Guidance for Computer Vision for Quality Insights with IBM Maximo® Visual Inspection on AWS

Overview

This Guidance helps you detect and classify defects in the manufacturing industry by integrating AWS services with IBM Maximo® Visual Inspection and Maximo® Application Suite. Industrial leaders will be able to perform monitoring, scheduling and resource provisioning, in addition to asset management and maintenance. This Guidance deploys remote monitoring and visual inspection to optimize and automate quality inspection and increase production uptime through alerts and anomaly detection. 

How it works

This architecture diagram demonstrates how to detect and classify defects in the manufacturing industry.

Well-Architected Pillars

The architecture diagram above is an example of a Solution created with Well-Architected best practices in mind. To be fully Well-Architected, you should follow as many Well-Architected best practices as possible.

Plant managers and technicians can review the inference results in the MVI edge user interface, MVI mobile app, or MVI training server. This helps ensure that plant managers and technicians stay updated on any operational issues by accessing relevant data through their device of choice. 

Additionally, Maximo® integrates with Amazon CloudWatch for workload and process monitoring.

Secure key and certificate management encrypts data at rest and in transit. MVI also provides automated detection of unintended data access.

Read the Security whitepaper

This Guidance uses NLBs, which can handle unpredictable traffic patters while still maintaining low latency for the MVI edge, mobile, and web applications. MVI is also deployed across three Availability Zones to maintain business continuity even in the event of failure.

Read the Reliability whitepaper

In this Guidance, MAS optimizes manufacturing performance, extends asset life cycles, and reduces operational downtime and costs with highly configurable computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), enterprise asset management (EAM) and application performance management (APM) applications all in a single product.

Read the Performance Efficiency whitepaper

The Guidance is cloud-modernized and scalable due to its use of Red Hat® OpenShift®  Service on AWS (ROSA). ROSA allows for autoscaling, through which resources are added or removed based on actual workload usage and management settings.

Read the Cost Optimization whitepaper

Maximo® uses per-node Amazon EBS storage for localized node-based storage and Amazon EFS, which scales as needed to avoid overprovisioning of infrastructure.
