With its TRACI solution, Bosch brings agricultural and construction machinery into the Internet of Things (IoT). This innovative connectivity solution localizes and seamlessly monitors vehicles, machines as well as accessories and special equipment (referred to as “asset tracing”). This makes it possible to optimize processes and reduce downtimes. With a full package comprising hardware, software and services, TRACI gives companies in the construction and agricultural sectors uncomplicated access to digitalization.

TRACI avails of a variety of basic functions for seamless connectivity and localization of linked devices. Thanks to straightforward integration, there are practically no limits to the areas of application to be tapped by TRACI. Over the course of the day, accessories, agricultural and construction machinery and vehicles are connected to the local network from where the data are sent directly to the cloud infrastructure and can be retrieved by a desktop or mobile device.

TRACI can be individually tailored to the requirements by Bosch depending on the respective task at hand. For example, upgrades and extras for particular tasks such as TrackMyTools, geo-fencing or anti-theft warnings can be activated on request. The software can also be adapted individually, a feature which makes TRACI particularly attractive for third-party suppliers.
