New Bosch subsidiary develops solution for identifying fake products

Stuttgart, Germany – In 2023 alone, 152 million counterfeit goods with an estimated value of 3.4 billion euros were seized in the European Union – an increase of 77 percent compared to the previous year. Not only does this represent an economic loss for brand manufacturers, it also poses a risk for consumers. If toys, cosmetics, food, or even medicines that appear to be original products are in fact inferior goods, customers can suffer health, safety, or financial consequences.* This is precisely where Origify, a software solution from the newly established Bosch Secure Authentication GmbH, comes in. Together with Koenig & Bauer Vision & Protection GmbH, a leading provider of inspection and security technologies in the printing industry, the new Bosch subsidiary offers greatly improved brand protection and traceability for sensitive print products.“Thanks to this cooperation, we can make even better use of the opportunities in our target markets,” says Oliver Steinbis, CTO at Bosch Secure Authentication GmbH. “According to the consulting firm Smithers, the packaging market is set to grow to over 1.4 trillion U.S. dollars by 2028, while the security printing industry is set to grow to more than 35 billion U.S. dollars.” This size underlines the market potential for Bosch Secure Authentication and Koenig & Bauer Vision & Protection, which together aim to set new standards in product security with their solution. Authentication via unique surface structures The technical basis for unique identification is Bosch’s Origify solution, which records a product’s individual microstructures. To this end, an image is recorded during the production of each individual object, then converted into a digital identity, and finally stored securely in the cloud. All that’s required for verification is to take another photo using a smartphone app and compare it with the reference data stored in the database. This means a product’s authenticity can be clearly verified at any time – with no need for additional security features or imprints. Companies can use the solution to detect fake goods in-house – for example, to prevent counterfeit returns from entering the goods cycle. At the same time, the solution can be made available to end users: if a company gives the go-ahead, customers can verify the authenticity of its products themselves using a smartphone app. A version of Origify specially developed for the printing industry is now available under the name “Ovjera.” Designed for high volumes and manufacturing speeds, this software can be integrated directly into printing machines without slowing down the production flow. Here too, a forgery-proof digital identity is recorded for each printed product to reliably ensure traceability. About Bosch Secure Authentication GmbH Bosch Secure Authentication GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH, was founded in 2025 and is part of the Bosch Group. Bosch has been working intensively on authentication and traceability since 2017 and has already tested the technology on its own production lines. Projects to date were centered on registering and verifying automotive parts during production using Origify in a process that both serves legal requirements and maintains internal quality standards. Building on this, the company is now focusing on the development and marketing of solutions for the printing sector, the luxury goods market, and manufacturing industry.

Comprehensive Bosch portfolio for software-driven mobility is a crowd-puller

Stuttgart and Munich, Germany – The automotive industry is changing. Software and artificial intelligence are making cars even more digital, while codes and algorithms are turning driving into a customized experience. To develop its full potential, software needs the right hardware. After all, even the most modern car won’t move an inch without physical components. Bosch operates in all relevant areas of software-driven mobility, and is a partner for automakers across the globe – regardless of how much progress they have made in the transformation to the software-defined vehicle. With its profound automotive expertise, Bosch interconnects the various vehicle domains. From brakes, steering systems, and electric powertrains to sensors, vehicle computers, and software, the supplier of technology and services develops and manufactures the key components of modern vehicles under one roof. At booth D01 in hall B3, Bosch is showcasing its latest solutions for connected and intelligent transportation systems at IAA Mobility 2025 in Munich.Bosch driving assistance for more safety and convenience Automated driving is an essential feature of software-defined vehicles. Bosch is actively pressing ahead with its development, and systematically taking driver assistance systems to new levels – for greater safety and convenience. The company uses an End-to-End AI architecture: The use of AI along the entire technology chain accelerates development cycles and increases the performance of the software stack. For assisted driving and parking up to SAE Level 2, Bosch offers its ADAS (advanced driver assistance system) product family in three variants: entry-level, mid-range, and premium. These variants differ in scope of software function, the number and combination of sensors, and required computing power. Automakers can purchase the hardware and software as integrated or stand-alone packages. The number of automakers who have opted for various constellations of the Bosch ADAS product family now runs into double figures. Both the mid-range and luxury variants are already in series production in China. Also available to end customers on the market are connected map services that extend the vehicle's field of vision like an additional sensor. The crowd-based solution provides information on difficult weather and road conditions, accidents, or wrong-way drivers, for example. Sensors for precise surround sensing: More and more vehicles, including less expensive ones, are being equipped with comprehensive driver assistance systems. This explains why high-performance and cost-effective camera solutions are becoming increasingly important. The Bosch multi purpose camera is available as a camera-only solution, or alternatively as a new two-part system variant comprising camera head and control unit. In the camera-only solution, the entire ADAS function is installed in the camera itself, and computation is done there. This is particularly suitable for vehicles with decentralized architectures. The two-part system variant, on the other hand, is a step on the way to centralized architectures. It is particularly attractive for automakers who want to take advantage of advanced driver assistance functions in their existing architectures. In software-defined vehicles with centralized architectures, the camera’s safety-relevant computation is done in powerful computers. For its new radar sensor , Bosch has developed and manufactured all the key elements itself, including the system on a chip (SoC). Thanks to advanced semiconductor technology, the SX600 and SX601 radar sensors’ range is roughly 30 percent greater than that of comparable models. This