Databricks Built-On Partner
Applied Computing brings Orbital, the foundation model for energy, to your governed data on the Databricks Lakehouse. Best-in-class industrial AI, without giving up control of your data or intellectual property.
An open foundation
for industrial AI
Databricks powers innovation through its open Lakehouse platform. By unifying data engineering, analytics, and machine learning, it lets organisations harness their information at scale and build reliable, production-grade AI.
Applied Computing builds Orbital, the foundation model for the energy industry. Orbital is data-aware and physics-grounded. It learns from your plant's real operating data, and turns it into trusted, explainable operational decisions.
Energy operators adopt best-in-class industrial AI on the data they already control, without surrendering their data or intellectual property.
Best-in-class AI, on your terms
Your terms, your data
Orbital runs alongside your existing Databricks data engineering and machine learning infrastructure, on governed data you control. No rip-and-replace, and no loss of control over your data or IP.
A governed, production-grade foundation
Unity Catalog governance, Delta Lake reliability, and full lineage keep the data feeding Orbital current, complete, and auditable, so its recommendations stay grounded and trusted.
From data to value, faster
Orbital Data Connect gives you an AI-ready data foundation that Orbital can draw on from day one. Your operational data arrives current, complete, and governed, ready to turn into decisions.
Orbital Data Connect
bridges your systems to the Lakehouse
Orbital Data Connect brings three kinds of operational data together into one governed environment on the Databricks Lakehouse: time-series telemetry, structured records, and engineering documents. Hover any block to see what it does, or step through the path below to follow the data from the plant to the people who use it.
Deployed on the Lakehouse,
with partners and customers
Joint platform
KBR INSITE®
powered by Orbital
KBR and Applied Computing launched KBR INSITE, bringing physics-grounded AI to optimise assets from design through operations. The platform runs on a Databricks Lakehouse foundation that provides structured ingestion, governance, and full data lineage.
Customer deployment
Upstream intelligence
on Databricks
Orbital Data Connect is the data integration layer in an upstream deployment, accessing datasets through Databricks alongside Lakeflow Connect and Lakehouse Federation. Customer naming and figures are pending approval before this goes public.
An open ecosystem,
by design
"The energy transition requires moving from vision to value at an unprecedented speed. This partnership shows how open ecosystems enable energy companies to adopt best-in-class AI without sacrificing control of their data or intellectual property."
