Dürr Consulting launches series of wind power conferences

On November 2, 2009 Dürr Consulting was the organizer and host of the first Windpower Manufacturing Workshop held at the Bietigheim Campus. Three of the top six manufacturers of wind power generation plants took part in the workshop designed to foster an exchange of ideas and experiences and to encourage networking. Participants also came, for example, from the fields of gearbox manufacture and component development or were new entrants to the growth market of wind power. Insight was provided not only on the subjects  of the manufacture, assembly and logistics of wind power generators but also on those of paint finishing, environmental aspects and the cleaning of large parts.

During the day emphasis was also placed on optimization of processes, integrated factory planning and solid project management as factors for success in the efficient production of wind power generation plants, which to date still demonstrates a low level of automation. Dürr Consulting referred to real examples drawn from practical experience  to  round off the theoretical technical papers presented. As a result of positive feedback from those attending the event and in view of the anticipated changes in the windpower industry, Dürr Consulting plans to continue this series of conferences in 2010.