technology also allows driving functions to be fully and cost-effectively integrated into the radar sensor. Both sensor types support AI-assisted signal processing. The SX601 offers significantly greater computing power than usual on the market, as well as even better detection properties. For improved system performance and maximum precision, two SX601s can be connected in series to use eight transmitting and eight receiving antennas. In software-driven mobility, centralized semiconductor architectures are taking on increasing importance. They govern many sensor-based functions, including ESP ® , navigation, and driver assistance systems. To reduce complexity, Bosch has developed the latest generation of especially powerful MEMS inertial sensors . They can provide several systems at once with the data they need. This “one-sensor-fits-all” approach features in Bosch sensors such as the SMU300 and SMI980 , which are already in use in inertial measurement units and in airbag control units. At the IAA, Bosch will also be presenting its new TB293 and TB193 chips for ultrasonic sensors , which offer the highest data transmission rate in the ultrasonic market. For even greater sensor performance, Bosch is also turning to raw data, with the signal being recorded directly at the ultrasonic sensor (at the transducer), which means that the full range of data is retained. This is a great advantage, especially for AI-based functions. As a result, the sensors allow much better object detection. Now, for the first time, these chips are freely available in the market, independent of any sensors. With this step, Bosch is also making its new VASI bus interface (versatile automotive sensor interface) available, thus setting a new standard in the market. This means that automakers have a wider choice of sensor supplier, benefit from state-of-the-art ultrasonic technology, and can avoid lock-in effects. New standards for Bluetooth-based tire pressure sensors: In the Bosch SMP290 , safety and energy efficiency go hand in hand. With its compact design, low power consumption, long life, and one-of-a-kind integration of acceleration and pressure sensor as well as ASIC including Bluetooth on one chip, it truly stands out. Not only that: it helps simplify vehicle architecture. Thanks to the standardized Bluetooth interface, the SMP290 also enables new applications such as direct interaction with a smartphone. Bosch solution for damage detection: With its small damage detection , Bosch demonstrates how to cleverly combine software and hardware. This solution uses existing vehicle components such as the airbag ECU and sensors, obviating the need for any additional hardware. And in software-defined vehicles, small damage detection can even be updated over the air, after the vehicle has been purchased. It accurately detects even minor damage to the vehicle – both while driving and when parked. Small damage detection registers shocks that are below the threshold for airbag deployment, storing the relevant data. The system thus enables fast, automated, and objective damage detection. Act-by-wire technology: the future of vehicle control Act-by-wire systems transmit the driver’s steering and braking commands purely electronically. They are highly relevant for software-driven mobility, especially for the personalization of vehicle dynamics and handling, and for higher-level modes of automated driving. New brakes and steering for greater flexibility: Braking and steering via electrical cables (act-by-wire) opens up the possibility of new concepts for the steering wheel and brake pedal, crash-optimized design, and the more flexible positioning of components and the design of the interior. Bosch is one of the pioneers in the development of this technology, and soon one of the first to market it. Its brake-by-wire solution , comprising a by-wire actuator and ESP®, will feature in a production vehicle of a major Asian automaker. What is special about the hydraulic Bosch by-wire braking system is that it requires absolutely no mechanical connection between the brake pedal and the braking system. Software systems solution for vehicle dynamics: Bosch Vehicle Motion Management assumes the task of intelligently controlling actuators. This systems solution perfectly synchronizes the brakes, steering, chassis, and powertrain. Vehicle Motion Management is suitable for all vehicles and marques in the passenger-car segment. It takes the driving experience to a new level. Thanks to a special software function, the vehicle can be transformed into a super-maneuverable urban vehicle, a powerful speedster, or a limousine with chauffeur-driven comfort – depending on the individual driver’s mood. It can be activated either at the push of a button or by AI, which works in the background to customize the vehicle. Software function against travel sickness: Vehicle Motion Management’s “ Comfort Stop ” function increases comfort and counters travel sickness. The interaction of the brakes and the electric motor can reduce the jerk resulting from braking by 70 to 90 percent and gently bring the vehicle to a standstill. The shift from decentralized to centralized vehicle architectures Software-defined functions require a completely diffrent setup for the electronic components and systems. Intelligence in the vehicle will be centralized in a few high-performance computers, instead of being distributed among currently sometimes more than 100 individual control units. This reduces the need for wiring, and makes both centralized processing and over-the-air updates possible. Bosch can supply the basic framework for any vehicle. Powerful computers for the software-defined vehicle: The Bosch portfolio not only includes centralized, powerful computers and state-of-the-art software , but also scalable and adaptable vehicle infrastructure. Bosch’s centralized high-performance computers and all its other components feature state-of-the-art communication interfaces. Depending on requirements, the resulting communication infrastructure can either be fast and broadband or lean and especially cost-efficient. Here, a key role is played by zone-level control units, which aggregate and translate the various communication channels and media. Robust on-board networks with zone-based architecture and 48-volt technology create the basis for a stable power supply that satisfies the growing requirements of modern vehicles. On the level of power-supply infrastructure, the key components supplied by Bosch include its 48-volt Powernet Master , which ensures that the vehicle’s safety-relevant functions are supplied with power at all times. The portfolio also includes combined communication and power-supply solutions, and well as zone-level control units. The range is rounded out by intelligent solutions for power distribution. These not only open up new diagnostic and maintenance options, but also meet the most stringent functional safety requirements. Faster data transmission in modern vehicles: It takes automotive ECUs just milliseconds to exchange data. The invisible backbone of this communication is the controller area network, or CAN. In vehicle architectures, such networks ensure a high level of stability, simplicity, flexibility, and