From Blade to Site: How a Wind Energy Giant Synchronized Global Operations and Slashed Logistics Costs

When planning for mold capacity, blade manufacturing, and site installation are disconnected, the results are spiraling costs and missed opportunities. Discover how this global leader moved beyond siloed Excel sheets to build a Digital Twin of their entire network—enabling real-time visibility, automated what-if scenarios, and a faster response to market shifts that drove increased market share.

The company 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.
