Vienna – October 29, 2026 -- Vienna-based WAVE Trockensysteme GmbH has put its best-selling FD440 freeze dryer under AI control, replacing a conventional industrial controller with the Interkey Brain system. On its first run on October 23, the AI rewrote its own program mid-process without stopping the machine. To WAVE's knowledge, this is the first industrial machine on the market guided by an AI rather than a fixed-program controller.
AI rewrites its own code during a live drying cycle
During the first batch, the team asked the AI to look for improvements while drying was under way. The system analyzed live measurement data, rewrote its program and installed the new version. The drying process did not have to be interrupted.
