Where this product sits

IBM Maximo Visual Inspection is classified as Visual inspection. Quality inspection of parts, products or infrastructure as the buying job. Jobs: line inspection; infrastructure defects; anomaly of appearance.

Buyers typically come to Visual inspection because defects still depend on a human at the line. Classification is not a finding that this product solves that job.

This is TrustMark's classification reading for buyers comparing Visual inspection products. It is not an Assurance Score, certificate, or ranked position.

What it is

Product classification

AI Software Product

IBM Maximo Visual Inspection (MVI) is computer vision software for detecting defects, anomalies and equipment issues in images and video, offered as part of IBM Maximo Application Suite. Through a no-code interface, teams gather and label images, train inspection models and deploy them to mobile devices, fixed cameras, drones and edge servers. MVI Edge runs models on edge servers connected to high-resolution cameras, specialised imaging systems, drones and vehicle-mounted devices, with custom rules for defect detection and monitoring of inspections, while the MVI Mobile app runs automated inspections on an iPhone on site or in the field. Typical uses are quality control on production lines, including root cause analysis, and inspection of infrastructure and plant assets, alongside Maximo's digital inspection forms, checklists and scheduling. IBM cites Sund & Baelt combining drone imagery with AI visual inspection on bridges and tunnels. It is licensed through Maximo Application Suite's AppPoints model; pricing is by quote.

• Granite 4.0 H Tiny Claim

  Granite-4.0-H-Tiny is an open-weight instruct language model from IBM's Granite team, released on 2 October 2025 under the Apache 2.0 licence. It uses a hybrid mixture-of-experts design that combines Mamba2 and attention layers, with 7 billion parameters in total of which about 1 billion are active per token, and a 128K-token context length. IBM tuned it for instruction following and tool calling, and lists summarisation, text classification and extraction, question answering, retrieval-augmented generation, code tasks, function calling, multilingual dialogue and fill-in-the-middle code completion as uses. It supports English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabic, Czech, Italian, Korean, Dutch and Chinese, and can be fine-tuned for other languages. The weights are published on Hugging Face and run with the Transformers library. IBM notes that performance in other languages may trail English and that the model can still produce inaccurate, biased or unsafe output, so it recommends safety testing for each use.

• Granite 4.1 30B Instruct Claim

  Granite-4.1-30B is the largest instruct model in IBM's Granite 4.1 family, released on 29 April 2026 under the Apache 2.0 licence. It is a dense decoder-only transformer with about 30 billion parameters and a 128K-token context length, fine-tuned from Granite-4.1-30B-Base on permissively licensed open instruction datasets, IBM synthetic data and a small set of human-curated data. IBM's post-training combined supervised fine-tuning with reinforcement learning to improve tool calling, instruction following and chat. It is meant as a base for business assistants and tool-using agents, with listed uses including summarisation, classification and extraction, question answering, retrieval-augmented generation, code tasks, function calling, multilingual dialogue and fill-in-the-middle code completion. It supports English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Arabic, Czech, Italian, Korean, Dutch and Chinese, and can be fine-tuned for other languages. The weights are on Hugging Face for use with Transformers. IBM warns that output can still be inaccurate, biased or unsafe and suggests pairing it with Granite Guardian.

• Granite Embedding 311M Multilingual R2 Claim

  Granite Embedding 311M Multilingual R2 is an open text-embedding model from IBM, released on 29 April 2026 under the Apache 2.0 licence. It turns queries, passages, documents and code into 768-dimensional vectors for search, retrieval and similarity, with a context length of up to 32,768 tokens. Built on the ModernBERT architecture, it covers more than 200 languages, with stronger retrieval training for 52 languages and for code in Python, Go, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Ruby, SQL, C and C++, including cross-language retrieval. Embeddings can be shortened to 512, 384, 256 or 128 dimensions to save storage with a modest loss in quality. IBM reports a score of 65.2 on the multilingual MTEB retrieval benchmark, 13 points above the earlier 278M model it replaces. It works with Sentence Transformers and Transformers, ships ONNX and OpenVINO versions, and can be served through vLLM or llama.cpp. IBM says all training data is under permissive licences and passed its data clearance review, and notes that low-resource languages may retrieve less well. A smaller 97M sibling suits latency-sensitive use.

