Yathiraj Kasal is the General Manager & Business Head of Wipro 3D, where he leads the company’s business strategy and technical direction in additive manufacturing. With nearly three decades of experience across leading organizations including GE, Honeywell, Infosys, and TurboTech, he has built extensive expertise in engineering leadership, innovation, operational excellence, and technology-driven business transformation. Over the past 12 years, Yathiraj has played a key role in advancing the adoption of industrial 3D printing and additive manufacturing across India and the Asia-Pacific region. His expertise spans the entire additive manufacturing value chain, from design, simulation, and testing to certification, prototyping, and production-scale deployment. An accomplished innovator, he also holds six patents and multiple trade secrets in advanced engineering and manufacturing technologies.
In his session, Yathiraj will explore how on-demand additive manufacturing is transforming spare parts management, equipment maintenance, and operational reliability in the oil & gas industry. He will discuss how organizations can leverage digital inventories and additive manufacturing technologies to significantly reduce supply chain delays, improve equipment uptime, and accelerate recovery from critical asset failures. The session will highlight the growing shift from physical spare parts inventories to qualified digital spare part libraries, enabling operators to manufacture certified components on demand and reduce lead times from months to days. Attendees will gain practical insights into how additive manufacturing can strengthen supply chain resilience, lower inventory costs, and support safer, more reliable operations.
Key Topics:
- Reducing downtime through on-demand additive manufacturing
- Digital spare parts and the future of inventory management
- Accelerating repair and maintenance with certified 3D-printed components
- Improving supply chain resilience and operational uptime
- Leveraging additive manufacturing for cost reduction and asset reliability
