Italian term or phrase: staffetta / staffettato
A text for a manufacturer of ceramic tiles.

>> Before tile production, working with the glazes:
I controlli principali eseguiti in questo reparto sono le **staffette** eseguite sugli smalti e sui coloranti, prima di avviare questi alla produzione, e la misura del residuo degli smalti.

>> After the tiles are dried:
I controlli effettuati in tale fase sono di misura della temperatura dei pezzi in uscita dall’essiccatoio e di misura del calibro lati (sui pezzi cotti e **staffettati**) e calibro spessore sui pezzi in uscita dalla pressa.

I've found various sources on the web that mention the word, but none that explain what it means.

Explanation:
Hi! Makes me think about a relay which in Italian is staffetta. So just like a relay when one finishes the other begins. Tiles are cut to be the same so they are repetitive with continuity. This is how i understand it...
Hope it helps a bit 🙂

Notes to answerer
Asker: I don't think so. The context is clearly some kind of production sample. So I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with laying or installation. Furthermore, the process of cutting the sides of tiles to making them standardized for laying is rectification, which is a standard term in ceramics. And the context isn't talking about that either. Thanks for making the suggestion.
