The client faced challenges in monitoring and maintaining a vast fleet of engines deployed across various industries, including marine, rail, and power generation. Disconnected systems, reliance on manual processes, and limited visibility into real-time engine performance hindered the client’s ability to monitor asset health and perform proactive maintenance. The lack of real-time data and predictive maintenance capabilities led to unexpected downtimes, increased operational costs, and inefficient resource utilization.

In an era where reliability and efficiency are paramount, power systems manufacturers face growing challenges in meeting the demands of a highly competitive market. Disconnected systems, limited access to real-time engine data, and reliance on manual processes create significant barriers to ensuring optimal engine performance and reducing downtime. Any efforts to correct this problem is met with new challenges like fragmented data systems, manual tracking processes, and limited visibility into engine performance, leading to inefficiencies and elevated operational expenses.
Our client, a global leader in power systems, struggled with fragmented and manual processes, which made consolidating engine performance data a time-consuming and error-prone task. This lack of centralized visibility hindered their ability to optimize operations, deliver proactive maintenance, and meet evolving customer expectations for reliability and performance. With a network of over 3000 engines deployed across critical sectors such as aviation, rail, marine, and power generation, the client needed a transformative solution to integrate engine data, enable predictive maintenance, and streamline operations.
With extensive domain expertise and a tech-first approach, Bosch SDS identified the client’s key challenge—consolidating fragmented engine data across systems into a unified, actionable platform. The solution leveraged the capabilities of Microsoft Azure to create a robust IoT ecosystem, designed to serve as the single source of truth for all engine-related information.
Bosch SDS implemented The Go! Manage platform that utilizes a microservices architecture to ensure scalability, modularity, and seamless integration with existing LOB applications. This integration enabled seamless data flow from engines to the cloud, facilitating immediate insights into engine health and performance. Our key initiatives included:
The Go! Manage platform optimized data frequency, transitioning from quarterly or annual reporting to real-time updates. Advanced modules tailored to the client’s needs enabled intuitive dashboards, actionable insights, and enhanced dealership network management, delivering consistently high performance even during peak usage periods. Key outcomes of the deployment include:l scalability. The automation of CIC workflows allowed the client to focus on delivering superior customer experiences. The key outcomes were:
Reduction in operational costs through automation and data integration
Real-time engine health monitoring to reduce downtime and costs.
Scalable architecture supporting 3000+ engines globally
Role-based dashboards for enhanced operational visibility and decision-making
Centralized data repository for unified engine information
Faster reporting with real-time data access and analysis
Seamless integration with multiple LOB applications via Azure IoT
High performance even at peak usage, supported by Azure
Bosch SDS brought its industry expertise and strong partnership with Microsoft to deliver a solution that went beyond addressing immediate challenges to paving the way for long-term operational excellence. By deploying Azure Cloud for secure, scalable data storage and IoT connectivity for real-time engine monitoring, Bosch SDS ensured the client’s operations were transformed into a scalable, cloud-powered ecosystem, enabling smarter decisions and significant operational improvements. Our solution not only streamlined the client’s operational processes but also laid the foundation for future scalability, delivering substantial business value and enhancing their overall profitability and market position.
