Opening up new business opportunities
We are entering a new era of global technology
innovation driven by an emerging Internet of
Things. The IoT will connect physical things and
logical services to form coordinated cyber-physical
systems. These new systems, and the networks of
such systems that will naturally arise, promise to
bring significant changes to nearly every area of
human activity. Simultaneously, the emerging cyber-
physical infrastructure will open up new business
opportunities and generate massive potential for
disruption within traditional value chains.

Creating new business models for the IoT

IoT business models are quite different than
traditional ones. In the Internet of Things we are
observing a move from conventional, linear value
streams to value creation within a network of
stakeholders; this calls for new ways of visualizing
value streams within the ecosystem. It also means
that, when defining business models, the focus has
to shift from the company level to the ecosystem
level so that all stakeholders streamline their efforts
to maximize benefits for target groups.

Connecting things, users, partners, and systems

The Internet of Things combines the physical
world with the virtual world. Bosch is already well-
established in both, creating reliable products of
superior quality that contain a significant amount
of software. With our Bosch IoT Cloud and Bosch
IoT Suite we are perfectly suited to deliver the key
benefit offered by the Internet of Things: connecting
users, business partners, devices, machines, and
enterprise systems with each other. This new
connectivity is the key factor for making the IoT
happen by bringing value-adding IoT solutions in
Industry 4.0, energy, mobility, smart home, and
smart city to life.

Into the cloud at full speed
The RaceCloud is set to make a broader impact on
motorsport teams. The solution is based on the Bosch
IoT Suite and enables racecar data to be monitored from
anywhere in near real time. A radio transmitter installed
in the car uses 4G mobile technology to transmit engine,
position, and speed data directly to the receivers in the pit
lane, where they are analyzed in real time.

The Bosch IoT Cloud
A trusted and secure home for our IoT solutions

Boschs own cloud the Bosch IoT Cloud already hosts a wide array of IoT solutions. Thanks to the Bosch IoT
Cloud, owners of Bosch smart homes can, for instance, remotely check the temperature at home and adjust it as
desired. It also processes sensor data from asparagus fields so that farmers can optimize their harvests and yields.
An online map showing available park-and-ride spaces near Stuttgart suburban train lines is in the works, and
software in vehicles can be updated over the air.

The Bosch IoT Cloud is a key element in enabling
Bosch IoT solutions. It consists of a highly scalable
cloud infrastructure based on Cloud Foundry,
which makes it faster and easier for IoT developers
to build, test, deploy, and scale their applications.
This infrastructure serves as the foundation for our
Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering, which helps IoT
developers create and deliver IoT solutions.
German cloud location
The Bosch IoT Cloud is hosted in a dedicated
data center near Stuttgart, Germany. One of the
fundamental requirements for the IoT to become
firmly established is that customers must be able
to trust that their data will be handled properly and
securely. We will fulfill this requirement by ensuring
strict data protection using the latest protective
mechanisms. Furthermore, the Bosch Group has set
itself fixed rules for dealing with personal customer
data we respect the right of our customers to know
what happens with their personal data. Ultimately, our
customers themselves can choose when to provide
their personal data and when they want to have it
deleted. Additional cloud locations are planned for the
United States and Singapore.
Addressing the specific needs of IoT developers, the
Bosch IoT Cloud comprises a large portfolio of ready-
to-use cloud services. The cloud design helps you
to: accelerate IoT projects, improve time-to-market
for new IoT solutions, profit from integrated security
mechanisms, and lower complexity and costs in your
IoT projects.

Cloud infrastructures usually comprise three levels which are also

available on the Bosch IoT Cloud:
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): This layer
serves as technical foundation for IoT applications
and provides the necessary resources to maintain
the overlying Platform and Software as a Service
layers.
Platform as a Service (PaaS): This layer comprises
the ready-to-use cloud services of the Bosch
IoT Suite, which are tailor-made for common
requirements in IoT scenarios. In addition, base
services, such as database services, runtimes, an
e-mailing service, and many more, can be directly
used. Therewith, our PaaS offering provides
developers the tools they need to create cloud-
native scalable applications.
Software as a Service (SaaS): This layer
represents the broad range of IoT solutions we
offer our customers. Thanks to the cloud design of
these solutions, customers do not have to worry
about either the technical infrastructure or in
most cases application installation and updates.

Rule-based analysis of production data
At the Bosch plant in Homburg, many Industry 4.0 projects have been implemented. One of these is the
rule-based analysis and processing of production data with help from software designed especially for
manufacturing experts. The idea is to reduce the effort and expense that goes into monitoring relevant
process data. To do this, a tool based on the Bosch IoT Suite has been implemented to oversee relevant
processes, which means that manufacturing experts can respond to deviations and faults more quickly.

Leading IoT platform

In a recent study entitled I4.0/IoT Vendor Benchmark 2016 Germany, the Experton Group
rated the Bosch IoT Suite as Leading. With this ranking, the analyst group attest that our
offering comprises a highly attractive range of products and services, and that Bosch Software
Innovations holds a particularly strong market position and competitive standing.

 The Bosch IoT Suite provides the foundation for service enablement, both in terms of
connecting things to the Internet reliably, securely, cost effectively and at scale and in
terms of delivering the backing application logic for value-added services. It is made up of
a set of software services that provide all of key middleware capabilities needed to build a
sophisticated IoT application from top to bottom. Customers can use any combination of these
IoT services as needed to rapidly implement the desired solution.

