Acquisition of Actenum to Help Build Industrial-Grade AI Operations Engine

An enterprise asset management software provider based in North Carolina has acquired Vancouver-born technology firm Actenum.

Raleigh’s Prometheus Group says that the acquisition of Actenum, a developer of artificially intelligent scheduling and optimization technology, will expand the company’s AI capabilities and strengthen its position as a platform for operational performance in asset-intensive industries.

“AI is reshaping how organizations plan, schedule, and execute,” explains Eric Huang, chief executive officer of Prometheus.

Through adding Actenum’s technology into the Prometheus AI platform, Huang says “we’re giving customers a powerful new engine for intelligent operations—One that predicts outcomes, optimizes decisions in real time, and unlocks measurable value across their entire asset lifecycle.”

Actenu’s flagship Decision Support Optimization technology utilizes AI to transform complex scheduling data into actionable insights, enabling operators to increase throughput, reduce cycle times, and maximize resource utilization across every phase of operations.

Actenum’s technology accelerates Prometheus Group’s plan to unify asset management—from planning and scheduling to turnarounds and outages to performance optimization—on a single, intelligent platform, according to a statement from the firms.

“We’ve spent years helping the world’s leading upstream oil and gas operators turn scheduling into a competitive advantage,” says Actenum chief executive officer Paul Maurer. “Joining Prometheus Group allows us to bring that value to even more customers and expand use cases across asset-intensive industries including oil and gas, utilities, chemicals, mining, and manufacturing.”

Together, “we’ll deliver the most comprehensive AI-enabled scheduling and optimization platform available today,” Maurer believes.

Actenum was founded in Vancouver in 2003.

Prometheus was established in 1998 and today boasts offices in several countries, including Australia, India, Qatar, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.
