The High-Stakes World of Turbine Manufacturing
Turbines—whether for energy, aviation, or industrial applications—are some of the most complex and expensive machinery in the world. They power power plants, aircraft, and heavy industrial processes. A single turbine failure can cost millions in downtime and put safety and compliance at risk.
For turbine manufacturers, after-sales service is as critical as the product itself. Customers demand guaranteed uptime, proactive servicing, and transparent communication. Managing warranty contracts, spare parts, and skilled technicians at scale is a huge challenge.
That’s where Salesforce Service Cloud + Field Service Lightning (FSL) enable turbine OEMs to run efficient, predictive, and customer-first service ecosystems.
Industry Challenges for Turbine Manufacturers
- Complex Service Contracts: Multi-year warranties and service agreements with strict penalties for downtime.
- Safety & Compliance Requirements: Turbines operate under high regulatory scrutiny.
- Global Dealer Ecosystems: Multiple geographies, languages, and dealer tiers.
- Expensive Downtime: A single gas turbine failure can cost a utility company $250k–$1M per day in lost production.
- Field Technician Expertise: Turbines require highly specialized technicians, not generalists.

Industry Example
A European wind turbine OEM integrated IoT with Salesforce. When blade vibration exceeded thresholds, a case was auto-created in Service Cloud, triggering an FSL work order. A technician was dispatched proactively, preventing catastrophic failure and saving the customer millions.
