Honeywell launches Forge Plant Cognition, first at Dangote refinery

Honeywell announced the launch of Forge Plant Cognition, an industrial AI platform for refining, petrochemical and LNG operators built with NVIDIA AI and Dell AI infrastructure, launching first at Dangote's Lekki refinery in Nigeria. Honeywell estimates, on preliminary data and without guarantee, more than $60 million a year in gross benefit at that refinery at full-capacity throughput.

Honeywell Technologies announced the launch of Forge Plant Cognition, an industrial AI platform for refining, petrochemical and liquefied natural gas operators. It is launching first at Dangote's petroleum refinery in Lekki, Nigeria, and was built with NVIDIA AI and Dell Technologies' AI infrastructure.

What it does

The platform is powered by Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA. According to Honeywell, NVIDIA Nemotron open models power agents that interpret operational data, NVIDIA Omniverse libraries help build a digital twin of the plant for simulation-based training and planning, and NVIDIA Cosmos models with the Metropolis VSS Blueprint enable vision AI agents for real-time alerts and anomaly detection.

It is built on the Forge Cognition platform that Honeywell introduced on Oct. 14 (https://www.honeywell.com/us/en/news/press-releases/2026/10/honeywell-technologies-launches-forge-cognition-with-nvidia-and-dell-technologies-advancing-physical-ai-across-buildings-and-industrial-operations), which Honeywell describes as an agentic AI and simulation platform for facility operations.

Honeywell's release says Dangote will integrate its operating data with Honeywell's process expertise. It gives no go-live date and no availability or pricing details. Honeywell is also helping the refinery increase its capacity from 650,000 to 1.4 million barrels per day within three years. Dangote CEO David Bird said the company chose Forge Plant Cognition.

Honeywell's estimate

Honeywell estimates, on preliminary data and without guarantee, that the platform could deliver more than 29 cents a barrel in operational benefit at the Lekki refinery. At full-capacity throughput, it says, that would be more than $60 million a year in gross benefit. The figure is gross of implementation costs and specific to that facility, and it has not been independently verified.
