Honeywell Deploys Nvidia and Dell AI to Optimize Industrial Refineries

The platform debuts at Dangote’s petroleum refinery in Lekki, where it will function as an autonomous agent capable of interpreting operational streams and flagging mechanical anomalies. By embedding these AI models directly into existing plant architecture, Honeywell seeks to move beyond basic monitoring into active performance optimization.

Rajesh Gattupalli, president of Honeywell Technologies UOP, described industrial facilities as some of the most complex environments globally, ripe for digital transformation. The deployment at the Lekki site serves as a high-stakes test case for the technology, with the company betting that granular AI-driven oversight will unlock significant gains in reliability and throughput at scale.
