13 part series
The definitive 12-part series on IBM Maximo Visual Inspection. From computer vision fundamentals and model building to mobile, edge, and drone deployment, enterprise governance, REST API reference, and troubleshooting.
What IBM Maximo Visual Inspection is, why computer vision is transforming asset inspection, and how MVI fits into the MAS ecosystem. Real use cases with real numbers.
How computer vision works for asset inspection without the PhD. Classification, detection, segmentation explained. No-code model building in MVI demystified.
Everything you need to plan MVI infrastructure. Five deployment options (SaaS, on-prem, Azure, client-managed), NVIDIA GPU requirements, storage sizing, and AppPoint licensing explained.
Complete MVI installation walkthrough. Prerequisites checklist, MAS 9.0/9.1 changes, operator deployment, GPU configuration gotchas, verification, and your first 30-minute project.
The complete MVI model-building workflow. Data collection strategies, image labeling best practices, training configuration, accuracy metrics interpretation, and iterative improvement.
Get your MVI model out of the lab and into the field. Inference pipelines, confidence threshold tuning, false positive management, A/B testing, and production monitoring.
Deploy MVI to the field with MVI Mobile on iOS/iPadOS. Core ML export, on-device inference, device requirements, offline workflow, and mobile deployment best practices.
Deploy MVI Edge for real-time inference at the camera location. MQTT alert pipelines, edge diagnostics, hardware selection, drone integration patterns, and field deployment strategies.
Connect MVI to Maximo Manage for automated work orders, Health for condition scoring, Monitor for visual alerts, and Predict for failure enrichment. The closed-loop inspection architecture.
Model lifecycle management, retraining schedules, quality governance, scaling across sites, and the organizational change that makes or breaks enterprise visual inspection programs.
Complete REST API reference for IBM Maximo Visual Inspection. Authentication, endpoints, code examples, automation patterns, and the vision-tools CLI.
The definitive troubleshooting guide for IBM Maximo Visual Inspection. GPU configuration, training failures, deployment issues, mobile and edge problems, integration errors, and answers to every FAQ.
