Wind Turbine Manufacturer WinWinD Continues to Grow with IFS Applications
WinWinD Oy, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland, has signed an agreement with IFS for the delivery of a complete ERP solution for its entire operations. WinWinD has developed a low-speed 1 MW and 3 MW turbines and is extending its production facilities in Finland and India.
An advanced planetary gear solution and low-speed synchronous generator form the heart of the concept, which combines the reliability of a modern direct drive and the compactness of the traditional high speed gear system. Low rotational speed and proper dimensioning ensure reliability and high availability.
Rapidly growing WinWinD will use IFS Applications components for financials, distribution, manufacturing, project management, document management and service management. The company is looking to manage its rapid growth with a global solution that can handle all its business-critical processes and increase visibility throughout the product lifecycle.
Global ERP Project Owner Markku Korhonen at WinWinD said, “IFS has a strong presence in Finland and India and with strong global references. The component architecture of IFS Applications is modern and scalable, and it supports our operations—from design and installation to the all-important service at the customer site.
Furthermore, IFS Applications was the most user-friendly solution for all levels of users.
In India a major manufacturing plant for the 1MW turbines will start production in the near future and in Finland a new 3MW turbine factory will be built during 2009.
