Campus Update — Parque Zona Franca Navarrete (PIZFN) — Jan 30, 2026
BLUF
• Nearshoring fails for one boring reason: downtime. And downtime is often an energy problem — not a
labor problem.
• The parks that win are the ones that treat energy as an operational system: measure it, manage it,
and design redundancy so production stays predictable.
Why energy reliability is now a board-level topic
• Supply chain disruption is no longer episodic — it’s frequent, multi-causal, and expensive. The same
applies inside the plant: micro-outages, voltage swings, and peak demand events quietly erode
throughput.
• If your product is time-sensitive (retail compliance, medical devices, electronics), predictability beats
theoretical savings.
The real cost: what energy risk looks like on the factory floor
• Scrap/rework from unplanned line stops.
• Missed ship windows and expedited freight.
• Quality escapes when HVAC, compressed air, or process heat drifts.
• Lower OEE because teams ‘design around’ instability (buffers, slower speeds, extra inspections).
A practical de-risking checklist (what operators should ask a park)
• Do you have measured load visibility (kW) and historical consumption (kWh) for the campus?
• What is the peak-demand profile and how is it managed (sequencing, controls, tenant coordination)?
• What’s the plan for outages: standby generation, transfer procedures, fuel logistics, testing cadence?
• How is power quality handled (voltage monitoring, phase balance, grounding, surge protection)?
• Who owns the response in real time — and what’s the escalation path?
PIZFN operating stance: execution > promises
• We treat utilities as a managed service, not a checkbox.• The objective is simple: keep tenants running, keep problems small, and resolve issues in days — not
weeks.
• That’s how you move from decision to production faster, with fewer surprises.
CTA
• If you’re evaluating a DR footprint, ask for an energy reliability walkthrough (monitoring, peak profile,
backup procedures). We’ll show you the operational facts — not marketing claims.
