The combination of the Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things are supposed to be a driving force for progress. This combination can be applied in a wide variety of areas, including industrial automation, mobility, building technology and home appliances, resulting in better energy efficiency. Therefore, Bosch is applying the AIoT.
They are building on data science, to connect products and create synergies in all fields. Bosch thus seeks to make its products and services increasingly intelligent. Therefore, before the end of this year, all Bosch products and solutions will contain AI or will have been developed or manufactured with the help of AI.

Bosch drives development using Artificial Intelligence
According to the code of ethics that Bosch exposes: “Artificial intelligence must be safe, robust and explainable, and people must maintain control over it, as people must trust our AI-based products. Trust is just as important in digital business as product quality is in traditional business.".
AI as an ally of daily life
In production, artificial intelligence can complement human creativity and relieve workers of mundane tasks. They want to achieve concrete improvements in the real and daily life of people, such as being able to have more time, security, efficiency and comfort.
Technological revolution in the industry
Bosch is combining intelligent software for production control, monitoring and logistics planning on a proprietary manufacturing platform. It connects to a larger database to simplify and improve tasks like AI analysis for fault detection. I could afford save close to 1.000 million euros in the next five years, with an investment of about 400 million euros.
Driving productivity and efficiency
The connected solutions increase productivity by up to 25 percent. They also increase machine availability by up to 15 percent and reduce maintenance costs by up to 25 percent.
Innovation in manufacturing and safety
One of the key areas for the company has to do with industrial AI. Intelligent algorithms combined with expertise in transportation, manufacturing and buildings could allow a company to apply its talents in the manufacture of complex physical objects, combining them with its expertise in the field of artificial intelligence. The potential applications are multiple.
In chip manufacturing, AI helps detect anomalies. AI-based image processing enables automated optical inspection of wafers. And many more examples. AI technologies are key to making Bosch's new wafer factory in Dresden.
transforming manufacturing
Connecting machinery and processes intelligently and fitting them in with information and communication technology creates the basis for energy-efficient production. This implies the relocation of functions from hardware to software, further reinforcing it with digital twins. Bosch takes a modular approach, where the only static elements in the factory will be the floor, ceiling and walls. Everything else will be dynamic and variable.