cost efficiency. And with the new Bosch CAN SIC XL transceiver , they work especially fast – up to 20 Mbit/s in the case of CAN XL networks. In addition to the customary CAN commands, the new CAN XL standard can transmit internet protocol (IP), and thus complies with the requirements of modern E/E architectures. ETAS software: The Bosch subsidiary ETAS offers a Vehicle Software Platform Suite , which provides a stable and secure basis for the efficient development and management of scalable vehicle architecture. It supports all modern vehicle architectures – from classic control units to powerful computers and platforms for assisted and automated driving. Customers can use it to efficiently create state-of-the-art vehicle platforms and market them more quickly. As a founding member of Eclipse S-Core, ETAS uses a code-first approach as an integral part of the platforms it offers, and in this way plays a major part in shaping the open-source initiative. Using the ETAS Comprehensive Measurement Solution , vehicle functions can be validated quickly and cost-effectively, and system behavior optimized efficiently. The platform software records data in real time, and perfectly synchronizes internal data from microprocessor-based control units. This scalable and flexible solution can be adapted to various E/E architectures and to vehicle domains such as assisted and automated driving (ADAS/AD), infotainment, and motion. Bosch powertrain solutions: powerful and efficient In the powertrain domain, too, Bosch is responding to the growing requirements of software-driven mobility, and is developing sophisticated solutions. Following a technology-neutral approach, Bosch offers concepts for powertrains ranging from combustion engines to electric motors. Silicon-carbide semiconductors for electromobility: Automakers, automotive suppliers, and distributors can draw on a wide range of Bosch silicon-carbide (SiC) power semiconductors for diverse automotive applications. Silicon carbide is seen as a key technology for electromobility. Bosch offers its dual-channel trench MOSFETs as 750 and 1200 volt versions – unpackaged for inverter modules or packaged for on-board chargers, DC/DC converters, and inverters. By 2030, Bosch predicts that one in three newly registered cars and light trucks will be battery-electric. In electromobility, the Chinese market is setting the pace. Bosch is playing an active part in its development. Here, scalable and standardized platforms are crucial in making innovations universally available and affordable. They are also the basis of the broad Bosch portfolio for electric and hybrid vehicles of all types (Mild Hybrid, Strong Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid, Range-extended electric vehicle). A global platform for a wealth of variants: Oil-cooled Bosch e-axles can be used as primary or secondary powertrains. They are globally available and locally adaptable. The 3-in-1 e-axle combines an electric motor, power electronics, and transmission. Bosch is adding further energy management components to its e-axle, such as an on-board charger, a DC/DC converter, and a power distribution unit. This combination of several functions in one unit offers a number of benefits, including a more compact design, lighter weight, and optimized costs, while increasing efficiency at the same time. From electric vehicle to mobile energy storage unit: Although they take up 30 percent less space, the latest generation of bidirectional charger converters , which combine an on-board charger with a DC/DC converter, are even more efficient. This systems solution is much easier to integrate, whether close to the powertrain in the e-axle or close to the battery. With bidirectional flows of energy, an electric vehicle can also function as a mobile energy storage unit. Inverters with greater power density: A new generation of inverters featuring power modules and semiconductors as well as innovative inverter topologies is paving the way for significant progress in power density and efficiency. And in electric motors as well, Bosch is moving ahead. Automakers can benefit from a globally standardized technology platform comprising various electric motors and active components such as rotors and stators. Shorter winding heads, innovative cooling designs including a direct copper conductor and magnet solution, and innovative materials are having a positive effect on electric motors’ size, efficiency, and use of materials. Increased range, reduced charging time : Standardized hardware means that intelligent software is gaining in significance. It can be used to extend range and curtail recharging time. Synchronous control (voltage modulation) allows efficiency to be increased by 1.5 percent, and an electric vehicle’s peak power and continuous output by 10 percent. Solely by using software, switching behavior can be synchronized with the rotation of the electric motor, without modifying the hardware. This extends the vehicle's range and simultaneously enhances the driving experience. Through the software feature eAxle Heating , the electric vehicle's battery is optimally preconditioned prior to charging. This facilitates higher charging capacities and consequently reduces vehicle downtimes. Digital proof of renewable fuels: In addition to electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles can also reduce carbon emissions from road traffic. This is why Bosch is continuing to develop injection and exhaust-gas treatment technology for combustion engines. Apart from strong and plug-in hybrids, electric vehicles with range extenders are becoming increasingly common, especially in China. Using renewable fuels in hybrid vehicles makes them much more climate-friendly. Proof that such fuels are in the tank can be provided by a Bosch cloud solution, the Digital Fuel Twin . This also shows how much less CO2 has been emitted. Optimum battery temperature: Thermal management systems can further increase the efficiency of hybrid and electric vehicles. By deliberately controlling flows of cold and heat, they ensure that the high-voltage battery remains within the optimum temperature window at all times, that the electric motor does not overheat under heavier loads, and that as little electricity as possible is used for cooling and heating. For this, Bosch is developing pre-integrated modules that combine essential elements such as electric cooling compressors and coolant pumps. This considerably reduces complexity and installation effort. In new systems, the coolant used is propane (R290), which is already used in heat pumps and tumble dryers. Intelligent coordination of energy management: The modular software solutions used in Bosch Vehicle Energy Management distribute energy in the vehicle in an especially intelligent way. An integrated approach coordinates and optimizes energy management and its component subsystems such as thermal management, powertrain, on-board network, and charging system. This connected system also takes account of current and forecast vehicle parameters, as well as of road conditions and driver behavior. In this way, electric vehicles’ efficiency, convenience, and service life can be further improved. Bosch Vehicle Energy