A COMPLETELY INDOOR PRODUCTION FACILITY

Anatolia has embarked on a substantial undertaking, marked by a significant investment in infrastructure development and planning, to encompass its entire production facility within an enclosed indoor environment. This strategic decision yields multifaceted advantages, among them being the mitigation of contaminations. By safeguarding both finished products and raw materials from the influence of weather elements, Anatolia achieves an unprecedented level of operational purity.

It is noteworthy that Anatolia stands as the sole facility globally to uphold a 100% indoor production model, with no aspect of its processes, equipment or inventory exposed to external elements.

UNPARALLELED PRODUCT VISION

Anatolia’s unwavering commitment to authenticity permeates every facet of its product development, design, and research endeavors.

With access to an extensive repository of natural stone slabs for scanning and photography, anatolia crafts designs that exude unparalleled beauty andfidelity to the natural world. Anatolia adheres to the practice of exclusively scanning from genuine natural stone slabs. This commitment results in a product portfolio distinguished by its utmost authenticity.

PATENTED IMAGING TECHNOLOGY

Anatolia has developed a patented and innovative natural stone slab scanning device that is unparalleled in the world. It allows us to be nimble and portable with our scanning, to give us access to an unlimited number of slabs to scan. This gives us the most flexibility, speed, accuracy, and choice of slabs to photograph, and reduces wastage as no slabs need to be destroyed in the process. It also reduces carbon emissions, as the slabs don’t need to be transported, instead we transport our expert photographers and equipment to the slab locations.

RAW MATERIALS

Our selection of premium raw materials reflects a dedication to both quality and logistical precision, ensuring an uninterrupted supply chain that keeps our production machinery in perpetual motion. The pursuit of sustainable quality, a paramount objective, led us on a global quest, researching and evaluating countless material suppliers. In this manner, we forged a foundation built upon the finest materials, committed to excellence and environmental responsibility.

AUTOMATED RAW MATERIAL MANAGEMENT

Building on our commitment to premium materials, Anatolia’s raw material management system represents a seamless integration of advanced automation, efficiency, and precision. From the moment materials arrive, an industry-first automated kiosk system governs intake, quality control, and logistics through ERP-integrated barcode scanning. Materials are then conveyed along a 2km belt to a fully enclosed, automated storage facility that homogenizes large volumes—ensuring uniformity in color and quality from the start. This is followed by energy-efficient grinding in ball mills and rapid drying via spray dryers, forming a fine, consistent powder. Finally, 35 high-capacity silos store and regulate the flow of body powder to the production lines, enabling continuous operation with minimal waste and optimal consistency.

TECHNOLOGY

The technology employed across Anatolia’s facilities, encompassing the factory, warehouse, and all operational domains, has been meticulously curated to function as a cutting-edge digital and autonomous system.

Anatolia proudly harnesses the advanced capabilities that epitomize efficiency and productivity in precision slab and tile manufacturing. This technology seamlessly accommodates both modern and traditional material compositions. Remarkably, our slabs are crafted without the need for conventional presses or molds, allowing exceptional versatility in size and thickness. With waste consistently at less than 3% and a commendable 100% recyclability of scraps, the process harmoniously integrates powder forming and digital printing phases.

SYSTEMS UNITING HARMONIOUSLY

Our cutting-edge IT systems stand as a testament to our unwavering commitment to production excellence, operational efficiency, and innovation. At the heart of our operations, our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) orchestrates and monitors the entire production process with precision and sophistication. Our gate automation, coupled with state-of-the-art weighing systems, automates the receipt of bulk raw materials, enabling seamless goods receipt and cross verification with goods issued. MES integration extends to bulk raw material storage, ensuring seamless coordination.

COUNTLESS IT INTEGRATIONS

The integration of our MES with the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System streamlines production order management, while sensors provide real-time measurements of production and consumption, enhancing data-driven decision making. MES further facilitates production confirmations, consumption tracking, and quantity management, ensuring accuracy and accountability. MES seamlessly integrates with Laser Guided Vehicles (LGV), optimizing material flow. The Warehouse Management System (WMS) integration enhances efficiency in handling finished products, while the implementation of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) labels minimizes manual scanning, expediting the receipt process across our warehouses. Our IT systems are the backbone of our operations, propelling us toward heightened productivity, quality, and operational excellence.

SUPERIOR PACKAGING

Engineered for excellence, Anatolia’s patent pending bundle-frame, a-frame, and platform systems represent the industry benchmark in packaging innovation, redefining performance and eco-conscious design.

Backed by extensive research, these solutions are designed with precision to maximize safety, efficiency, and sustainability throughout the logistics chain. Designed for long-term reuse, these solutions significantly reduce material waste and environmental impact.

SAFETY
Firstly, our packaging solution enhances workplace safety by minimizing potential hazards to employees, thus fostering a secure and productive working environment. Secondly, they prioritize safety throughout the shipping and handling process, reducing the risk of damage to the large format slabs, minimizing challenges and wasted resources.

EFFICIENT OPERATIONS
The packaging bundle solution was designed with efficiency in mind, optimizing space within shipping containers and ensuring the economical use of resources throughout the logistics process, 4 bundles can fit in one 20ft container.

Distinguished by its unique design, our packaging solution facilitates vertical stacking, a capability unmatched by other offerings on the market. This innovative feature optimizes storage, enabling a greater volume of products to be accommodated within a reduced spatial footprint. It offers operational efficiency through the seamless conversion of products from vertical to horizontal, or vice versa, facilitated effortlessly by hydraulic converters. Additionally, its adaptability can be effortlessly maneuvered using ether a forklift or a crane, elevating the efficiency of handling and distribution processes.

SUSTAINABILITY: THE FOUNDATION OF OUR OPERATIONS

At the heart of Aeterna is a commitment to conscious creation. From the thoughtful architecture of our facilities to the seamless, integrated systems for sourcing and processing natural raw materials, every aspect of our manufacturing process is designed with purpose.
