What is Bosch Semantic Stack?

Bosch Semantic Stack is a software stack that transforms how companies—​especially manufacturers, or machine and plant builders and operators—​work with their data.

Instead of struggling with scattered, inconsistent information across multiple systems, you get a unified, semantically-structured foundation that makes your data truly usable. Bosch Semantic Stack forms the basis for comprehensive digitalization of production and logistics by gradually creating data homogeneity and interoperability.

The problem we solve

Many manufacturing companies face what we call the Data Growth Paradox--the assumption that more data and more systems automatically lead to better business outcomes. Instead, companies encounter five core challenges:

  • Format & meaning inconsistencies
    Data is integrated quickly, but lacks validation, consistency, and clarity across systems.

  • Data silos
    Product data is scattered across numerous systems and locations, making unified views impossible.

  • Point-to-point integration
    Each new use case requires fragile, costly integrations with lack of transparency leading to redundancy.

  • Data governance as a bottleneck
    Teams need fast access to relevant data, but IT, compliance, and unclear source information slow down processes.

  • Innovation vs. regulation
    Pressure to innovate collides with increasing regulatory complexity, creating legal burden that blocks progress.

As a consequence, organizations face higher costs, low data quality, and slow processes—​teams spend more time fixing data issues than gaining the necessary insights to resolve their tasks or drive innovation.

Our approach: a four-layer semantic architecture

Bosch Semantic Stack solves these challenges through a structured four-layer approach that transforms raw product lifecycle data into actionable insights:

1. Semantic Data Models Layer

Establishes a shared data understanding across your organization. Create semantic data models that describe not just what your data is, but what it means in your business context, eliminating ambiguity through standardized domain semantics.

This layer contains:

Aspect Model Editor

Software Development Kits

2. Semantic Data Layer

Builds a semantic data foundation by integrating and harmonizing fragmented data automatically. This unified data management layer ensures consistency across systems and eliminates the need for costly point-to-point integrations.

This layer contains:

Data Browser

Data Onboarding

Aspect Model Catalog

Semantic Data Lakehouse

3. Digital Twins and Data Products Layer

Creates a holistic, product-centric view by linking data to your products across their entire lifecycle—​from engineering and production through operations and recycling. Digital twins provide centralized management and full visibility into product-related operations, enabling you to track a product’s data journey from design through operation and beyond.

This layer contains:

Digital Twin Registry

Aspect on Demand

4. Solutions Layer

Provides actionable insights through ready-to-use applications, AI agents, and customized solutions. Leverage your semantic data foundation for solutions that deliver business value: to gain insights that reduce costs and accelerate decision-making.

This layer contains:

Battery Passport

Product Explorer

Talk to Your Data

Standards-based interoperability

Bosch Semantic Stack is built on industry standards to ensure seamless interoperability across manufacturing ecosystems:

This standards-based approach means your data can integrate seamlessly with partners, suppliers, and industry ecosystems without vendor lock-in.

Why choose Bosch?

Unlike vendors who offer either process knowledge or software expertise, Bosch combines both:

  • 130+ years of manufacturing experience
    We understand your challenges because we’ve solved them ourselves.

  • Proven in real factories
    Our solutions are battle-tested in Bosch’s own operations.

  • Industry standards leadership
    We help shape standards such as AAS or SAMM, and contribute to ecosystems like Catena-X.
