Case Study: Bosch achieves massive IoT scale and real-time analytics with MongoDB

Bosch Leads Charge into Internet of Things

Bosch, a global engineering conglomerate with nearly 300,000 employees, set out to move from isolated devices to connected systems across automotive, manufacturing, and smart home domains. The company faced the challenge of collecting, aggregating, and analyzing massive volumes of varied, high-velocity IoT data in near real time—limits of rigid RDBMS schemas hindered agility, scaling, and rapid innovation.

Bosch standardized on MongoDB’s flexible document model to manage structured, semi-structured, and unstructured device data, attach rich metadata, evolve schemas easily, and combine streams and relational data for unified analytics. The result: rapid deployment from pilot to production, scaled to millions of devices and sensors, faster anomaly detection and response, and new services and business models that were not possible with traditional databases.
