Siemens Gamesa's Web Distribution Portal is a corporate document distribution and management platform custom-designed to replace external software. The solution unifies in a single proprietary environment the document operations of the group's wind farm construction and installation projects, covering the four phases of the operational cycle. Siemens Gamesa, a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens Energy, leads global wind turbine manufacturing with more than 130 GW of installed capacity and a global workforce of over 30,000 people.
Replacing external software in a global industrial operation.
Document management for wind farm construction and installation projects depends on the simultaneous coordination of internal and external teams, at corporate headquarters and in the field, under strict regulatory requirements. Siemens Gamesa was operating with FLUIX, an external software that limited customisation, depended on third-party licences and didn't integrate natively with its technology ecosystem. The challenge was to design a proprietary platform that would completely replace that tool, talk to the group's internal systems —Active Directory, Teamcenter, ShareAspace, SharePoint and SAP— and guarantee operational continuity in environments without an internet connection.
