Kettek

Kettek is a technology company and platform that develops hardware and software for edge computing, data analytics, and artificial intelligence applications. The company markets a family of modular edge devices together with cloud-based analytics and developer tools designed to enable real-time processing at the data source. Kettek emphasizes privacy-preserving analytics and interoperability through open interfaces.

The flagship products include Kettek Edge, a modular edge computer designed for industrial and urban environments; Kettek Cloud, a managed analytics platform for data ingestion, processing, and visualization; and Kettek Studio, a development toolkit for building and deploying AI-powered workflows. The architecture centers on modular hardware modules and a software stack that supports containerized workloads, streaming analytics, and federated learning, with strong emphasis on data governance and security.

Kettek was founded in 2008 by engineers from the European research community and established headquarters in Berlin, with offices elsewhere in Europe and Asia. The company operates through partnerships with hardware manufacturers, system integrators, and software vendors to support large-scale deployments in manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and smart-city projects.

Market reception has generally recognized Kettek for its focus on privacy controls, interoperability, and scalable architecture, while critics have noted potential vendor lock-in in certain configurations. In the 2010s and 2020s, Kettek expanded its product lines and participated in cross-border data governance initiatives.
