With o9, Vestas will improve its demand planning and review, supply chain visibility, global and regional sales and operations planning / sales and operations execution. The o9 Digital Brain platform was selected by Vestas due to its ability to leverage modern technology – including the digital twin of the supply chain, big data, AI / ML algorithms, knowledge graphs and the like – to help companies achieve new levels of productivity, speed and expertise in planning and decision-making. Additionally, o9’s experience in the wind turbine industry played a pivotal role in Vestas’ decision.
“The o9 Digital Brain platform will help us connect people, data and processes, thus enabling faster and better decision making,” said Christophe Mugnier-Pollet, Vice President, Global Supply Chain, Vestas. “The flexibility and scalability of the platform will help us improve our supply chain capabilities and enable us to bring the world sustainable energy solutions to power a bright future,” added Mugnier.
“Over the past years, there has been significant growth in demand for renewable energy across the globe,” said Igor Rikalo, President and COO, o9 Solutions. “At the same time, the pandemic has highlighted significant challenges in obtaining a reliable supply of raw materials and parts. As a result, industrial companies such as Vestas increasingly see the need for better supply chain visibility, integrated planning, and capacity allocation to help them better fulfill customer demand. We are happy to support Vestas in its digital transformation journey and to empower them in their mission to bring sustainable energy solutions to the world – a mission we fully support,” added Rikalo.
