Introduction

The Smart Operations Toolkit (SOT) is a holistic software solution for manufacturing and logistics developed by Bosch Connected Industry. SOT integrates different areas of industrial operations, such as Shopfloor Management, Product and Quality, Machine and Equipment, Intralogistics, and Execution, into a centralized software solution. SOT collects data from different sources within a manufacturing environment, such as machines, sensors, and production lines, and provides real-time monitoring, analysis, and visualization of this data. It is a powerful tool for managing, optimizing, and bringing more transparency to industrial processes.

For more information about SOT, please refer to our website: https://www.bosch-connected-industry.com/de/en

This manual enables operators to understand the architecture of SOT, its different components, the artifacts delivered by Bosch Connected Industry, and finally, how SOT can be deployed and successfully operated.

It is expected that the reader of this manual has a good understanding and knowledge of web applications, microservice architectures, databases, and DevOps technologies (specially Kubernetes and Helm).

If you would like to provide feedback on the manual, e.g. suggestions or improvements, please reach out to us at nexeed.helpdesk@de.bosch.com.
