Fives and Norda Stelo announce strategic partnership to strengthen Robotic Solutions for the Aluminium Industry
Bringing advanced robotics to Anode Rodding Shops
Through this partnership, Fives ECL will integrate cutting‑edge robotic solutions into its Anode Rodding Shops (ARS). These systems can be seamlessly connected upstream and downstream with SOFIA (Smart On‑the‑Fly Inspection and Analysis), the Fives’ solution designed to characterize anode butt process parameters and improve operational quality.
Norda Stelo’s robotics division brings more than 30 years of experience in designing and integrating advanced robotic systems for aluminium smelters.
Their strong track record across Canada demonstrates their ability to deliver robust, precise, and reliable automation solutions tailored to the demanding conditions of anode rodding shops.
Their know‑how perfectly complements Fives’ expertise in equipment and process technologies for the aluminium industry.
