Hannover, Germany – February 10, 2026 – PlanetTogether and On Time Edge will jointly present at Hannover Messe 2026 with a clear message for manufacturing leaders: integration alone does not deliver performance. What differentiates high-performing operations today is whether production scheduling functions as an execution system — not just a planning tool.
Over the past decade, manufacturers have invested heavily in ERP, MES, and shop-floor integration. Data flows more freely than ever before. Yet many organizations continue to miss OTIF targets, struggle with recovery from disruption, and rely on expediting as a normal operating practice.
The issue is no longer system connectivity. It is operational accountability.
In many plants, production schedules remain embedded in ERP logic or managed in spreadsheets — optimized in theory, but disconnected from real-world variability. When materials are delayed, demand changes, or equipment goes down, schedules fracture. Teams revert to manual overrides, decision latency increases, and performance erodes.
PlanetTogether and On Time Edge will use their presence at Hannover Messe to reframe the discussion: performance improves when the schedule becomes the operational control point of the business.
This requires more than integration. It requires:
PlanetTogether delivers advanced, finite-capacity APS capabilities that allow manufacturers to model scenarios, evaluate tradeoffs, and rapidly re-optimize when conditions change. On Time Edge brings the enterprise architecture, execution discipline, and performance governance needed to ensure that schedules are actionable, measurable, and aligned with how the plant truly operates.
Together, the two organizations will highlight what they describe as the next phase of manufacturing maturity: moving from connected systems to performance-driven operations.
Manufacturers that treat scheduling as an execution discipline rather than a planning artifact have reported:
“Digital integration was essential, but it was never the end goal,” said Ted Recio, Chief Operating Officer of PlanetTogether. “The real impact happens when scheduling drives daily operational decisions and becomes the mechanism through which the business manages tradeoffs. That’s where measurable performance gains occur.”
Brian Vogel, CEO of On Time Edge, added: “We work with manufacturers who are already integrated yet still frustrated by inconsistent outcomes. The missing piece is not more data — it’s execution alignment. When the operating model, governance, and scheduling system are designed together, performance becomes predictable.”
At Hannover Messe (Hall 15, Stand G66, April 20–24), PlanetTogether and On Time Edge will focus on how manufacturers can redesign their digital and operational architecture so that the schedule becomes a trusted, continuously updated instrument for running the business — not a static output that is bypassed under pressure.
The conversation shifts from ‘Are our systems connected?’ to ‘Can we confidently run the plant against this schedule today?’
On Time Edge accelerates digital transformation across supply chain and manufacturing operations.
