Industrial electrical systems manufacturer scaling renewable energy infrastructure
Alfanar manufactures electrical systems and renewable-energy infrastructure across wind, solar, and thermal applications, serving utility and smart-city modernization projects. The stack—SAP ERP, PLCs, AutoCAD, Solidworks, Windchill PDM, and ROS—reflects a capital-equipment business integrating enterprise resource planning with engineering design and production control. Active adoption of OpenAI and Azure AI alongside aggressive BIM and Windchill-SAP integration projects suggests the company is automating design-to-manufacturing workflows and shifting from legacy siloed systems toward unified digital pipelines.