Management is also offered as a hardware-agnostic solution. Safety in critical operating states: Together with its electronic disconnect unit , the Bosch battery management system monitors and controls the high-voltage battery’s cells – in both electric cars and plug-in hybrids. In critical operating states, it provides the necessary safety mechanisms. It also optimizes power output and battery life. It comprises a control unit as well as elements that are attached to the individual battery modules and that monitor each individual cell. Software functions, such as the battery passport that will be required in the EU from 2027, can also be integrated. In the event of an accident, the electronic disconnect unit disconnects the battery from the vehicle electronics. The battery management system, the cell monitoring units, and the charger-converter can be brought together in this disconnect unit, thereby reducing complexity. New battery for the on-board network: To meet ever greater demands for power, more and more electric vehicles will feature a 48-volt on-board network in the future. To satisfy this need, Bosch is developing a 48-volt lithium-ion battery – in addition to the 48-volt battery for mild hybrids it has already manufactured millions of times. The new variant will consistently provide the power needed for safety-critical features and for highly automated driving, but also when the vehicle is stationary for a protracted period. The battery can be flexibly integrated into the vehicle. Unlike conventional 12-volt batteries, it is lead-free. Bosch ESI[tronic] adds Tesla to its diagnostic program: The range of vehicles covered by Bosch’s tried and tested ESI[tronic] diagnostic software now also includes Tesla models. For the first time, therefore, independent workshops will now be able to use their everyday multibrand solution to perform extensive diagnostic work on Tesla models . Accessing diagnostic data was a special challenge when integrating Tesla. In contrast to many other automakers whose data Bosch receives in advance and translates into [ESI]tronic languages, the original Tesla diagnosis interacts in English only. And while other documentation is available in several languages, it is not available in all 23 of the languages supported by [ESI]tronic. To deal with this language barrier, Bosch has now come up with a technical solution that works with artificial intelligence, and has integrated this automatic translation functionality directly into the diagnostic process. As soon as a mechatronics engineer hooks up to a Tesla, the English diagnostic information is translated in real time into the user’s selected [ESI]tronic system language. This innovative approach ensures that independent workshops can work on Tesla vehicles efficiently and precisely, without language difficulties. This addition is an important step toward providing independent workshops with a future-proof, comprehensive diagnostic solution for the growing electric-vehicle segment.Bosch press conference: Monday, September 8, 2025, 11:00–11:20 CEST: with Dr. Stefan Hartung, chairman of the board of management of Robert Bosch GmbH, and Dr. Markus Heyn, member of the Bosch board of management and chairman of Bosch Mobility, at the Bosch booth D01 in Hall B3 and via Livestream im Bosch Media Service .

Sensor technology: Bosch sets standards for Bluetooth-based tire pressure sensors

Stuttgart, Germany – Tire pressure sensors play a crucial role when it comes to safety and efficiency in road traffic – whether for motorcycles, trucks, cars, or buses. They help to extend tire life, reduce fuel consumption, and increase vehicle safety. Tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) are already required by law for passenger cars in many regions of the world, including Europe, the U.S., and China. With the new SMP290, Bosch has developed and launched the first extremely compact MEMS (micro-electromechanical system) sensor with an integrated Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface for measuring tire pressure. The Bluetooth functionality not only improves efficiency but also safety throughout the entire lifetime of the sensor....Peter Wolfangel, member of the board of management of Bosch Mobility Electronics SMP290: energy and precision marvel with great potential The SMP290 is based on Bosch's leading MEMS technology. It is the first fully integrated solution with a Bluetooth interface available on the market. The sensor combines all essential components for TPMS. These include a microcontroller, Bluetooth interface, 2-axis acceleration sensor, as well as pressure and temperature sensors. What makes the SMP290 special is its high level of integration and extremely low power consumption, which enables an operating lifespan of up to ten years. The greatest potential, however, lies in bidirectional wireless communication. “The Bluetooth functionality not only improves efficiency but also safety throughout the entire lifetime of the sensor,” explains Peter Wolfangel, member of the board of management of Bosch Mobility Electronics and responsible for development. The Bluetooth connection enables secure communication between the sensor and the vehicle. The software on the sensor can be updated quickly and easily via over-the-air updates, ensuring that the sensor remains up to date throughout its entire life cycle. The SMP290 offers both technical and commercial advantages at several levels of the value chain: as a component for system integrators, it saves space and energy. As part of the vehicle architecture, it enables vehicle manufacturers to exploit synergies with other BLE systems. In addition, the Bluetooth capability facilitates user-friendly applications, such as convenient tire pressure monitoring directly via smartphone. Reduced vehicle complexity thanks to smart system architecture Many technological advances in vehicles improve the safety and comfort of road users. At the same time, however, they also make vehicles more complex. Bosch aims to leverage synergies and simplify components and vehicle architectures, as Peter Wolfangel explains: “The SMP290 is designed as an integrated system and can therefore make optimum use of synergies within a vehicle’s hardware and software.” The sensor can share communication modules with other components, such as keyless access systems, thereby preventing redundancies and complicated cabling. “This contributes to a more efficient and leaner design that benefits the vehicle throughout its entire life cycle,” says Wolfangel. Award nomination highlights innovation level For three decades, the “Best of Sensors Awards” have already been recognizing technologies, executives, and companies that are actively shaping the future of sensor technology, connectivity, and automation. The SMP290 sensor from Bosch is one of five innovations nominated in the “Best Automotive & Mobility Solution” category. “We are delighted that the SMP290 is among the nominees, as it is a solution that will improve the energy efficiency and safety of all types of vehicles,” Wolfangel underlines. The decision will be announced live at Sensors Converge 2025 on Wednesday, June 25, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in California.

