unforgiving materials while maintaining microscopic precision created expertise that went far beyond engine components.The company’s product portfolio now includes spherical bearings, linkage arms, grinding knives for the food processing industry, butterfly valves, and actuator levers. Winsert’s alloy development efforts, which began formally in 1992 with the establishment of its Materials Research Department, focused on displacing expensive cobalt-based materials. The proprietary formulations deliver comparable performance at lower cost with greater price stability, particularly important given cobalt’s volatile market pricing and geopolitical supply concerns. The company’s flagship W77T6-P® alloy and W10-P® demonstrate performance advantages while offering customers relief from the cost fluctuations that plague traditional trade materials.This combination of metallurgical innovation and advanced machining capability positions Winsert to serve transportation, aerospace, energy, industrial valve, and food processing markets across 35 countries. INDUSTRY 4.0: DATA-DRIVEN DECISION MAKING Manufacturing excellence today requires more than skilled workers and quality equipment. Winsert has embraced Industry 4.0 principles, building an information infrastructure that transforms raw operational data into actionable intelligence. “We feel that in order for us to truly make good business decisions, we have to understand where we are at,” Coduti says.“And that is not just final state financials, right? That is costing analysis and understanding all the way through the process.” The foundation rests on integrating manufacturing equipment directly into the company’s enterprise resource planning system. Machine-level data flows continuously into centralized databases, enabling real-time visibility into production costs, equipment performance, and process efficiency.“This comes from integrating all of our manufacturing equipment, the data that comes from them, into our ERP system and the analysis work that happens with that,” Coduti explains. The company recently upgraded its ERP infrastructure, working through 163 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 13, ISSUE 01 WINSERT
