Case Study: Panasonic Energy of North America achieves best-in-class business continuity and faster risk response with SAI360

Panasonic Energy of North America Empowers Business Continuity with SAI360

Panasonic Energy of North America (PENA), the largest battery manufacturer in the U.S. and operator of the 8‑million‑square‑foot Gigafactory 1 (producing 5.5 million lithium‑ion batteries daily and employing over 4,500 people), faced a highly complex risk landscape — from seismic and fire hazards to power, weather and electrostatic threats — and needed to maintain business continuity and resilience across thousands of processes and massive data flows. David Young, who leads PENA’s business continuity program, required a solution that could quantify and prioritize hundreds of risks, align with senior leaders, and enable rapid recovery with a lean team.

PENA selected SAI360 for its advanced, scalable capabilities; the platform centralized risk and BIA data into a single pane of glass, enabled one‑click updates, integrated with PowerBI for visual reporting, and supported faster awareness and response. The result was improved visibility, data‑driven decision making, reduced recovery time objectives, and the ability for a small continuity team to scale and manage resilience across the gigafactory with confident, timely reporting to management.