Bosch and Arrow Electronics extend distribution agreement

Bosch and the global technology solutions provider Arrow Electronics have signed a distribution contract. Arrow now distributes a wide range of Bosch automotive semiconductors on the European market. The two companies already cooperated in North America before.Electronics experts enhance collaboration As one of the largest providers of technology products and services in the electronics industry, Arrow distributes semiconductors from almost all leading suppliers. “We are convinced that automotive manufacturers and suppliers in Europe will benefit from our cooperation. In the future, Arrow will offer its customers an even wider selection of high-quality semiconductor components. The procurement of electronic components from different suppliers can now be comprehensively bundled,” says Philipp Schäfer, Senior Vice President Sales at Bosch Mobility Electronics. “Arrow is strong in consulting and has excellent logistics processes. We have already gathered very positive experiences in our collaboration with Arrow in the North American market.” Arrow has been distributing semiconductor components from Bosch there for several years and will now also represent Bosch's entire automotive semiconductor portfolio in the European market – from power semiconductors made of silicon carbide (SiC) to ASIC chips (application-specific integrated circuits) and MEMS sensors (micro electro-mechanical systems). In the future, Bosch products will also be directly and conveniently available through Arrow's online store. SiC chips: two generations of power semiconductors Silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors are indispensable for e-mobility thanks to their high conductivity and suitability for high switching speeds. Bosch distributes two generations of its SiC chips via Arrow: the latest generation features optimized switching properties and a very low on-resistance over the entire temperature range. All chips are available both as unpackaged individual chips – so-called bare dies, which are used in high-performance applications such as inverters – and as packaged discrete chips, for example for use in DC/DC converters. ASIC: from control to safety At the interface between the microcontroller and peripherals, ASICs and system-on-chips (SoC) provide the required operating voltages, read sensor data, make logical decisions, and control actuators. ASIC components from Bosch are suitable for a wide range of applications, including engine and transmission control, as well as steering, driver assistance, and safety systems. Innovative gate drivers are available to match the SiC chips. They increase efficiency through intelligent control, thereby extending the range of electric vehicles. MEMS sensors: Bosch among the market leaders According to the market research institute Yole (Status of the MEMS Industry 2024, Yole Intelligence), Bosch has already held the position of leading MEMS supplier for four years. Every day, the company manufactures more than four million MEMS sensors, which are essential for safety and comfort in modern vehicles. For example, acceleration, rotation rate, and pressure sensors detect motion in adaptive chassis control and ensure that airbags are released at the right moment. A fully integrated Bluetooth low-energy sensor solution for tire pressure monitoring with minimal power consumption is also obtainable from Arrow. In addition, Bosch is expanding the portfolio available from Arrow to include sensors for “road noise canceling” and condition monitoring of machines and equipment. Together with the latest generation of inertial sensors for navigation applications, they contribute to the fact that around one in three of the 20 MEMS sensors installed in a typical vehicle today is from Bosch.

CES world premiere: Bosch unites infotainment and driver assistance functions on ...

