Bosch Rexroth’s Strategic Program to Stay Ahead of Technological Change
What does it mean to be a Mobile Solutions Partner? Especially in a time where the rapid pace of technological change feels commonplace. In this episode of Evolution In Controls, we explore Bosch Rexroth’s ‘Mobile Solutions Partner’ program (MSP) and how it fits into its strategy of maintaining the edge of technological evolution. Joining Tim this week are two of Bosch Rexroth’s finest: Brad Bardall, Bosch Rexroth’s Regional Vice President of Sales for Mobile Applications, and Gunther Nunweiler, Vice President Sales, Mobile Hydraulics Bosch Rexroth USA. Together the two bring a combined 62 years of experience in the industry, providing knowledgeable perspectives necessary when discussing the topics today.
Changes in technology have proven to make the design process for new products slower and more costly. Pairing that with a scarce supply of experienced and knowledgeable workers the industry is currently seeing, the impact on cost and time is compounded to a point many may consider unacceptable.
In comes the Mobile Solutions Partner, a program driven by the complete transformation of mobile machines seen over the past 10+ years. This transformation revolves around the unprecedented increase in the electronification and electrification of mobile machines.
Bosch Rexroth and Morrell Group have been partners for years. Gunther even mentions working directly with Morrell for 30+ years of his 37 at Bosch Rexroth. The MSP is the next step in growing our relationship, bringing us closer, serving our mobile customers with a complete platform, and providing complete solutions. By working with us, Bosch Rexroth can look at the product portfolio, applications, hardware, and software and create solutions for specific customer needs.
The Mobile Solutions Partner targets next-generation technologies demanded by the market, looking to create complete solutions and integrate them with next-gen products in a way that empowers the customer.
But how does an MSP do this? How can it help an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) adopt new technology while managing their product engineering process? How can an OEM keep up with new product advancements while reacting to changing customer requirements in the shifting competitive landscape? Can an OEM turn to an MSP to help answer questions they lack time and people?
