Bosch IoT Suite reached landmark number of connected devices, 10 million, and that number is still rising. The solution is used in more than 250 IoT projects around the world, and the number of connections rose over 20% in 2018.
The more than ten million connected “things“ include gateways in buildings, connected vehicles, and sensors in urban infrastructure or digital agriculture. The Bosch subsidiary’s playing field extends across the following growth areas for digitalization: agriculture, buildings, retail, energy, mobility, and manufacturing. “More than ten million devices is convincing proof that we have come a long way along the road to connecting the physical and virtual world. Bosch will continue this journey together with its customers and partners,“ said Stefan Ferber, CEO of Bosch Software Innovations.
The list of customers includes companies such as Deutsche Telekom, The Yield, Ponsse, Hager, Busch-Jaeger, and Amdocs, as well as numerous group-internal customers including the Bosch Rexroth subsidiary in the U.S. and Bosch Japan. The services provided by the Bosch IoT Suite are integrated in the cloud environments that most customers prefer for their projects. Apart from the Bosch IoT Cloud, they also include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and the Huawei Cloud. The cloud providers and Bosch work together as partners to develop scalable IoT business models for their shared customers, with each contributing their respective business and technology skills.
