Robert Bosch GmbH and software developer SAP SE have agreed to work together on internet-connected systems for industrial equipment, tools, vehicles and other devices.
The partnership will combine Bosch's platform and SAP's back-end software to monitor and control production processes for Bosch customers. SAP’s real-time Hana data-analysis software will run on Bosch’s cloud-computing system.
The so-called Internet-of-Things (IoT) system will help lower costs and improve quality by tracking and controlling equipment more precisely, according to the German companies. One example: The technology allows assembly workers improve their efficiency by remotely selecting the torque for each screwdriver's task. SAP also can evaluate new applications for its software for Bosch’s automotive and industrial customers.
By 2020, some 21 billion IoT devices will be in use worldwide, up from fewer than 5 billion last year, research firm Gartner Inc. has estimated. Bosch expects its own "connected industry" activities to deliver €1 billion ($1.1 billion) in savings by 2020 and to generate an additional €1 billion in sales.

Mustang Changes for 2018
On Tuesday Ford unveiled—using the social media channels of actor Dwayne Johnson (this has got to unnerve some of the auto buff book editors)—the 2018 Mustang, which has undergone some modifications: under the hood (the 3.7-liter V6 is giving way to a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four, and a 10-speed automatic is available), on the dash (a 12-inch, all-digital LCD screen is available for the dashboard), at the tires (12 wheel choices), on the chassis (MagneRide damper technology is being offered with the Mustang Performance Package), and on the exterior (three new paint colors). And while on the subject of the exterior, there are some notable changes—a lower, remodeled hood, repositioned hood vents, new upper and lower front grilles, LED front lights, revised LED taillamps, new rear bumper and fascia.
