Powering Global Growth: How a Renewable Energy Leader Synchronized a Multi-Tier Supply Chain

As the demand for sustainable energy skyrockets, manufacturers face a new era of complexity—from intricate product configurations to disconnected planning across manufacturing, transportation, and installation. Discover how a global renewable energy giant moved beyond siloed spreadsheets and "tribal knowledge" to embrace o9’s AI-powered "Digital Brain." By creating a digital twin of their entire network, they achieved a step-change in forecast accuracy, slashed expedited logistics costs, and gained the real-time agility needed to lead the energy transition.

This customer was facing fundamental supply chain shifts with increasing numbers of complex configurations in the product portfolio and a rapidly growing customer base. In addition to that, the planning process for mold capacity planning, blade manufacturing, blade transportation, and blade installation at customer sites was disconnected, leading to cost and inventory issues.
