On January 5, 2026, Bosch announced that it will join hands with Microsoft to expand its “manufacturing collaborative intelligence” solution and explore innovative technologies that use intelligent artificial intelligence to innovate production methods. The two companies will sign a memorandum of understanding in Las Vegas. Intelligent artificial intelligence can interpret massive amounts of data, make highly autonomous decisions and perform tasks, thereby optimizing production, maintenance, and supply chains. “It makes factory processes more intelligent,” said Tanja Rueckert, board member of Bosch GmbH. The partnership aims to combine Bosch's deep industrial knowledge in production and industrial software with Microsoft's leading IT infrastructure and software technology. The two companies aim to use AI-enabled solutions to make existing production processes more scalable, thereby not only improving plant efficiency, but also reducing the burden on employees. For example, by detecting deviations in production processes early, downtime can be minimized and production costs reduced. One of the first customers of Bosch's “Manufacturing Collaborative Intelligence” was Sick AG, a leading global manufacturer of sensors and sensor solutions for industrial applications. Bosch also announced that it expects sales of software and services to exceed 6 billion euros by the beginning of the next decade, most of which will be based on artificial intelligence. Approximately two-thirds of revenue is expected to come from the mobility business. The company expects sales of its software, sensor technology, high-performance computers, and networking components to double to more than €10 billion by the mid-2030s. Bosch expects to invest more than 2.5 billion euros in the application and development of artificial intelligence by the end of 2027.
