Bosch India's three pronged approach towards realising Industry 4.0

For Bosch India, its manufacturing locations have come a long way from when it was set-up in the early 50s. Today, the company's associates on the shop floor receive data in real time allowing them to take timely decisions. "With the largest R&D presence outside of Germany, Bosch India is well prepared for the digital transformation," stated Dr. Wolf. The Group in India is pooling in the resources of all its entities, such as Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions, the Group's engineering and services company in India, Bosch Rexroth India Pvt. Ltd. and the special machinery business unit to deliver on the needs of connected industry.

Bosch has the advantage of being able to quickly customize and adapt to the requirements of Industry 4.0 solutions. "Our target is to develop and implement these solutions in all of our different entities. Bosch India's strategy is three ponged- first, we want to learn and transfer know how from our European counterparts, second we will develop customized solutions for India. Finally, Bosch India aims to lead the Industry 4.0 development globally and compete with the best in class," he further commented.
