#SaudiArabia #industrialAI - Industrial AI company OrbitronAI and Aramco Digital have formed a partnership to develop, deploy and commercialise agentic AI for industrial value recovery. The companies are targeting multibillion-dollar value pools in capital productivity, supply chain performance and operational execution. Successful tools developed with Aramco Digital will be reused across similar processes and sold in Saudi Arabia and selected international markets. The agreement was signed in early September at LEAP 2026 in Riyadh.
SO WHAT? - Industrial buyers are wary of handing decisions to AI. However, OrbitronAI has a solution that inspires trust. Agents handle reasoning and workflow, while critical calculations, controls and approvals stay governed and open to human oversight. That's a good fir for Aramco, where an error in a capital project or supply chain can be expensive. If the approach works at Aramco, it gives OrbitronAI a powerful reference for other asset-heavy industries, both in Saudi Arabia and abroad.
KEY POINTS:
OrbitronAI and Aramco Digital have announced a strategic commercial partnership to develop, deploy and commercialise industrial-grade agentic AI. The agreement was signed in early September 2026 at LEAP 2026 in Riyadh.
The partnership combines OrbitronAI’s agentic AI technology with Aramco Digital’s industrial knowledge, operating scale and market reach. Both companies describe the aim as industrial value recovery across asset-intensive industries.
The companies will target multibillion-dollar value pools in capital productivity, supply chain performance and operational execution. These are areas where fragmented information, complex workflows and delayed decisions can hurt financial performance.
OrbitronAI’s technology works across structured and unstructured industrial information and connects with enterprise systems. It combines agentic reasoning with deterministic execution, while critical calculations, controls and approvals stay governed and subject to human oversight.
Capabilities that succeed will be designed for reuse across similar industrial processes. The route to commercialisation covers Saudi Arabia and selected international markets, with products offered to Aramco, its affiliates and the wider industrial market.
OrbitronAI’s core product is NovaOS, an agentic operating layer that connects existing enterprise systems, orchestrates AI workflows and provides governance and auditability. It works mainly with aviation, transport, energy and infrastructure organisations.
OrbitronAI has more than 50 staff across five global offices and is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 compliant. Co-founder Luvy Singh previously led supply chain at Shell and was a partner at EY.
Aramco Digital builds industrial connectivity through iCONNA, powered by the 450 MHz National Industrial Network, plus cloud and data infrastructure, cybersecurity and AI platforms. It serves energy, manufacturing, logistics and utilities across the Kingdom and beyond.
ZOOM OUT - Aramco Digital runs iCONNA, an integrated industrial AI ecosystem that moves industrial operators from basic connectivity towards connected intelligence. It has six layers: the national 450 MHz network, mission-critical communications, Industrial IoT, smart devices, industrial AI solutions and an AI-powered software marketplace. The network runs on private 450 MHz spectrum, independent of public commercial telecoms networks. iCONNA provides industrial sites secure, reliable connectivity for edge AI.