Cost effective Open and flexible

Bosch IoT Suite customers can focus entirely on IoT
application development that adds value, rather
than on IoT platform development, hosting, and
maintenance. This helps maximize the return on
investment (RoI). For users, paying for software
services is transparent: services are billed according
to progressive plans that are based on the number
of devices connected, active users, or transactions,
or on data volume. Any additional use is then
billed according to a usage-based pricing model.
A freemium package is also available for each
Bosch IoT Suite service for use during testing and
prototyping.
Innovative
The Bosch IoT Suite supports innovative business
models based on revenue sharing to minimize
the business risk of our customers. It opens up
cross domain business models by a consistent and
systematic access to Bosch and 3rd party devices.
Ready-to-use
The subscription for Bosch IoT Suite services to be
used in your individual IoT projects will just take
minutes. New features and services can be delivered
very quickly independently from an overall Bosch IoT
Suite release cycle. You can benefit from an excellent
platform with high service availability to develop
IoT solutions and offer them to your customers as
Software as a Service (SaaS).
The Bosch IoT Suite is explicitly designed to support
open, standards-based approaches to integrate with
other domain specific services. The suite itself is
also designed to be hosted in different ways to meet
differing requirements with respect to cost, elastic
scale, transparency and control: Bosch IoT Cloud,
customers own private cloud infrastructure, in a
public cloud environment or in a hybrid configuration.
Trusted and secure
In the interests of users and end customers, we
pursue the highest standards of data privacy. Our
data privacy policy requires us to provide users with
a transparent overview of what data is generated
and give them the option of deciding how their data
is used. Whats more, data hosted by the Bosch IoT
Cloud in Germany is subject to the German Data
Protection Act.
The Bosch IoT Suite comes with comprehensive
state-of-the-art security technology that can be
used directly in application development. We focus
particularly on the secure connection of sensors,
actuators, and embedded systems, using encryption
and a public key infrastructure (PKI). It is an area
in which Bosch subsidiary ESCRYPT also brings its
technology and expertise to bear to meet the IoTs
security and privacy requirements.

 Bosch smart home
system makes life
more convenient

Thanks to intelligent technology, your home can now adjust many things in the
background without you having to lift a finger, making your life more convenient, secure,
and sustainable. This intelligent home control is based on interconnected devices that
communicate with one another via the Bosch IoT Suite and automatically adapt to the
changing circumstances of your day-to-day life. The smart door/window contact, for
instance, notifies the radiator thermostat via the smart home controller when a window is
open, and energy consumption is then automatically adjusted. The intuitive navigation of
the smartphone app makes it very easy to set and control the smart home system, even
when youre not at home.

No one can do I(o)T alone
We believe that IoT requires a major change how established industries do business.
We are convinced that the key to success is business and technology ecosystems, not
individual players. That is why Bosch and Bosch Software Innovations take an active
role when it comes to partnerships and activities in OSS communities, standardization
bodies, and industry consortia.

With the Bosch IoT Suite, we are building an
open platform for the IoT market, leveraging
open-source technologies and open standards.
As a strategic member of the Eclipse
Foundation, Bosch demonstrates even more
clearly the strategic importance of open-source
initiatives in the Internet of Things. Boschs
involvement in the Eclipse community includes
participating in the Eclipse IoT and Eclipse
Automotive Working Groups. In the Eclipse IoT
Working Group, there are three projects initiated
by Bosch Software Innovations. Eclipse Vorto is
an international standard and open-source tool
to define the interfaces of devices and assets in
a technology-independent manner. The scope of
Eclipse hawkBit is to provide a software update
management service for the Internet of Things.
The recently initiated project Eclipse hono aims
to provide uniform (remote) service interfaces
for connecting large numbers of IoT devices to a
(cloud) backend. It specifically supports scalable
and secure data ingestion as well as command &
control message exchange patterns, and provides
interfaces for provisioning and managing device
identity and access control rules.
ProSyst, part of the Bosch Group since April
2015, is a longstanding member of the OSGi
Alliance Board of Directors and has been
driving OSGi specs from day one. OSGi is a
globally accepted standard and the key to
our gateway technology and remote technical
management. It is a common software platform
for the management of distributed devices and
for multi-device-vendors with complex software
requirements. OSGi technology is rapidly being
adopted by a growing industrial community,
including Bosch, as the software framework is
targeting all device classes. For Bosch, OSGi
offers the right balance between flexibility
and hardware cost for IoT gateways. There is
currently no other technology that is both more
future-proof on IoT gateways and more mature
than OSGi. ProSyst provides the most mature,
widely used, fastest and most efficient OSGi
implementation in commercial M2M and IoT
applications. Its technology has already been
integrated into the Bosch IoT Suite.
Bosch is a founding member of the Plattform
Industrie 4.0 and an active member of the
Industrial Internet Consortium. The reference
architectures developed by these bodies
provides a common language to enable faster
industrial IoT development and blueprints for
standards development.

Starting small is the key
to making IoT initiatives successful

Our experience with different industries shows that most IoT projects start with small numbers
of connected devices and limited complexity. And indeed, realizing a smart IoT solution with
manageable costs and time are often the key factors for successful IoT initiatives.

Best-practice example: IoT in agriculture

Bosch start-up Deepfield Robotics helps farmers maintain
the ideal temperature for asparagus growth. In just three
weeks of development time, Bosch developers created
this connected sensor solution for asparagus growers
based on the Bosch IoT Suite.
