Rockwell Automation, NEO Battery Materials enter collaboration

NEO Battery Materials is collaborating with Rockwell Automation (ROK). Through this collaboration, NEO aims to integrate advanced automation solutions that will improve production efficiency, quality control, and scalability at NEO’s planned silicon anode manufacturing facility in Windsor, Ontario. With NEO Battery’s development of its silicon anode technology, Rockwell Automation intends to aid the Company achieving operational readiness for large-scale, commercial production. By implementing Rockwell’s advanced automation and digitalization solutions, NEO will streamline its manufacturing capabilities, optimize resource use, and support a more robust, cost-effective production process. Digital tools will also enable real-time monitoring and data-driven insights, supporting enhanced decision-making and reducing leadtime to workflows. As NEO Battery Materials commercializes its facilities in Windsor, the Company envisions to expand operations in the United States to pursue silicon anode manufacturing activities and value-added projects. Rockwell Automation will be engaged to help launch further facilities, such as in Ohio, in the future.
