Vijay Ratnaparkhe, managing director, and president, Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions said, “Climate risk is pertinent irrespective of where you are located. When mostly all aspects of daily life are connected and compatible, it only makes sense to have an accurate indicator of environmental quality levels to devise the best living and working conditions.” Soumitra Bhattacharya, president, Bosch Group India, and managing director, Bosch Limited added that the company will invest over Rs. 900 crores in India for the financial year 2017-18.

It is connected directly to the vehicle’s battery and does not rely on emission norms and therefore all vehicles under BS-II, BS-III and BS-IV can also reap the benefit of this solution. In addition to the device, Bosch provides external interfaces, such as the panic button and fuel sensor to offer an integrated connected solution. Bosch India now provides answers pertaining to questions relating to a car’s health, safety and comfort of passengers at the tip of one’s finger.

Solutions from the Group can help optimize the utilization of resources such as water, electricity, fertilizers, crop-protection to reduce post-harvest losses in the food supply chain. Given the constraint on the size of operational land holdings of the farmer, the solutions allow scalability of deployment towards better results, optimize operational costs and in-turn enhance their livelihoods. IoT Bosch is turning things into partners, and its worldwide leadership in Microelectromechanical Sensors (MEMS) is aiding this cause. The retail industry, in particular, is benefitting from the personalization of IoT based on insights gained from studying the behavior and preferences of users. It enables the personalization of products/services, enhancement of existing offerings, and the deployment of virtual personal assistants.
