Their cooperation is expected to help Siemens gain deeper insights into the special requirements of the home appliance product lifecycle process. The partnership should help both companies drive their respective strategies in Industry 4.0, and the IIoT. BSH is expanding its offering of connected home appliances and aims to integrate its products into smart home environments. Siemens could also benefit by aligning with leading customers to validate its approach in this industry.

BSH is pursuing a holistic digitalisation approach that will help to accomplish a fully integrated set of PLM processes to support its Industry 4.0 vision. Siemens and its PLM software technology will continue to play a significant role in this transformation.
