Applied Computing Secures $12M Seed Round to Revolutionize Industrial AI in Oil, Gas, and Petrochemicals

Applied Computing is proud to announce that we have successfully raised $12,125,376 in our latest funding round, marking a pivotal moment in our journey to revolutionize the Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical industries. With this significant investment, we are poised to enhance our flagship product, Orbital—a Multi-Foundation AI system designed to transform the way these critical industries leverage their data. Traditionally anchored to legacy systems, these sectors have been able to utilize less than 10% of their data for decision making and process optimization, leaving much of their potential untapped. Orbital is engineered to change that by providing a trustworthy, physics-grounded AI solution that empowers engineers and operators to harness 100% of their data, optimizing every metric in real time. This breakthrough technology not only enables faster decision making and safer operational environments but also drives higher overall performance, setting a new standard in Industrial AI. Our vision at Applied Computing—to deliver sustainable abundance for a growing planet through AI—is now more tangible than ever, as we work towards dismantling the longstanding barriers imposed by outdated systems. The recently secured funding will be instrumental in advancing our innovative research, scaling our platform, and expanding our support for industries that are essential to powering the world. This isn’t just a step toward the future of industrial operations; it is the tangible debut of AI that truly works in the control room, harnessing data in real time to optimize operations across the board. We are excited to embark on this transformative journey and look forward to driving industry evolution with the power of Orbital and our groundbreaking approach to AI.
