Case Study: Bosch achieves +8% productivity and +54% MTBR with IFS's Poka Connected Worker platform

Poka customer Bosch sets rigorous KPI tracking and builds strong foundation for Enterprise DX

Bosch, a global industrial technology company with 440+ locations and 260 production facilities across automotive, building technology, and consumer goods, needed an enterprise-grade Connected Worker solution that could scale across diverse sites and prove measurable value to secure corporate support and meet both corporate governance and local operational needs.

Bosch piloted Poka at a major power tools plant in Malaysia, rigorously tracking KPIs to build leadership buy-in; the pilot produced a 54% increase in Mean Time Between Repairs and an 8% gain in direct productivity. Those results enabled Bosch to plan a broader rollout across 12 manufacturing divisions and 260 plants while applying best practices for governance, local alignment, and rapid onboarding.
