On May 15, 2026, at a signing ceremony in Zhuhai, Wang Wei, CEO of SF Group, and Zhang Chuanwei, Chairman of Mingyang Group, held hands together. Someone in the audience whispered, "How do we fix the fan when delivering packages?" Wang Wei smiled and pointed to the fan blades on the PPT, saying, "In the future, it will also be our 'big package'

One is an Asian logistics giant, holding the sky and earth network; One is a global leader in offshore wind power, with operations spanning over 60 countries. The two giants share the same goal: to solve the problem of difficult medical treatment for offshore wind turbines using the logic of delivering packages.

Virtual exploration

The first level of offshore operations is' how to get there '. The hundred meter long blades weigh hundreds of tons, and land transportation often gets stuck due to bridge height restrictions. SF Express no longer sends experienced technicians to explore in person, but uses digital twin technology to run the route through the virtual world and confirm that it can pass before departing. At sea, the plan is even bolder: using eVTOL electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and electric boats to build a "sea airport", directly "airdropping" engineers and spare parts to the feet of the wind turbine.

Spare parts are readily available

A one-day shutdown of the fan results in huge losses, and waiting for a core spare part often takes several months. SF Express has moved the express delivery warehouse model over: high-value spare parts are stored in provincial central warehouses, and commonly used small items are stored in smart cabinets next to the ventilation yard. When a malfunction occurs, the system automatically matches the nearest source of goods, and the TMS system schedules transportation with the goal of forcibly reducing the waiting period for spare parts from "monthly level" to "day level".

Repair it before it breaks

Both parties plan to deploy AIoT sensors on the blades to capture early signals such as microcracks in real-time. Once the data is abnormal, the system will automatically dispatch orders and pre adjust spare parts. This means that the repair team was already on the way before the blade completely broke. This predictive maintenance will bring the industry from a new stage of "repairing when it breaks down" to a new stage of "treating before it breaks down".keywords:Infrastructure News

On the afternoon of the signing day, the joint team went to Zhuhai Jinwan Port for on-site survey. This cross-border cooperation is not only aimed at reducing costs and increasing efficiency for the two companies, but also at exporting a set of industry standards. In the future, this intelligent operation and maintenance model is expected to be replicated in major wind farms across the country, making offshore wind power operation and maintenance as efficient and controllable as receiving express delivery.Editor/Yang Meiling