• Granite Guardian 3.3 8B Claim

  Granite Guardian 3.3 8B is an open model from IBM Research, released on 1 August 2025 under the Apache 2.0 licence, that judges whether the prompts sent to an LLM system and the responses it returns meet set criteria. It comes with built-in criteria for general harm, social bias, jailbreak attempts, violence, profanity, sexual content, unethical behaviour, harm engagement and evasiveness, plus checks for hallucination in retrieval-augmented generation (context relevance, groundedness and answer relevance) and for faulty function calls in agent workflows. Teams can also supply their own criteria in plain language. It is a hybrid thinking model: in thinking mode it gives a reasoning trace with its yes or no verdict, and in non-thinking mode it returns only the verdict. IBM says it must be used only in this scoring mode, that it is trained and tested on English only, and that its reasoning traces are not guaranteed accurate. The 8B size suits model assessment, monitoring and spot checks rather than high-throughput guardrails.

• Granite Vision 4.1 4B Claim

  Granite Vision 4.1 4B is a compact vision-language model from IBM Research, released on 29 April 2026 under the Apache 2.0 licence, built for pulling structured data out of document images. It converts charts to CSV, summaries or Python code that redraws the chart, extracts tables with complex layouts to JSON, HTML or OTSL, and extracts named fields such as invoice dates or order numbers into JSON against a schema supplied by the user. Short task tags in the prompt switch between these jobs. It also keeps the general image-description abilities of Granite Vision 4.0. The model pairs a SigLIP2 vision encoder with a 3B Granite 4.1 language model, about 4 billion parameters in total. IBM reports 94.2% exact-match accuracy on the VAREX field-extraction benchmark. It runs with Transformers, vLLM and MLX on Apple silicon, and plugs into IBM's open-source Docling document pipeline. IBM notes it takes English instructions only, may do worse on documents in other languages and on open-ended visual tasks, and that its output should be checked before use in automated pipelines.

• IBM Bob Claim

  IBM Bob is IBM's enterprise AI coding agent for building, testing, securing and modernising software across large codebases. It works in agentic modes: Ask explains or analyses code without changing it, Plan works through architecture and a technical plan before implementation, and Agent carries out the change, with custom modes also possible. Bob routes each task to a suitable model to control compute cost, and gives leaders central visibility of spend and usage. It handles repo-wide refactors, dependency upgrades, framework migrations and test regeneration, and checks for vulnerabilities in the IDE and during pull request review. Developers approve its suggestions before changes are made to source code. Bob includes a command-line tool (Bob-Shell) and can create integration agents and MCP servers. It is offered as IBM-managed SaaS or deployed in customer-controlled environments, including air-gapped ones, with local and private model options, and premium packages add capabilities for Java, IBM i and IBM Z modernisation and for DevSecOps. Plans include a 30-day trial, individual tiers and an enterprise plan with pooled usage and team budget controls.

• IBM Cognos Analytics Claim

  IBM Cognos Analytics is a governed business intelligence platform for enterprise reporting, dashboards and data exploration. It combines self-service data modelling, formatted and scheduled reports, interactive dashboards and visualisations, and automated forecasting in one product, built on certified data models with centralised governance, audit trails and fine-grained access controls. An AI Assistant lets users ask questions in natural language and generate visualisations and dashboards, and Reporting Agents, available in recent 12.1 releases, automate repeatable reporting work such as aggregation from inside the assistant. Cognos can run on premises, in an IBM-hosted cloud environment, as containers on IBM Cloud Pak for Data or any Kubernetes cloud, or as a fully managed service on AWS operated by IBM.

