Seeq global leader in industrial AI and Applied Computing creator of Orbital first foundation model built for energy operations today announced commercial agreement that pairs Orbital physics-grounded detection and diagnosis with Seeq industrial intelligence platform. Partnership expected to drive measurable improvements in efficiency and reliability along with emissions reductions across energy operations announced Oct 13 2026 Seattle and London.
Under agreement Orbital identifies equipment and process issues across some of most complex industrial systems while Seeq provides decision intelligence through analytics capabilities that teams use to investigate those findings and visualize operational data. Together solutions will help customers use anomaly detection and root cause analysis understand operational context and deliver insights that guide high-impact decisions and actions across both daily execution and strategic long-term outcomes.
Initial application will support INSITE digital platform from global science technology and engineering solutions company KBR that provides technical and advisory services for operating plants powered by Applied Computing Orbital foundation model and serving ammonia petrochemical LNG and oil and gas industries. Analysts at KBR Innovation Studio Bengaluru will use Seeq to investigate anomalies identified by Orbital and create customer-facing reports and recommendations.
By bringing together physics-based AI and advanced industrial analytics Applied Computing and Seeq can help operations teams turn complex data into faster more robust decisions. Both companies committed to building and supporting industrial AI ecosystem for customers bringing best innovations together to help industries serve adopt AI more productively and scale more quickly.
Orbital was built to detect and diagnose issues in world most complex energy environments and Seeq gives operations teams powerful way to investigate contextualize and act on what it finds. Partnership closes loop between physics-grounded AI insight and daily decisions that determine plant performance and reflects shared commitment to open industrial AI ecosystem.
Companies also plan to explore bidirectional integration between Orbital and Seeq enabling shared context and more streamlined AI-driven investigations.
About Applied Computing
Applied Computing builds energy's foundation model. Orbital is the first foundation model built specifically for energy operations, combining physics-grounded intelligence with models across chemical engineering, time-series forecasting and language. Orbital provides real-time optimization that operators can trust in the most complex environments – from refineries and petrochemical facilities to LNG, wind and hydro. Founded in London by Callum Adamson (CEO) and Dr Sam Tukra (Chief AI Officer), Applied Computing is already working with some of the world's most complex industrial sites.
