This case study describes the partnership of Ottoman, a cutting-edge turning shop that has been operating in the sector for over seventy years, with cleaning plant manufacturer IFP Europe, which has led to the evolution of its cleaning department towards advanced automation and interconnection while keeping people at the heart of production processes.

In the manufacturing sector linked to metallurgy and the production of industrial components, one alloy is widely used for its strength, ductility, workability, corrosion resistance, conductivity, and aesthetic qualities: brass. This metal has been part of humanity's technological evolution since ancient times, leaving tangible traces throughout our industrial history. Today, although not a 'noble' metal in a strict sense, it is considered a 'precious material' precisely because of its unique properties, and it is increasingly sought after by manufacturers.
