Maximo Visual Inspection

Managing large-scale, business-critical assets demands both seamless remote and on-site inspections. When handling thousands of assets, automation and process optimization become vital. IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS) empowers technicians to conduct inspections directly from the field using mobile devices, enhancing real-time data accuracy while eliminating manual paperwork.

IBM Maximo Visual Inspection (MVI) puts the power of computer vision AI into the hands of your quality control and inspection teams. It makes computer vision, deep learning, and automation accessible to technicians through an intuitive toolset for labelling, training, and deploying AI vision models. Simply train your model using the drag-and-drop visual interface or import a custom model, then activate it on mobile or edge devices. What’s changed is what happens after a defect is detected: MVI now feeds directly into Maximo Monitor for sensor confirmation, watsonx and MAS Predict for root-cause and priority decisioning, and Maximo Manage for automated work order generation turning a visual detection into a dispatched, tracked action without manual handoff.

Work Safety

Put compliance at the center of safety to make it easier to identify and eliminate hazards in the work environment. Maximo Safety also helps you adhere to government and medical guidelines for your workplace. With the combination of advanced analytics and near real-time access to data from various devices, you can holistically manage both the facility and your workers’ health and safety.

Key features of Maximo Application Suite

• Leverage market-leading EAM, mobility, add-ons and industry models
• Enhance reliability with AI-powered monitoring, inspection and predictive maintenance
• Only pay for what you actually use with simplified licensing
• Use multicloud deployment for greater flexibility

The IBM Maximo Visual Inspection Edge suite interacts with IBM Maximo Visual Inspection (MVI) to deploy AI vision models to edge devices at scale. MVI Edge can be connected to multiple cameras including specialized high resolution cameras, drones, and cameras on vehicles. The IBM Maximo Visual Inspection Edge dashboard provides users the functionality to manage image analysis and view real-time inspections across multiple facilities or plants around the world. In addition, users can create inspection rules for defect detection. For businesses wanting to leverage existing or specialty cameras, IBM Maximo Visual Inspection Edge provides the solution for seamless integration. This containerized service runs on a local server within a facility or manufacturing plant and provides automated inference execution of models developed with IBM Maximo Visual Inspection.

IBM Maximo Visual Inspection Mobile is a native iOS/iPadOS mobile app designed to enhance the capabilities of IBM Maximo Visual Inspection by rapidly scaling visual inspections to achieve lightning-fast ROI. Simply download MVI Mobile from the AppStore to run automated visual inspections at fixed locations or in the field. MVI Mobile delivers agility with point-and-click ease through the footprint of a mobile app while providing real-time, AI-powered inspection results. In a matter of hours, you can collect images from the mobile device to train complex computer vision models and deploy on the device to perform inferencing, dramatically improving production quality inspection and speed to detect defects and rework assets in the field.

For organizations extending inspection beyond internal technicians, PragmaField carries the same MVI defect images and inspection results out to field crews and vendor technicians the moment a work order is raised not just to employees with MAS licenses.

MVI in the MAS AI Closed Loop: See, Listen, Think, Act

MVI no longer operates as an isolated inspection tool it's the entry point into a closed loop that spans IBM MAS.
