Bosch and SAP Partnering for IoT Industry 4.0 Collaboration

Germany-based SAP and engineering behemoth Robert Bosch have entered a strategic partnership for Industry 4.0 and IoT. As part of this partnership, customers may be enabled to use the SAP HANA database from the Bosch IoT Cloud, to process large data sets in real time. SAP and Bosch will also combine their cloud and software expertise in the future.

The SAP HANA Cloud Platform will offer Bosch IoT micro-services in order to connect various components and devices. For example, connected screwdrivers could report their accurate location to the product system, which can select a torque based on the screwdriver's task.
