Honeywell launches Forge Plant Cognition AI for refineries

Honeywell unveiled Forge Plant Cognition, an enterprise AI platform for refineries, petrochemical plants and LNG operators. Its first deployment is the Dangote refinery in Nigeria, the world's largest single-train plant at 650,000 barrels per day, with projected gross annual benefit above $60 million.

• Optimization target exceeds 29 cents per barrel, stated gross of implementation costs
• At 650,000 barrels per day the upper-bound estimate tops $68 million a year
• Platform relies on physics-informed neural networks via Nvidia PhysicsNemo and Omniverse digital twins
• Stack includes Nemotron and Cosmos models, Dell PowerEdge XE servers and Nvidia RTX PRO GPUs
