Engineering (general)
Talking about smelters (ferrous and non-ferrous metals).
The phrases are:
Al XXX il materiale viene lavorato a campagne; 3 pezzature in maniera alternata: 5-30 mm, 30-80 mm e >80 mm.
And then:
La tecnologia permette di ottenere una migliore qualità dell’alluminio, aumentandone la purezza e di conseguenza il valore di vendita; al momento l’unità è distaccata dal resto dell’impianto e la lavorazione avviene a campagne
This is all for a Case study. No definition of 'campaign' seems to work. 'Campagna pubblicitaria' wouldn't make any sense. And it doesn't have anything to do with the countryside. The only thing I can think of is that it is at intervals, or perhaps on an as-needed basis. But I've never come across this term before.

Campagna means a serie of activities aimed at achieving a specific purpose within a given time but although this is similar to the definition of the same word campaign in English, I wouldn't use it here.
Lot could be an alternative, although it doesn't really include the planned time period aspect. You could say programed /alternate lots.
