Your plant, Understood.

Meet the new

One world model.
One shared understanding.

Data Connect brings plant data and engineering knowledge into one reusable foundation. Plant Intelligence helps engineers detect, predict, optimise and simulate. Plant Design builds on that understanding to develop engineering models, modifications and capital projects.

A shared world model connects how the plant operates with how it evolves.

Bring your plant closer to its physical optimum.

Orbital brings operating evidence, process physics and engineering knowledge together in a model that reflects your plant. It gives engineers a common basis to investigate questions, test ideas and optimise operations.

Limited early access

Explore the possibilities. Engineer the change.

Engineers can develop designs, evaluate modifications and plan capital projects with a clearer understanding of how each decision affects the plant. As the plant changes, teams can keep engineering information up to date, with revisions reviewed and recorded.

One foundation. Ready for what comes next.

Most plant data never informs a decision. Orbital Data Connect brings historian, lab, document and maintenance data into one governed place, so AI can be trusted with it from day one.

Customer story

Indorama Ventures

Indorama Ventures: verified by the engineers who run the plant.

At the F5 PO/MTBE unit in Port Neches, Texas, the engineers tested what Orbital understood about their plant, section by section. They found reasons to expand it.

Partnership

Indorama Ventures

Engineering expertise, built into industrial AI.

KBR combines its process, design and operating expertise with Orbital in INSITE. Together, we bring physics-informed intelligence into a platform built for complex industrial operations.

From our customers and partners

Trust, earned.