Stuttgart – The trend toward software-defined mobility goes hand in hand with a centralized vehicle and electric/electronic (E/E) architecture. While numerous electronic control units usually control different functions in the car today, in the future just a few central vehicle computers will unite multiple system functions from previously separate domains. To do this, new computers with a powerful processor, known as a system on chip (SoC), are necessary. As an innovation and technology leader, Bosch is leading the charge and, at CES® 2024 in Las Vegas, will be the world’s first automotive supplier to demonstrate the fusion of infotainment and driver assistance functions in a software-intensive central computer on a single SoC. “We want to reduce the complexity of the electronics systems in cars and make them as secure as possible at the same time. With this demonstration of our new vehicle computer platform at CES, we are taking an important step in exactly this direction. Our goal in the medium term is to bring even more automated driving functions to the road, including to the compact and midsized car segments,” says Dr. Markus Heyn, member of the board of management at Robert Bosch GmbH and chairman of Bosch Mobility.At the core of the new vehicle computer from Bosch – called the cockpit & ADAS integration platform – is a single SoC, which processes a variety of functions from the two domains of infotainment and driver assistance simultaneously. This includes, for example, automated parking and lane detection, paired with smart, personalized navigation and voice assistance. Advantages for vehicle manufacturers: less space and cabling required, meaning lower costs. Central vehicle computers are the heart of software-defined cars. In the future, they will control all the domains in modern vehicles and reduce the currently high number of individual control units...says Dr. Markus Heyn, member of the board of management at Robert Bosch GmbH and chairman of Bosch Mobility. Overall, Bosch is already doing good business with vehicle computers: in 2026, the company expects sales revenue of three billion euros just for vehicle computers for infotainment and driver assistance. Modular system principle for maximum scalability For its central vehicle computers, Bosch uses a modular system principle. Together with stand-alone software solutions such as video perception for surround sensing, vehicle manufacturers can modularly and scalably assemble their individual solutions in combination with hardware components. Software-intensive central computers play a decisive role here, since they enable manufacturers to implement driving and assistance features. Software integration is in strong demand here. Bosch brings integrative expertise and enables software components from various sources to be combined. Bosch knowledge in all vehicle domains as a competitive advantage Nearly every vehicle maker in the world is currently investing massively in software-defined vehicles. Bosch predicts that the market for automotive software will reach a volume of around 200 billion euros by 2030. In the field of vehicle computers for infotainment and driver assistance systems, the company expects a market volume of 32 billion euros in 2030. Bosch’s advantage is its extensive knowledge in all vehicle domains. This means that the company is an expert not just for software but also for hardware, and develops and manufactures key components of modern vehicles, such as for drives, brakes, steering, infotainment, and automated driving, under one roof. Bosch’s approach allows maximum flexibility Bosch pursues what is known as a multi-SoC approach. The company’s new vehicle computers are designed so that the required SoCs can come from different chip manufacturers. Therefore, depending on the customer’s wishes, Bosch can use exactly the SoC that is requested. “Our software runs on chips from different manufacturers. This allows software and hardware to be decoupled from each other,” says Heyn. Bosch is one of the few companies that can develop a centralized electronic architecture from start to finish and has mastered the interplay of automotive electronics, software, and the cloud. New features, such as for driver assistance, are simply and easily sent to the car through over-the-air updates. This provides drivers with a personalized digital driving experience – even long after purchasing the car. Presskit #BoschCES 2024 Event #BoschCES 2024

Hardware, software, and services: Bosch delivers smart solutions for software-de ...

Stuttgart and Munich, Germany – Vehicles are an integral part of today’s digital world. In the future, new functions for connectivity, automation, personalization, and highly efficient powertrains will increasingly be delivered by software and smart hardware. Bosch is equally at home in both domains: from brakes, steering systems, and electric powertrains to sensors, vehicle computers, and software solutions, the supplier of technology and services develops and manufactures the key components of modern vehicles under one roof. Bosch will be presenting its latest fascinating solutions for safe and sustainable mobility at IAA Mobility 2023 in Munich. Hardware, software, and new services for the mobility sector will be on show at the Bosch booth in hall B3, booth D10.Powerful hardware One of the biggest trends in the mobility industry is toward high-performance vehicle components that are also compatible with software from other vendors. Bosch offers hardware whose intelligence can be embedded both in the components themselves and, for example, in central vehicle computers. Invisible, yet everywhere : Semiconductors are an essential part of technical devices: as one of the top ten semiconductor manufacturers in the automotive segment, Bosch is continually investing in research and development and in expanding its worldwide semiconductor manufacturing network. Its portfolio includes integrated circuits, MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) sensors, power semiconductors, and power modules. For automakers who define their own electrical/electronic (E/E) vehicle architectures, Bosch offers the ability to precisely tailor the functional scope of semiconductors to this architecture. Sensors for precise surround sensing : Surround sensing is indispensable for automated driving functions. Bosch’s new radar sensors enable assisted and automated driving functions at SAE Levels 0 to 3. For the sixth generation of these radar sensors, Bosch has incorporated artificial intelligence. This new generation performs better at measuring distance, high speeds, and angular resolution; as a result, objects such as motorcycles can also be reliably detected across the entire field of view. Bosch will also be presenting a new generation of ultrasonic sensors at the IAA. Thanks to AI-based height classification, these sensors offer more robust detection capabilities; this allows them, for example, to estimate the approximate height of an obstacle. Moreover, tripling of the echoes makes these sensors even more sensitive, enabling them to achieve quick and reliable detection of pedestrians and low-reflection objects, for example. The portfolio is rounded off with new camera housings . Image analysis no longer takes place in the camera itself, but rather in central vehicle computers such as Bosch’s ADAS Integration Platform. Available in 3- and 8-megapixel variants, plus the option of a 12-megapixel version for Level 4 applications, the camera housings are at the cutting edge of