Climate control
Read temperature, humidity, CO₂ and zone states, then build the control strategy that fits your crop and facility.
INTERKEY BRAIN · AGRICULTURAL AUTOMATION
Build the intelligence your agricultural site needs.
Brain supplies the industrial hardware, firmware and safe machine interface. You build the crop strategy, automation, imaging and AI for greenhouses, fields and mixed sites.

THE PLATFORM MODEL
We handle the machine layer. You own the growing logic.
Brain provides
- Industrial compute, PoE, I/O and power hardware
- Firmware, drivers, diagnostics and recovery
- Permissions, limits and audit trail for physical actions
- Documented interfaces and direct engineering support
Your team builds
- Crop recipes, setpoints and operating strategy
- Python services, dashboards and mobile interfaces
- Vision, prediction and optimization models
- Links to weather, ERP and farm-management systems
WHAT YOU CAN BUILD
One physical platform. Your agricultural software.
These are application possibilities, not a locked operating recipe. Brain gives your developers and integrators the hardware access needed to implement them.
Irrigation & fertigation
Combine schedules, pH, EC, flow and drain data with your own rules, optimization model or operator approval flow.
Vents, screens & lighting
Coordinate motors, shades, fans, valves and grow lights through documented I/O and protected switching.
Energy management
Use forecasts, tariffs and live process data to schedule loads without giving AI unrestricted access to the machine.
Local computer vision
Connect PoE cameras and run your own crop, growth or anomaly models locally on the included NVIDIA Jetson.
Weather & flight data
Combine local measurements, regional forecasts and compatible drone APIs in the workflows your farm actually needs.
FIELD ARCHITECTURE
Fifty metres is not a special case.
Agricultural sites are distributed by nature. Brain belongs in an engineered cabinet topology, with the right transport selected for each signal, load and distance.
Central Brain cabinet
Jetson + I/O + 20 PoE + 63 ADATA
PoE / Ethernet
up to 100 m per copper segment
SENSOR
4-wire RTD / 4-20 mA
direct field measurement
CONTROL
Relay / contactor / drive
matched to the actual load
Final cable type, shielding, surge protection, grounding and voltage drop are reviewed for the real site.
1. PoE and Ethernet
Use the 20 onboard PoE ports for cameras and networked devices within a designed copper segment.
2. 4-wire RTD and 4-20 mA
Run temperature and process sensors back to the cabinet with lead compensation and noise-resistant signaling.
3. Distributed field topology
Plan a local field cabinet, protected network link or fibre backbone, then keep the final sensor drops short.
4. Loads stay engineered
Switch valves and small loads directly where appropriate. Control motors and larger loads through contactors or drives.
Add context beyond the fence line.
Weather and aerial imagery become valuable when your software connects them to local measurements, operating rules and human approval.
Local truth, regional context
WEATHER STATION + FORECAST API
A local station measures what is happening at the crop: wind, rain, temperature, humidity and leaf conditions. Regional data adds the next hours and days.
Your application can use both for irrigation demand, frost response, venting, energy scheduling and flight decisions. Brain does not lock you to one weather provider.
A complete drone image loop
SCHEDULE + VENDOR API + LOCAL AI
Connect a compatible dock or drone platform through its API. Your software schedules waypoint missions, checks weather and status, ingests the media, and runs its own crop or anomaly models on the included Jetson.
PLAN → FLY → INGEST → ANALYSE → REVIEW → ACT
Flight permissions, airspace checks and operational responsibility remain with the customer or flight operator.
SITE CONFIGURATOR
Describe the site. See the system take shape.
Build a first planning model from your zones, cable distances and intended workflows. Send it to Interkey and we turn the concept into an I/O map, cabinet topology and commercial proposal.
