  • New smart home app provides central control point for all connected devices
  • Bosch developing software and solutions for the city of tomorrow
  • Connected mobility offers improved safety, convenience, and efficiency

At CES 2016, Bosch will present connected technology and services at two stands. At the Smart Home Marketplace, Sands Expo (stand #71517), where it will showcase the next generation of sensors for consumer electronics, as well as technology for the smart home and smart cities. In the North Hall, the space devoted to automakers, Bosch is offering a look at its latest developments in connected mobility (stand #2302).

Sensor technology: innovations and sample applications
Sands Expo

Bosch MEMS sensors can be found in vehicles, smartphones, games consoles, and tablets, as well as in countless other devices. At CES, Bosch is premiering a number of new, intelligent sensors.

Intelligent acceleration sensors: The first acceleration sensors to feature integrated intelligence and be compatible with Android while saving energy.

High-performance yaw-rate sensors: Two new triaxial Bosch yaw-rate sensors were developed especially for gaming, augmented reality, virtual reality, and optical image stabilisation. They offer low operating costs, low noise, high image stability and lowest power consumption of any discrete yaw-rate sensors in the market. 

Bosch Ambient Sensor: Bosch’s Ambient Sensor is a smart sensor that measures, analyses and communicates environmental conditions in buildings. These conditions include air quality, lighting conditions, and noise levels.

XDK sensor platform for developing new IoT solutions: Companies can use the XDK to develop their own IoT solutions. It features a range of components including an acceleration sensor, a yaw-rate sensor, a magnetometer, and sensors to measure atmospheric pressure, air temperature and humidity, noise levels, and digital light. 

Smart homes: visitors get a peek inside the home of the future
Sands Expo

The Bosch smart-home system allows users to control all the home’s connected devices using a single smartphone or tablet app. The first products for the connected home that Bosch is presenting at CES include the Bosch smart-home controller, smart thermostats, door and window contacts, and the “Hue” lighting solutions by its partner Philips. Other products are already in the pipeline

Bosch is presenting a comprehensive portfolio of connected household appliances, as well as the Bosch Indego Connect, which mows the lawn when the conditions are just right. 

Smart cities: software and parking solutions for the city of tomorrow
Sands Expo

Bosch IoT Suite: Bosch’s IoT Suite is a software platform for interconnecting a city’s various applications, services, municipal authorities, and companies. At CES, Bosch is presenting visualised scenarios to demonstrate how the IoT Suite can connect power grids, lighting systems, traffic infrastructure, and buildings, helping to improve cities’ economic and energy efficiency.

Bosch is showcasing a range of connected parking solutions, including active parking lot management, community-based parking and fully automated parking.

Connected mobility: more safety, convenience, and efficiency

Touchscreen with haptic feedback: In advance of the show, Bosch received a CES 2016 Innovation Award in the In-Vehicle Audio/Video category for its haptic touchscreen.

Connected Horizon: The connected horizon provides dynamic data relating to traffic jams, accidents and mobile construction sites. This solution enables drivers to travel more safely and with an even better picture of the road ahead.

Bosch mySPIN integrates the smartphone into the vehicle, ensuring safe in-car use. This means drivers can continue to use their favourite apps safely, both for iOS and Android smartphones.

Wrong-way driver alert: Bosch is developing a new cloud-based solution designed to provide a warning if a driver is travelling the wrong way within ten seconds.

Highway pilot: The highway pilot takes over driving on motorways. Bosch is already testing this technology on public roads in the U.S., Germany, and Japan, so the highway pilot could be ready for mass production by 2020.

Simply.Connected.