image sensor technology. Next-generation vehicle computers : Bosch offers modular and scalable components for customer-specific E/E architectures with individually configurable vehicle computers. The vehicle integration platform is the enabler of software-defined vehicles with centralized and zonal E/E architectures. The idea is to move the vehicle’s application software into central vehicle computers. This way, the vehicle integration platform enables functional integration across all domains, such as body, motion, and comfort. Over-the-air updates ensure that vehicle software is always kept up-to-date. The ADAS integration platform is a Bosch vehicle computer for the domain of advanced driver assistance systems. This powerful computer can deliver assisted and automated driving functions and parking at SAE Levels 0 to 4. Thanks to its modular and scalable architecture, the platform can be tailored to the specific requirements of each automaker – including the flexible integration of third-party software, for example. The cockpit integration platform combines the computing tasks of the infotainment and instrumentation domains in a single computer. Depending on performance and functional safety requirements, additional functions can be integrated into the computer from other domains, such as climate control, connectivity, driver assistance functions, and camera-based applications such as driver and occupant monitoring, surround view, and dashcam recording. The motion integration platform focuses on safety-related application software for the powertrain, chassis, and steering. To complement this portfolio, Bosch offers its zone ECUs , which act as a link between vehicle computers and distributed ECUs, sensors, and actuators. Reliable energy supply : The Bosch powernet guardian ensures that safety-related functions in the vehicle are supplied with power at all times. In the event of a fault, an electronic isolating switch separates the safety-relevant electrical system from the rest of the (standard) consumers, such as seat heating and window lifters. With a high depth of predictive diagnostics, the powernet guardian promptly detects safety-critical supply gaps, isolates faulty paths, and safeguards the energy supply with hardware redundancies. This functionality will play a central role in future E/E architectures and for automated driving. Next steps in electromobility : Bosch is continuing to expand its portfolio of electromobility solutions. For the first time, it will be manufacturing an electric motor and inverter using 800-volt technology. The motor offers improved power and torque density, while the inverter uses silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors that enable it to reach an efficiency of up to 99 percent. In addition, a charger-converter, which combines a charger and a high-voltage DC/DC converter in a single housing, will soon go into production. This solution will save space and cut costs. Setting the right temperature in electric cars and hybrids : Bosch uses intelligent thermal management to increase the range of electric and hybrid vehicles. Optimal coordination of the refrigerant circuit and the cooling circuit enables precise distribution of heat and cold, improves the efficiency of the battery, and ensures that all components are working within their optimum temperature range. For this purpose, Bosch is developing flexible thermal units as pre-integrated solutions. With fewer parts, assembly steps, and cables, these reduce installation space and weight. Passengers also benefit: the thermal management system delivers a pleasant temperature inside the vehicle. The global brushless blower plays an active part in increasing climate comfort in the passenger compartment. Depending on the outside temperature and the vehicle occupants’ requirements, it transports the flow of air into the vehicle interior for cooling or heating. Smart motor topology enables a compact design that significantly reduces weight, increases power density, and reduces noise emissions. The future of steering : Steer-by-wire systems eliminate the physical connection between a vehicle’s steering wheel and its wheels. This opens up new possibilities for redesigning the vehicle interior. Especially in an age of automated driving, this technology enables new cockpit concepts by allowing the steering wheel to be lowered or stowed away. In addition, steer-by-wire applications also provide the basis for new safety features in vehicle dynamics control. Bosch is systematically driving forward the development of this technology and wants to bring steer-by-wire systems to the market on a commercial scale by the middle of the decade. Enhanced brake systems : The latest generation of Bosch’s electronic stability program (ESP®) is a key component of modern brake systems. Combined with the electromechanical brake booster, iBooster , it ensures the requisite brake system redundancy during automated driving, provides a high degree of brake pressure build-up dynamics for automatic emergency braking, and improves the efficiency of braking energy recuperation in hybrid and electric vehicles. Vehicle dynamics control 2.0 is the new core control system of ESP®. Based on sensor information, it anticipates vehicle behavior and intervenes proactively. Enhanced performance, compact size : Performance Line SX is a compact drive unit from Bosch eBike Systems that allows e-cyclists to make their way through city traffic dynamically and efficiently. The new drive unit delivers a maximum torque of 55 newton meters (Nm) and a power-to-weight ratio of up to 300 watts per kilogram (W/kg). When riding in a sporty style, it provides a level of support disproportional to the cyclist’s performance while offering a natural riding sensation. Performance Line SX blends in with the sleek look of modern urban eBikes, so the result looks similar to a conventional bike. And its weight of around two kilograms offers real benefits when it comes to quickly getting from A to B or occasionally carrying the eBike up the stairs. Smart software New functions for greater efficiency, safety, and comfort are increasingly being introduced into vehicles through smart software. This trend affects not only product development and product use, but also the way in which people experience mobility. It also enables new business and collaboration models. Surround sensing as a standalone software module : Video-based surround sensing plays a key role on the journey from assisted to automated driving. Various camera sensors capture images of the vehicle’s surroundings and process this data in a way that allows it to be used for more advanced driver assistance and automated driving and parking functions. Bosch video perception is a purely software solution that can be deployed on various systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). Fast and reliable development of automated driving : Bosch subsidiary ETAS is launching a special middleware as a link between the operating system and individual software applications in the vehicle. This solution allows software functions for driver assistance and automated driving to be continuously improved. It enables instant communication between software applications at a bandwidth of more than 10 gigabytes per second (GB/s) without compromising security. Deterministic behavior allows many development steps to be performed virtually with recorded real data. Reproducible simulation-based validation makes it possible to reduce the number of costly test-drive kilometers in