Case Study - Bosch

Assembly manufacturers, especially in automotive and electronics, often run multiple factories that produce subcomponents assembled later. While each factory drives its own problem-solving efforts, they rarely adjust parameters based on upstream production conditions.

Bosch asked Ethon to implement AI-assisted root cause analysis at its Bühl and Blaichach factories to tackle occurring cross-factory root causes.

Ethon was implemented at Bosch’s Bühl and Blaichach factories, with support from Corporate Research and the local engineering teams. Using Ethon, the Bosch team identified upstream root causes of product test failures. It also enabled cross-factory traceability, transparency, and custom analyses on a single source of truth.

Cross-plant visibility: Enhanced cross-plant visibility and problem-solving efficiency.

Significant savings: Significant cost and CO2 savings by reduction of scrap, rework, and waste.

Award winning technology: Ethon earned the 2024 OpenBosch Award for the impact on quality and operational efficiency.
