Complete solutions to meet customer needs

Increasing connectivity over the Internet as a driver of innovation The growing importance of connectivity can be seen in all of our business sectors. Internet-enabled products and services are one of the focal points of the company‘s future business. Bosch will draw on its hardware know-how and broad technological expertise

to create connected solutions for mobility, manufacturing, energy systems and buildings. The company is one of the world’s leading suppliers of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) for the automotive and consumer electronics markets, producing more than 1 billion annually. One out of every two smartphones uses a Bosch MEMS sensor. MEMS serve as an important building block for connectivity and enable a new form of technical solutions – such as in automated driving or the smart home. Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions, a new subsidiary launched in late 2013, aims to develop new Internet of Things solutions focusing in the area of smart homes, logistics and transport. Meanwhile, Bosch Software Innovations announced a strategic business relationship with HCL Technologies to accelerate delivery of scalable software solutions and reduce time-to-market across multiple industries.

Dremel power tools

To optimally leverage its broad portfolio of products, Bosch has increased its focus on the residential and manufacturing vertical markets, bundling multiple Bosch products into complete solutions for customers. In the residential market, Bosch provides home developers a core offering of appliances, domestic hot water

Management Report systems, and heating and cooling systems to help new residential developments minimize the impact on the utility infrastructure. That offering can be complemented by other Bosch technologies such as electric vehicle charging stations, energy-storage solutions, security and communication systems, and smart home automation systems. In the manufacturing vertical market, Bosch offerings are in three areas: manufacturing technology, building technology and dealer solutions. Bosch has experienced increasing success with automotive and non-automotive manufacturing customers alike as they recognize the comprehensive, high-quality solution sets Bosch can bring to a wide variety of projects. Further developing industry relationships and promoting understanding of Bosch’s competencies, particularly in energy efficiency, Bosch is actively working with groups such as the Suppliers Partnership for the Environment, the Association of Energy Engineers and the World Energy Engineers Congress.

Bosch Connected Devices and Solutions

Few companies match Bosch’s depth and breadth of technological expertise. Guided by our strategic imperative “Invented for life,” we will build on our core strengths to introduce innovative products, gain new market share and enter new market segments, reinforce our regional footprint, strengthen alliances, and remain focused on sustainability and connectivity. This strategic approach will help us achieve our targets, grow in all business sectors and remain one of the world’s leading suppliers of technology and services. Bosch expects global economic growth of 2.8 percent for 2014, and global sales to grow between 3 and 5 percent. With anticipated U.S. gross domestic product growth of 2.3 percent, we expect the North American region to yield close to double-digit growth in 2014.

Research and Development

Innovation is a part of Bosch’s DNA. Worldwide in 2013, the company invested $6 billion in R&D, with nearly half of that expenditure focused on technologies that conserve resources and protect the environment. In 2013, Bosch globally applied for nearly 5,000 patents – an average of 20 patents per working day. More than 2,000 Bosch associates are dedicated to R&D in the region.

Since 1999, the Bosch Research and Technology Center North America has focused on topics including application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology; energy conversion and energy storage technologies, modeling simulation and controls; wireless and Internet technologies; algorithms for robotics, autonomous systems and data mining; and user-interaction technologies. These areas are under exploration by Bosch research engineers in close collaboration with partners at leading U.S. universities, industry partners and other worldwide Bosch units. In 2013, the Bosch Energy Research Network (BERN) awarded seven new, two-year grants totaling $885,000 to researchers from five universities. BERN is an eight-year program to promote energy research and education, build relationships with top

U.S. university faculty researching energy topics and attract the best engineering talent to Bosch. Since its inception in 2010, BERN has awarded 14 two-year grants totaling $3 million and supported more than 60 student internships at various Bosch locations in the U.S. Bosch received a nearly $4 million, three-year U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) grant to develop advanced battery management and control software to improve the capacity, safety and charge rate of electric vehicle batteries. The goal of the project is to maximize battery performance to achieve a 30 percent increase in available capacity while reducing manufacturing costs by 25 percent.

Society

Bosch sponsors 13 FIRST® Robotics teams in the U.S., providing financial support and mentoring to more than 500 students in four states. Pictured: The Bosch-sponsored Plymouth-Canton (Michigan) FIRST Robotics Team 862 finished in the top four at the FIRST world championship in 2013.

Bosch continues its efforts to advance STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education at all levels. The Bosch Community Fund (BCF), a U.S.-based foundation that awards grants to various 501(c)(3) organizations, is one primary avenue of STEM support. In Charlotte, North Carolina, BCF supported a summer STEMersion program to help local teachers connect science and math curriculums to industry and jobs. At the U.S. Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon, Bosch sponsored six university teams, providing funding and products as they competed in a sustainable home-building contest. At the event, BCF granted $200,000 to the Discovery Science Center to help educate students, assist teachers and increase public understanding of science, math and technology through interactive exhibits and programs focusing on sustainability.

Bosch’s Packaging Technology division collaborated with the State of Wisconsin and Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College to customize an apprenticeship program. The electro-mechanic apprenticeship is the first of its kind in the state and is now considered a new trade in Wisconsin. At the apprenticeship’s end, the participant receives an associate’s degree in technical studies, a technical diploma and a State of Wisconsin Certificate of Apprenticeship, commonly known as a journeyman card. BCF worked in conjunction with 13 Bosch site communities to provide charitable gifts totaling more than $800,000 in 2013. This included not only support of STEM, but environmental initiatives such as a composting project in Charleston County (South Carolina) schools and conservation benchmarking for the One D Scorecard in Detroit.
