THE BRAIN REVOLUTION

The industrial control system for teams and agents

A vertically integrated PLC cabinet. Describe a machine in plain language and Brain builds the control program, operator screens, alarms, and PID loops -- autonomously.

HARDWARE

Ships as a cabinet. Built to last a decade.

A fully enclosed industrial cabinet -- controller, 220 I/O points, power distribution, emergency stop, status display, and the AI co-processor -- pre-wired and pre-tested. Mount it, connect it, describe the machine.

14-inch status panel

A shop-floor-visible Qt/QML panel shows live trends, alarms, and system status across a 3840x1100 widescreen display.

I/O

Modular I/O stack

Custom STM32-based I/O boards for RTD, DI, DO, SSR, and power supply -- all on a single RS-485 bus with Modbus RTU.

WIRING

Pre-wired, pre-tested

64 RTD + 64 DI + 64 DO + 24 SSR + 2 PSU + 2 camera channels, terminated on labelled terminal blocks ready for field wiring.

VERTICALLY INTEGRATED

A new kind of PLC. Vertically integrated from the PCB to the AI agent, Interkey Brain replaces the SCADA stack, the HMI panel, and the engineering workstation with a single system that ships ready to run.

ARCHITECTURE

Vertically integrated

Hardware, firmware, and software designed to work together. 220 I/O points, real-time scan, and a browser IDE -- out of the box.

AI AGENTS

Powered by AI agents

Describe a machine in plain English and Brain writes the program, builds the HMI, and configures alarms. Zero PLC programming required.

AI PLC AGENT

Describe a machine, ship a control system

Tell Brain what you're building. It reads the live system, writes an IEC 61131-3 program, creates an operator HMI, configures alarms, tunes PID loops, and starts the engine -- all streamed in real time.

Build a freeze dryer with 4 heaters on SSR0–SSR3, RTD0–RTD3 feedback, PID at 60°C, alarm if any heater exceeds 80°C.

PLC PROGRAMMING

Program in any paradigm

Ladder Logic, Structured Text, Function Block Diagram, Sequential Function Chart, and ISA-88 Batch Control -- all editable through the browser IDE, with live simulation and a full propose, review, approve, deploy workflow.

HMI BUILDER

Drag, drop, deploy

Build custom operator screens from real faceplates -- Motors, Tanks, PIDs, Valves, Zones, Conveyors. Bind them to tags, publish to the tablet, and ship operator-ready HMI pages without writing a line of code.

VISION AND AUDIO

Monitoring that teaches itself

An NVIDIA Jetson co-processor runs self-learning anomaly detection on every camera and microphone. No annotations, no model training, no programming -- Brain learns what normal looks like and tells you when it stops.

One system, every surface

An admin dashboard for engineers, a tablet HMI for operators, a mobile PWA for commissioning, and a 14-inch status panel for the shop floor -- each optimized for its audience, all backed by the same tags and the same realtime engine.

ALARMS

Catch problems before operators do

A unified alarm table with severity, grouping, acknowledgement, and full audit history. Push notifications by email, WebSocket, and SMS -- plus autonomous Responder rules that can shut down a heater the moment it overshoots.

WHAT THEY SAY

“Brain built a working freeze-drying cycle from a paragraph of plain English. What used to take our engineers a full commissioning week ran on day one.”

Wave Trockensysteme GmbH

First pilot customer -- Wave CC freeze dryer

“A cabinet that ships with the HMI, the SCADA, and the engineering workstation all pre-integrated. This is what industrial control should have been a decade ago.”
