Stuttgart/Berlin, 27. September 2021 – Bosch Connected Industry and Capgemini are set to continue their successful strategic collaboration in the coming years. Together they will focus on the consistent expansion of Bosch Connected Industry's Nexeed Industrial Application System and strengthen client activities. The collaboration between two leading providers of Industry 4.0 software and services will create a broad range of offerings, from which industrial companies in particular will benefit in the digitization and sustainability of their production plants. Together with our strategic partner Capgemini, we are now enabling even more customers to tap into the potential of Nexeed and deploy it in a way that fits their needs....Sven Hamann, CEO of Bosch Connected Industry Leveraging the potential of Industry 4.0 even more effectively The Nexeed Industrial Application System offers a comprehensive portfolio of solutions for the digital factory - from the integration of existing plants and intelligent maintenance solutions to the networking of complete factories. "The solutions from the Nexeed Industrial Application System are already being used successfully in more than half of the approximately 240 Bosch plants worldwide, and the trend is rising," says Sven Hamann, CEO of Bosch Connected Industry. The business unit is also seeing strong demand externally: "More than 100 international clients are already using our software and services in manufacturing and intralogistics. Together with our strategic partner Capgemini, we are now enabling even more customers to tap into the potential of Nexeed and deploy it in a way that fits their needs. We are looking forward to the extended collaboration with Capgemini in order to bring more benefits to our clients," continues Hamann. Capgemini is one of the world's leading service providers in the field of digital manufacturing. The company’s services range from transformation consulting and development to the implementation and operation of production-critical systems. "Capgemini has developed a compelling offering for the digitalization of core industrial processes with its Intelligent Industry approach that aims to enable the convergence between the digital and the physical worlds. In collaboration with Bosch Connected Industry, we contribute our deep market and technical expertise as well as our innovative and sustainable solutions. Our combined capabilities will enable us to evolve the Nexeed Industrial Application System into one of the leading digitalization offerings for industrial companies and to support the digitalization as well as sustainability targets of our joint clients," comments Jochen Bechtold, Head of Manufacturing Industries at Capgemini in Germany. Efficient solution for the digital factory The benefits of digitizing industrial processes have been very evident during the restrictions caused by COVID-19. Maintenance and commissioning of machines and plants remotely, increased transparency of the flow of materials and the safeguarding of logistics chains could often be achieved quickly thanks to intelligent software. However, many existing plants have still not entered the digital age. This is where Bosch Connected Industry comes in: with the combination of many years of experience, lean principles and the Nexeed Industrial Application to effectively digitize manufacturing. Through their long-term strategic cooperation Bosch Connected Industry and Capgemini want to accelerate the transformation towards intelligent manufacturing and sustainable production. To enable this, the Nexeed Industrial Application System, as an important component of production planning and control, will be continuously evolved.
