lighting
- Local camera analysis on NVIDIA Jetson
AI video security
Connect up to 20 PoE cameras, analyze video locally and combine detections with customer-defined alerts and authorized physical responses.
- 20 PoE camera or device connections
- Local inference without mandatory cloud upload
- Customer-defined detection models and rules
- Controlled responses through I/O and relays
The application belongs to you. Brain provides the repeatable hardware, firmware and direct technical support underneath.
Build once. Deploy from one machine to hundreds.
