Problem
Traditional operational intelligence platforms in the oil and gas sector often fail to leverage the full spectrum of available real-time data, leading to a high volume of false alarms and extended model development cycles. This underutilization of data hinders efficient decision-making and limits operational optimization.
Solution
Applied Computing's Orbital platform delivers AI-driven operational intelligence designed for the oil and gas industry, specifically targeting refineries and petrochemical operations. It processes 100% of real-time data to significantly reduce false alarms to below 1%, providing actionable insights and operational models within minutes. This approach enables substantial improvements in efficiency and supports optimized decision-making for complex industrial processes. Orbital integrates seamlessly into existing ISA-95 frameworks, connecting directly to DCS historians and other data sources via industry-standard protocols. The platform offers flexible deployment options, including edge-based or hybrid configurations, to match diverse infrastructure needs.
Target Audience
The primary customers are organizations within the refining, petrochemical, and LNG sectors of the oil and gas industry seeking to enhance operational efficiency and decision-making through advanced AI.