• IBM Concert Operate Claim

  IBM Concert Operate, formerly IBM Cloud Pak for AIOps, is an IT operations product being brought onto the IBM Concert platform to give a single operational layer across applications, infrastructure and networks. It ingests and processes events in real time, then correlates, groups and deduplicates alerts so teams see fewer, more actionable incidents. Full-stack observability maps topology and dependencies, helping operators understand how an incident cascades and what its business impact is. Fault localisation helps identify probable cause and the blast radius across dependent services, and agentic AI can run iterative investigation steps using built-in incident and topology data, extended with third-party agents and diagnostics from existing tools. Shared context and integrated workflows are aimed at ITOps, NetOps and site reliability teams working the same incident, with guided remediation and automated actions to cut manual toil. IBM does not publish list pricing on the product page; buyers should contact IBM.

• IBM Datacap Claim

  IBM Datacap is document capture software that scans, recognises, classifies and extracts data from business documents, and is a capability of IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation. It takes input from scanners, fax, email, PDFs and other digital files, application images and mobile devices, and uses natural language processing, text analytics and machine learning to classify and pull data from unstructured or highly variable documents that template-based capture handles poorly. Mobile capture lets staff photograph and validate documents at the point of contact. Role-based redaction can automatically hide sensitive fields depending on who requests a document. Captured data and documents can be exported to IBM and third-party content repositories and business applications, and a Datacap MetaBot connects it to Automation Anywhere robotic process automation. As of 2026 IBM supports Datacap 9.1.10 and 9.1.9 and asks customers to stay on the latest interim fix. A hosted Datacap on Cloud service is also offered. Pricing is by quote.

• IBM Guardium Discover and Classify Claim

  IBM Guardium Discover and Classify finds and classifies sensitive structured and unstructured data across on-premises, cloud and mainframe environments. Continuous scanning discovers repositories and metadata automatically, and machine learning can be trained to recognise which files hold sensitive data, so one product covers data types regardless of where or how they are stored. Typical uses include handling data subject access requests (DSARs) under privacy regulations, discovering and classifying mainframe VSAM datasets, pointing data protection controls at the right data, and reducing attack surface by flagging duplicated, unused or no-longer-needed records. It also adds business context to SIEM and SOAR tools, showing where exposed data sits and how sensitive it is, and extends data loss prevention with continuous discovery, analysis and lineage. An integration with OneTrust supports privacy data mapping and DSAR fulfilment. Pricing is based on managed virtual servers for structured data and terabytes for unstructured data, and varies with the number of data sources; IBM quotes on request.

• IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimizer Claim

It combines operational, IoT, inspection, maintenance and quality data into an asset health score for condition-based maintenance, uses historical data and machine learning models to forecast failures and estimate when assets will stop performing, and supports reliability-centred maintenance by building strategies around asset criticality, failure modes and business risk. Maximo Condition Insight turns real-time and historical asset data into recommendations, and IBM is adding AI agents into the workflow: Condition Insight explains asset condition and suggests actions, RCM Strategy Builder helps draft FMEAs and maintenance strategies, and Alert Insights adds diagnostics and recommended actions to alerts. APM is part of IBM Maximo Application Suite and is licensed through the suite's AppPoints model; pricing is by quote.

• IBM OpenPages Claim

  IBM OpenPages is a governance, risk and compliance (GRC) platform that brings risk, compliance and audit work into one integrated system, deployable on any cloud or on-premises. It is modular, so organisations switch on only the components they need: business continuity, data privacy, regulatory compliance, third-party risk, internal audit, IT governance, model risk governance, operational risk and policy management, all running in one environment. The GRC Canvas gives teams an interactive workspace to model processes, risks and controls against live data and spot gaps. Embedded AI helps with classification and issue creation, and an API-based design lets customers plug in watsonx.ai or their own models. An OpenPages MCP Server lets governed AI agents create, query and update GRC objects. Workflows, dashboards and views are configured without custom code, and open integrations export GRC data to BI tools and data platforms for traceability and audit readiness.
