Abstract

ARTS is a combination of an Anode and Anode Rod identification and Tracking System, including a customized database and analytical software.

ARTS effectively tracks both, anodes and rods, helping to control the quality of anodes and improve the overall smelter performance and rodshop operations and efficiency.

The system has recently been installed and is now successfully in operation at ALUMINIJ d.d. in Mostar, Bosnia & Herzegowina (hereinafter shown as AM).

The system provides permanent identification of rods and identification of anode blocks, thus enabling the control of anode performance in the smelter and rodding shop operations. Through the analysis of anode data recorded by the system and action taken based on this, improved anode quality and efficiency of operations can be achieved.

In this paper, the functionality and the key elements of ARTS are described, and an overview of the installation of the system at AM is provided, along with operational results.
