Our story
Safety should prevent harm, not explain it after the fact.
Kery ZK was founded on a simple premise: protecting human lives should never require surrendering your privacy to constant surveillance, and life-saving technology should never be priced as a luxury. We build physical safety reflexes that act instantly, locally, and affordably.
Why we exist
The road we did not want to take.
As the industry raced toward autonomy, it settled on a compromise. It told the public that safety needed constant surveillance, huge amounts of data, and computing stacks only a few could afford.
We think safety should be simple, local, and quiet. A reflex in the hardware that acts the moment something goes wrong, and nothing more. That is what we are building.
Three promises
Three promises, kept in hardware.
Protection should not depend on a connection.
When something strays outside safe limits, lives depend on an instant answer. So the reflex lives on its own hardware, apart from the software that thinks, and it works when the network does not.
Nobody should trade privacy for safety.
Our sensors read range, speed, and shape. Everything is processed on the device. No faces, no profiles, and no video streamed to a server somewhere else.
Safety has to be affordable to matter.
A safety device priced out of reach protects no one. Simple, hardware-first design keeps the cost down, so the same protection can reach a school crossing and a freight yard alike.
Operational technology, not IoT
Operational technology, not surveillance IoT.
IoT simply reports data after the event has occurred. We build true operational technology, or OT: hardware-isolated safety logic that governs physical risk in real time.
When timing is measured in milliseconds, software hesitation is a liability. We build a deterministic reflex that acts on physics.

One architecture. A focused product and a broader roadmap.
NOD G-1 is the current product focus. Prometheus, Aigis, Heimdall, Hygieia, and Hephaestus are development concepts. Every other name below is a roadmap application, not a deployed product. Point at a row to read it.

The founder, Ricky Kwok
Built in the field. Engineered for the edge.
Founded by Ricky Kwok, drawing on an operational background as a Cavalry Scout and Combat Medic alongside managing multi-million-dollar technical programs, Kery ZK bridges the gap between human survival margins and machine execution.
While software pauses to guess, our hardware relies on reality to enforce safety.
