Boilerplate

About Interkey — ready to paste.

English

Interkey builds AI-native industrial control systems. Brain combines controller, I/O, operator interface, AI agent and machine vision in a single cabinet, replacing a traditional multi-vendor PLC stack. Instead of programming the machine, the user describes it in plain language and an AI agent running on the cabinet generates the control system. Brain runs air-gapped, with customers bringing their own AI keys. The company was founded by Moritz Marcovici, an electrical engineer and CEO of WAVE Trockensysteme, Brain's launch customer.

Deutsch

Interkey entwickelt KI-native industrielle Steuerungssysteme. Brain vereint Steuerung, I/O, Bedienoberfläche, KI-Agent und Bildverarbeitung in einem Schaltschrank und ersetzt damit einen klassischen SPS-Aufbau aus mehreren Gewerken. Statt die Maschine zu programmieren, beschreibt der Anwender sie in normaler Sprache — ein KI-Agent auf dem Schrank erzeugt daraus das Steuerungssystem. Brain arbeitet air-gapped, Kunden bringen ihre eigenen KI-Schlüssel mit. Gegründet wurde das Unternehmen von Moritz Marcovici, Elektrotechniker und Geschäftsführer von WAVE Trockensysteme, dem Erstkunden von Brain.
