(WO) – Industrial analytics company Seeq and Applied Computing, developer of the Orbital foundation model for energy operations, have signed a commercial agreement. The deal combines Orbital’s AI-driven detection and diagnosis with Seeq’s industrial analytics platform.
Orbital uses physics-grounded AI to flag equipment and process issues in complex industrial systems. Operations teams then use Seeq’s analytics tools to investigate those findings, add operational context and visualize plant data. The companies say the combination will support anomaly detection and root cause analysis, helping operators improve efficiency, emissions performance and reliability.
The first application will support INSITE, KBR’s digital platform for operating plants. INSITE is powered by Orbital and provides technical and advisory services to the ammonia, petrochemical, LNG and oil and gas industries. Analysts at KBR’s Innovation Studio in Bengaluru will use Seeq to investigate anomalies Orbital identifies and to prepare reports and recommendations for customers.
“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,” said Dr. Lisa Graham, CEO of Seeq.
Dan Jeavons, President of Applied Computing, said the partnership “closes the loop between physics-grounded AI insight and the daily decisions that determine plant performance.”
The companies also plan to explore a two-way integration between Orbital and Seeq to share context and streamline AI-driven investigations.
