Intelligence meets experience.
The partnership
Your plant is complex.
The next decision should be clearer.
Finding a performance opportunity is one thing. Knowing what it means for your plant is another.
Applied Computing brings Orbital. KBR brings decades of process engineering knowledge. By ingesting that know-how into Orbital, we bring AI and engineering expertise together in KBR INSITE.
Connected to operating data and supported by the Innovation Studio, INSITE helps turn plant insight into operator-verified recommendations.
