2 Content 1. The Bosch Group 2. Challenges and Motivation 3. How we simplify collaboration for engineers 4. How it works 5. How does it look like - live demo 6. Further implementations based on the linking technology CONWEAVER 2

3 Bosch is more than you think Business Sectors and Divisions Our technology improves the lives of millions of people. Every day. Worldwide. Mobility Industrial Technology Solutions Energy and Building Technology Consumer Goods 3

4 Content 1. The Bosch Group 2. Challenges and Motivation 3. How we simplify collaboration for engineers 4. How it works 5. How does it look like - live demo 6. Further implementations based on the linking technology CONWEAVER 4

5 Challenges Highest product variety and quality of services Processes of a individual and series production are different. How to achieve harmonization of: Lean and agile processes and Machinery Applications Standardization Sensortec - MEMS 1 units per year

6 Challenges Unconnected IT infrastructure Maintenance of engineering information is highly optimized and engineers their domains. And it s difficult to get information from other engineering domains about associations of components and documents stored in several systems about collaboration partners 6

7 Motivation and Strategy Standardized PLM Architecture Our strategy: Engineering product life cycle management is the superordinate strategic plan at Bosch to optimize PLM processes, methods and systems in engineering and to ensure a standardized PLM architecture for process support. Product Data in several IT System s CO$T$ SPEED Outflow of knowledge Disappearing TOOLS complexity increasing 7

8 Content 1. The Bosch Group 2. Challenges and Motivation 3. How we simplify collaboration for engineers 4. How it works 5. How does it look like - live demo. 6. Further implementations based on the linking technology CONWEAVER 8

9 How we simplify collaboration for engineers Our target group End-users like appealing IT applications. We need something: with a modern look & feel easy-to-use and fast reproducible and reliable openness No trainings Generation Y experienced end-users 9

10 How we simplify collaboration for engineers One view for engineering information Meta data information from several systems are linked to an engineering digital brain. Now it s easy to: get quick access of information visualize linked product information improve traceability 10

11 How we simplify collaboration for engineers Networking engineering partners Engineers of different domains are working together at one Bosch product. Now it s easy to: visualize collaboration partners communicate understand each other based on the PROJECT OEM REQUIREMENTS REQUIREMENTS Verification End-User ACCEPTANCE TEST TEST integrated artefact glossary DESIGN SIMULATION IMPLEMENTATION SAMPLES 11

12 Content 1. The Bosch Group 2. Challenges and Motivation 3. How we simplify collaboration for engineers 4. How it works 5. How does it look like - live demo 6. Further implementations based on the linking technology CONWEAVER 12

13 How it works A simple search box is enough In which of the underlying software systems the information is stored is getting less important. How to get your information enter all you know in simple text box well-known facet filters Display related information in details view 13

14 How it works Related product information in one application Association knowledge is now visible across systems based on association rules. How to get related information: All information about a component in one view End-user can easily create links across systems. 14

15 How it works eplm Architecture Loose coupling between native systems and search engine. How systems interact Background crawler are reading meta data from systems Meta data is cached in search engine T-Systems CONWEAVER 15
