Bosch Software and Digital Solutions (Bosch SDS) and Dassault Systèmes have partnered to accelerate AI-led manufacturing transformation in India, with their combined capabilities already being deployed at a leading electric vehicle manufacturer.
The collaboration connects product engineering, manufacturing operations and industrial value chains through artificial intelligence, digital technologies and real-time operational intelligence.
AI and Digital Manufacturing Converge
Dassault Systèmes brings expertise in Virtual Twin Experiences, Product Lifecycle Management, Digital Manufacturing and Manufacturing Operations Management. Bosch SDS contributes contextualised data products, energy optimisation, IT and OT integration and machine-level intelligence.
The first joint engagement uses Dassault Systèmes' DELMIA Apriso Manufacturing Execution System alongside Bosch SDS manufacturing transformation capabilities, targeting improvements in production efficiency, quality and digital traceability.
From Smart Factories to Agentic AI
The partnership covers Industrial AI, Agentic AI orchestration, Digital Thread, energy management, smart factories and IT-OT convergence. Bosch SDS's Cognitive Factory platform will also support the transformation.
Bosch SDS will serve as a consulting and system-integration partner to Dassault Systèmes, developing solutions spanning AI, Digital Thread and AI-enabled Digital Product Passports.
Targeting India's Industrial Base
The companies plan to address industries including automotive, electronics, batteries, semiconductors, industrial machinery and consumer durables, with potential expansion into heavy engineering and process industries.
The collaboration reflects a broader manufacturing shift from isolated digitisation initiatives toward connected systems that link engineering data, shop-floor operations and AI-driven decision-making.
Market Outlook
India's large engineering and manufacturing base provides a significant market for integrated industrial AI solutions. By combining digital twins, contextualised industrial data and AI-enabled operations, the partnership is positioned to help manufacturers move toward more connected and intelligent production environments.
