Autre version si problème ne plaît pas
En fait le problème c'est pour les autres et non pas pour lui:
'il est au fait du sujet/de la chose'

He is on point when asked about the benefits of transitioning to a smart factory. ABC is a 20,000 square foot fully automated industrial bakery based in DEF with plans to phase-in new smart-factory technologies.
I normally understand 'on point' as being like 'to the point', 'spot on', etc. — so it sounds as if he is on the ball, knows exactly what he's talking about, etc. Does this seem to be consistent with the rest of your document?
Usually, I'd say it means "when asked the question, his answer is spot on" — "his answer really hits the mark"; things like 'pertinent' or 'ad hoc'.
