A global leader in smart manufacturing, Dyck will highlight the power of data ubiquity—the ability to collect, contextualize, and deliver data rapidly across systems—as a foundation for driving better system performance and business outcomes. His keynote will emphasize that the faster manufacturers can harness and mobilize their data, the faster and more confidently executives and the front-line workforce can make decisions to protect margins, reduce firefighting, and accelerate growth.
“Data ubiquity is at the core of Smart Manufacturing transformation,” said John Dyck. “The faster you can access and act on data across your operations, the more resilient, responsive, and profitable your manufacturing systems become. I’m excited to join the Manufacturing Scheduling Summit to explore how manufacturers can make this vision a reality.”
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.
