A method of manufacturing a wind turbine blade shell part is described. Fibre mats and a root end insert are laid up in a mould part in a layup procedure by use of an automated layup system. The fibre mats are laid up by use of a buffer so that the fibre mats may continuously be laid up on the mould surface, also during a cutting procedure. The root end insert is prepared in advance and mounted on a mounting plate. The root end insert is lowered onto the mould by use of the mounting plate and a lowering mechanism. After the wind turbine blade shell has been moulded, the mounting plate is removed.

Manufacturing line for manufacturing wind turbine blades having a composite shell structure comprising a matrix material and a fiber reinforcement material by use of a resin transfer molding process is used to assemble wind turbine blades formed in a number of molds, including at least a first mold part having a first mold cavity. A gantry moves along the manufacturing line, in which the manufacture includes a) arranging fiber reinforcement material in the first mold cavity of a first mold using the gantry means, b) moving the gantry means along the manufacturing line to a second mold, c) supplying curable matrix material into the first mold cavity of the first mold, while substantially simultaneously arranging fiber reinforcement material in the first mold cavity of a second mold using the gantry means. The manufacturing line comprises a plurality of molds for forming wind turbine blades.