real traffic conditions. Boosting safety with assistance systems : Bosch driving assist makes driving safer and more comfortable. By putting together their desired package of functions from a modular system of longitudinal and lateral guidance, automatic lane change, and emergency braking, vehicle manufacturers can implement SAE Level 2 automated driving functions. The most advanced variant, Bosch driving assist premium, uses a 360-degree camera belt to expand the application of automated driving functions from the freeway to urban and rural traffic situations. Vehicle motion und vehicle dynamics : Bosch vehicle motion management controls and coordinates driving behavior by optimizing the interaction between braking, steering, chassis, and powertrain systems. Its functions include vehicle dynamics control 2.0, the latest generation of Bosch systems for vehicle dynamics, traction control, and antilock braking. This function anticipates likely vehicle behavior and intervenes proactively. The result is a driving experience that is very safe, agile, and relaxed. Development of connected vehicle systems : PANTARIS is a cloud-based platform that offers essential services and tools for the efficient development and scalable operation of software for vehicle systems. As well as ensuring the worldwide availability of mobility services, PANTARIS also includes a developer portal for managing vehicles and services. PANTARIS and the applications it offers are based on cloud-independent technology, making them compatible with all public cloud providers. PANTARIS Connect provides the basic services for vehicle connectivity and operation over the entire vehicle lifecycle. PANTARIS Creator provides easy access to software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools for the secure development and operation of cloud services. PANTARIS Workspace offers a central point of access for developers to book and manage services, making it quick and easy to implement specific applications. Energy management for electric vehicles : Bosch’s connected vehicle energy management system brings together an electric vehicle’s thermal management, powertrain, and electrical system. This ensures the optimum distribution of energy at the vehicle level, thereby reducing energy consumption and increasing comfort. It also paves the way for new functions such as safe home mode. This assists the vehicle in reaching its destination with the remaining battery charge by reducing the power consumption of comfort items such as heating and climate control as necessary. Digital world on two wheels : The eBike Flow app provides e-bikers with digital support on the go to help make their eBike part of the connected world. Increasing connectivity between key components with digital features allows bikers to tailor their eBike experience to their personal needs. over-the-air updates further enhance the eBike riding experience. Robust services Bosch is taking software-defined mobility a step further and launching new services to enhance customer safety, security, and convenience. This is also giving rise to new business models that Bosch is systematically advancing. Better range forecasts and suitable charge points : Important information for drivers of electric vehicles includes the available range of their vehicle and personalized charge point recommendations. To improve the accuracy of this information, Bosch supplements its route, topography, and consumption data with the latest updates on weather and traffic flow as well as information on which electrically powered comfort items – such as climate control or seat heating – are currently in use. Cloud-based algorithms calculate the actual range, select a suitable charge spot, and visualize this information in the navigation map. Connected map services for automated driving : Connected map services can play a major part in making mobility safe and convenient. These use swarm data (crowdsourcing) in combination with other information from the infrastructure to create a virtual sensor for use in driver assistance systems. The service provides real-time information about road conditions and risks such as aquaplaning, ice, and snow. This enables automated vehicles to correctly anticipate conditions, adapt their driving behavior accordingly, choose a different route, or ask the driver to take control. Thanks to this service, Bosch is able to improve the availability of driver assistance systems and enable new functions. Driverless parking and maneuvering : With automated valet parking , Bosch has brought the world’s first automated and driverless SAE Level 4 parking function to production models. Intelligent infrastructure guides the vehicle safely through the parking garage to a free parking spot. This improves the parking experience for drivers, helps parking garage operators achieve higher capacity utilization and other benefits, and enables automakers to offer new software-based services to their customers. Based on this technology, Bosch is now bringing the driverless maneuvering of vehicles to the realm of automotive production with automated vehicle maneuvering . Bosch equips automakers’ plants with an intelligent lidar-sensor infrastructure, which it supplements, where required, with Bosch stereo cameras. The driverless maneuvering service boosts efficiency and increases safety: automakers can finally get to grips with challenges such as the tight maneuvering of vehicles, downtimes in production due to absent drivers, accidents or damage caused by collisions, and a lack of information on where vehicles are located in the plant. Efficiency gains for fleet operators : Bosch helps mobility service providers run their fleets more efficiently. Available in three different service levels, RideCare connected rent provides fleet operators with information on the condition of their vehicles. With the end of rental report service module, mobility providers receive an automated report on the vehicle’s condition at the end of the rental period, including the battery level, kilometers driven, and any new damage to the vehicle. Rental car companies benefit from more efficient processes and lower operating costs thanks to reduced vehicle downtime and clear allocation of vehicle damage; end users benefit from greater convenience and transparency. In addition, RideCare connected rent uses the fleet utilization planner to provide information before, during, and after the rental period, including real-time notifications of vehicle condition, critical error messages, and missed service intervals. RideCare connected rent also offers support in planning the efficient charging of electric vehicles through the charging planner . Bosch plans to equip more than two million vehicles with this technology by 2030. Interior sensing : Bosch’s interior monitoring system combines various technologies to enable the reliable detection of vehicle occupants, especially children. Critical situations such as distraction, drowsiness, or an unfastened seat belt can be detected quickly, and the driver warned accordingly. The system is based on the detection of movements and vital signs, which can also be indicators of the vehicle occupants’ state of health. The combination of interior monitoring cameras with the highly sensitive cabin sensing radar – or alternatively with the ultra-wideband technology also used for Perfectly Keyless – enhances and expands the capabilities of the interior sensing system. This increases safety for everyone on the road. Press kit IAA 2023 Eventpage IAA 2023
