Interkey launches Brain to automate industrial control systems through natural language

Interkey has launched Brain, an AI agent that resides in control cabinets to translate plain language descriptions into functional PLC logic and HMI interfaces. This system allows engineers to describe machine behaviour instead of writing traditional code, streamlining the transition from design to operational hardware.

Why it matters

The move towards natural language interfaces for industrial hardware signals a significant shift in how enterprise teams manage physical automation. For those building production AI, this represents a practical application of generative agents in safety-critical environments, reducing technical debt and accelerating deployment cycles in complex manufacturing.

Key points

Automates the creation of PLC logic from natural language machine descriptions
Generates operator HMI screens and guided workflows automatically
Integrates directly into industrial control cabinets as a local AI agent
