Honeywell Technologies launches new AI platform at Dangote's Nigeria refinery

Honeywell Technologies said on Monday it was launching ​a new industrial AI platform, "Forge ‌Plant Cognition", at Nigeria's Dangote refinery to boost the plant's productivity.

The platform, ​being launched at Dangote's Lekki ​refinery in Lagos, will use NVIDIA and Dell Technologies' capabilities in ​a bid to drive up productivity ​and profitability in complex industrial settings, a statement said.

Honeywell is already helping the ​refinery more than double its nameplate ​capacity from 650,000 million barrels per day (bpd) ‌to ⁠1.4 million bpd by 2028.

Based on preliminary data and not guaranteed, Honeywell said its AI platform ​could deliver ​operational ⁠benefits of more than 29 cents a barrel at ​Lekki, or around $60 million ​a ⁠year in gross benefits at full-capacity throughput.

Honeywell has also been selected to help ⁠Dangote ​build a new mega-refinery ​in Kenya's Lamu County.
