Re-Industrialization
Industrial boards deserve reviewable software.
Strong hardware is not enough for regulated fleets. Airfy adds firmware, cloud operations, and AI diagnostics that operators can review before deployment.
The problem: hardware and software are two separate worlds.
Hardware manufacturing is moving closer to regulated buyers. The software layer still has to become easier to review, operate, and document.
Industrial boards need a reviewable software layer.
Industrial board manufacturers build strong hardware. Buyers still need firmware, fleet management, and AI operations they can audit before regulated deployment.
Two separate industries, one gap.
Board manufacturers build hardware. Software companies build cloud platforms. Nobody connects the two. If you buy an industrial board today, you get a bare SBC with no WiFi management, no device fleet tools, no AI. You build everything yourself.
Regulated buyers demand documentation.
Procurement teams increasingly ask for sourcing records, firmware control, update policy, and audit trails. You cannot answer those questions with an unmanaged software fork.
The solution
Airfy: the missing software layer for industrial hardware.
Board manufacturers and their customers can pair supported hardware with a complete firmware and cloud stack.
Multi-vendor firmware
Airfy OS: Linux-based firmware with service management and full root access. Runs on supported ARM and x86 boards.
Cloud platform included
Device management, monitoring, AI diagnostics, and fleet operations. No extra vendor needed.
Board-agnostic
Same firmware image for any US-made board, GL.iNet, or any supported hardware. Port a new board in 3-5 business days.
Reviewable independently
Firmware and hardware are separate products. Review the software layer without depending on the board vendor's release process.
Home to industrial
One platform covers home mesh nodes, business APs, and industrial boards. No need for separate software stacks per segment. Request a quote.
AI at the edge
MCP tools on every device. Edge inference on hardware with a Neural Processing Unit. Network intelligence without cloud dependency.

The reshoring wave is here.
$1.2 trillion in reshoring commitments. 100+ manufacturing projects. The hardware is coming home. The software needs to follow.
CHIPS and Science Act signed. $52.7B for domestic semiconductor manufacturing.
$39B in CHIPS grants allocated. 100+ fab projects across 28 states.
$1.2T in reshoring commitments announced. US manufacturing output at 15-year high.
FCC bans foreign consumer routers. Demand for domestic firmware surges.
For board manufacturers
Ship boards with software. Not just silicon.
Your customers buy a board and then spend months building their own firmware stack. With Airfy OS pre-installed, they get a complete networking platform out of the box. WiFi management, device monitoring, fleet operations, AI diagnostics.
You sell more boards. Your customers ship faster. The software layer is easier to review.
American hardware. American software. Finally together.
