PHILADELPHIA, PA, UNITED STATES, October 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On Time Edge, a leading provider of digital transformation strategies for manufacturing, has just announced that John Dyck, Chief Executive Officer of CESMII – The Smart Manufacturing Institute, will deliver the keynote address at the upcoming Manufacturing Scheduling Summit 2025, taking place November 2-4, 2025, at the Philadelphia Marriott Old City.

For manufacturing leaders, unlocking data ubiquity isn’t just a technology priority — it’s a margin, agility, and competitiveness issue. A global leader in smart manufacturing, Dyck will highlight the power of data interoperability—the ability to collect, contextualize, and deliver data rapidly across systems—and address the serious lack of connected, reusable data in today’s manufacturing landscape. Too often, companies are locked into point solutions: they select a single application to solve one problem, only to find themselves unable to repurpose their existing data when new challenges arise. This lack of reusable data prevents manufacturers from experimenting, scaling, and expanding their use of technology.

In his keynote, Dyck will show why manufacturers must instead mobilize their data to create enterprise-wide agility. With the right foundation, companies can quickly adopt emerging technologies, pivot when market conditions change, and continuously unlock new, innovative ways to make decisions—whether on the shop floor or in the boardroom. This approach empowers executives to protect margins, reduce firefighting, and accelerate growth by turning data into a strategic, reusable asset.

“For executives, the ability to harness and mobilize data isn’t just a technical challenge — it’s a business imperative tied to margins, agility, and growth,” said John Dyck. “There’s a critical gap in the market: manufacturers have rich data, but it isn’t ubiquitous, and they don’t know how to make it so. On Time Edge helps create a flexible, accessible data foundation so companies can act faster and make their systems more resilient, responsive, and profitable.”

Dyck leads CESMII, the U.S. Smart Manufacturing Institute chartered by the U.S. Department of Energy to accelerate the democratization of smart manufacturing technologies and practices. Under his leadership, CESMII has become a national force in helping manufacturers of all sizes achieve agility, efficiency, and competitiveness through digital transformation.

The Manufacturing Scheduling Summit 2025 will gather executives, operations leaders, and technology experts from across industries to explore how constraint-aware, real-time scheduling—enabled by APS, MES, and ERP integration—can reduce costs, increase throughput, and deliver measurable ROI. Dyck joins a distinguished speaker lineup that also includes executives from a global packaging and container producer and the leading manufacturing industry research agency.
