Applied Computing Secures $9M Seed Round to Revolutionize Industrial AI with Orbital

Applied Computing is excited to announce that we have raised $9,000,000 in our latest funding round—a major milestone in our journey to revolutionize the Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Industries. Our vision is clear: to deliver sustainable abundance for a growing planet by harnessing the power of AI for industries that are both vital and traditionally mired in legacy systems. Despite powering the modern world, these industries currently use less than 10% of their available data for decision making, leaving a vast reservoir of untapped potential. With our flagship product, Orbital, we are changing that narrative. Orbital is a cutting-edge Multi-Foundation AI system built on physics-grounded principles, designed to integrate seamlessly into control rooms, optimize processes in real time, and ultimately enable engineers and operators to harness 100% of their data. This funding will expedite the enhancement of Orbital by expanding our research and development capabilities, increasing our deployment efforts, and establishing strategic partnerships to ensure more industries can transition from legacy methods to a future of full data utilization. The capital will also support the growth of our talented team, enabling us to push the boundaries of industrial AI and deliver higher performance and safer operations on a larger scale. At Applied Computing, this achievement is not just about financial growth, but about setting a new standard where industrial AI isn’t just a future possibility—it’s the operating reality. We are poised to transform how critical energy sectors optimize their processes, making faster, smarter decisions that drive both operational excellence and sustainable progress.
