ThingWorx and Bosch IoT Suite technology stack enables integration of smart, connected
products with cross-sector enterprise processes
Stuttgart, November17, 2015 - PTC® (NASDAQ:PTC) and Bosch Software Innovations today
announced a technology alliance to facilitate the integration of the ThingWorx® Platform and
the Bosch IoT Suite. The new Bosch IoT Suite M2M Connector for ThingWorx allows for
technical interplay between the two platforms and is now available on the ThingWorx
Marketplace. The technology stack enables IoT developers to connect and control
heterogeneous devices and systems, cost-effectively and rapidly develop IoT applications for
complex IT landscapes, and easily and quickly adjust IoT solutions to the specific needs of
individual companies and sectors.
PTC and Bosch Software Innovations successfully tested the integrated technology stack in the
Industrial Internet Consortium Track & Trace Testbed by wirelessly connecting tightening tools
to operate seamlessly together on the factory floor. The Track & Trace application permits the
monitoring of the status of all devices on the fly. The data collected is used to optimize
production processes and tool maintenance. Irregularities or impending failures are detected
immediately and the faulty device can be replaced before downtime can occur.
The Track & Trace Testbed provides an excellent example of complex production landscapes
such as those in the automotive, aerospace and mechanical and plant engineering sectors,
which are made up of heterogeneous machines, devices and process landscapes that must be
adjusted to work together. When combined, the ThingWorx and Bosch Software Innovations
technology provides IoT developers the exact flexibility needed for connecting heterogeneous
equipment and enterprise processes.
In contrast to the two traditional options – standard software and individual development – the
joint technology offering is precise and cost effective. The Device Management component
(M2M) from the Bosch IoT Suite provides a reliable connection and control of devices, while
operating a secure, flexible and transparent infrastructure for distributed devices. Vorto, an
open source tool initiated by Bosch Software Innovations and developed by Eclipse IoT, enables

2. the creation and management of information models for integration into different platforms.
The ThingWorx® IoT application development platform enables rapid development of drag-and-
drop business applications. A comprehensive security concept is designed to protect
applications against unauthorized access.
Quotes:
Dr.-Ing. Rainer Kallenbach, CEO, Bosch Software Innovations: "Building on the long-standing
relationship between PTC and Bosch, this alliance has the potential to significantly lower the
entry barrier for customers into the IoT. This alliance combines deep know-how in Product and
Service Lifecycle Management, leading IoT software products and in-depth experience
connecting and managing heterogeneous asset landscapes. The heterogeneous environments
we normally encounter in the IoT require a new, very open approach. The ideal foundation for
this is the open Vorto standard for IoT interface definitions, backed by Eclipse, the leading Open
Source community.”
Jim Heppelmann, President and CEO, PTC: "Our alliance with Bosch Software Innovations is a
perfect strategic fit for both companies. We have combined the world's best technologies to
redefine the way daily work gets done and send a strong signal to the market. It has never been
so easy for companies to enter into the IoT business. This new technology stack will decisively
influence and optimize business processes, even for companies with mature, complex
environments."
Rob Gremley, President Technology Platform Group, PTC: "ThingWorx offers an easy-to-use
interface with simple operating functions like drag-and-drop. This facilitates cross-departmental
development of applications, even in complex environments, without the
need for advanced IoT Engineers. Once the systemand process complexity has been
captured with the Bosch Software Innovations IoT platform, ThingWorx removes the last hurdle
into the smart, connected world."
