    Wind energy manufacturing: massive parts meet mass production Automation breakthroughs offer double the throughput with reduced labor and  improved quality

    Technologies for lean mass production of key wind turbine components – both metal and composite – are one of the limiters on the rate of growth in kW produced by wind. The size and weight of the parts present significant manufacturing challenges, while the production and material technologies are rapidly evolving to meet the need for more kW from every turbine, and bring more turbines on line quicker.  Simply put, the industry needs a means to build a massive number of massive machines – quickly.  It's a challenge being met with breakthrough automation technologies that will be introduced at WINDPOWER 2009.  These new systems can reduce labor content by two-thirds, double throughput, and produce a consistently high-quality product from the start of a shift to the end.
