About Vestas and Their Challenge
The global leader in sustainable energy solutions, Vestas manages a fleet of over 56,000 wind turbines. With +169 GW of wind turbines installed in 88 countries, Vestas’ sustainable energy solutions have already prevented 1.9 billion tonnes³ of CO₂ being emitted into the atmosphere and contributed to a more sustainable energy system. In addition, Vestas works with the development of power plants for onshore and offshore wind, storage systems, Power-to-X, and tailoring products to meet customer and market demands.
Vestas faced growing product complexity and a scalability challenge around the setup of their systems and data. With their core products having a high complexity with many hundreds of options, Vestas’ key product data was managed in multiple systems. They were relying on a few expert people, manual processes and workarounds which came with a high risk. The result was a slower time to market along with a high risk of errors and configuration inaccuracies.
Vestas has been going through a large-scale modularization project, during which time they have achieved full transparency of their product portfolio. Today, Vestas has a collaborative configuration platform, allowing them to combine their commercial, engineering and technical rules together to streamline and enhance their configuration process.
