In a precision turning shop, raw material is not a passive element: it is the first link in the value chain. Brass, steel, aluminum, bronze and stainless steel, in diameters from 0.5 to 50 mm, arrive in the form of bars that feed the turning centers in continuous operation. Their availability, their traceability, the time it takes to move from stock to machine define the actual rhythm of production.
For this reason, at Eredi Baitelli digitalization and factory logistics are not two parallel projects but a single integrated effort. The new automated vertical bar storage is the concrete case where this convergence takes shape: physical space is compacted and rationalized, while every bar enters the management system with its own digital identifier. Data on incoming raw material becomes available in real time, without manual inventory steps, and traceability follows the batch along the entire production path.
The effect spreads along the entire internal pipeline. Upstream, stock management aligns with production needs with a precision that traditional material handling did not allow. Downstream, batch traceability makes the path of each component legible after the fact, from the originating bar to the finished turned part. It is a change that belongs less to the perimeter of logistics and more to that of process control: the storage system stops being a depot and becomes an information node.
