When working a traditional IT solution, it is common praxis to prioritize company tasks to be able to do maintenance and repairs. At MHI Vestas they have a different and somewhat untraditional approach to company tasks. All processes are equally important, and the new solution gives them full uptime to avoid any disturbances in organization.
”The system supports us not having to prioritize what is important and what is not. The reality of it is that everything is important. Vestas is constantly growing, and top priorities change every day. So, we prioritize all operation to be up and running all the time. Sales and production orders are managed in our order management system and will naturally be the main priority to some. But for the guy standing at the harbor ready to ship a freighter loaded with turbines, the covering letter that he can’t print is the most important thing right now. And so, our priorities change every day,” says Head of Infrastructure Services at MHI Vestas.
At MHI Vestas they are still able to take peaks into consideration should the system be overloaded. They don’t to shut down single functions but can run on a lower capacity if needed. For instance, it can be necessary to shut down a turbine if something is wrong with it.
A wind turbine is considered critical infrastructure because it produces power to a large area. Therefor getting it operating again as soon as possible has top priority.
