"IBM Monterey Mexico" clients in manufacturing and logistics can leverage the Equitus Video Sentinel (EVS) platform on IBM Power11 systems integrated with IBM Maximo to create a powerful, data-driven operational ecosystem that enhances efficiency, safety, and asset reliability.
This combination turns traditional security cameras into proactive business tools.
How Manufacturing Clients Can Use EVS
In a manufacturing environment, EVS acts as an extra layer of intelligence, providing visual data to supplement the sensor data already collected by Maximo.
Proactive Maintenance and Quality Control: Cameras placed on production lines can monitor the condition of machinery. EVS can detect visual anomalies like excessive vibration, worn parts, or leaks. This information can automatically trigger a work order in Maximo, allowing maintenance to be scheduled before a catastrophic failure occurs. Similarly, EVS can perform real-time visual quality checks on products, flagging defects like cracks or misalignments and logging them in Maximo for analysis and defect management. This reduces waste and improves product quality.
Worker Safety and Compliance: EVS can monitor for safety hazards, such as an employee entering a restricted zone without proper personal protective equipment (PPE). The system can send an immediate alert to a supervisor and create a safety incident record in Maximo, helping to enforce safety protocols and ensure compliance with regulations.
Asset Health Monitoring: Beyond just detecting failures, EVS can continuously monitor the operational state of assets. For example, it can check if a machine is running at the correct speed or if a component is in the right position. This visual data, when integrated with Maximo, provides a richer, more complete view of an asset's health over its lifecycle.
How Logistics Clients Can Use EVS
For logistics and supply chain clients, EVS can streamline operations and improve security.
Automated Inventory and Yard Management: EVS can be deployed in a warehouse or logistics yard to automatically identify and track incoming and outgoing shipments. It can read container numbers or license plates, and this data can be sent to Maximo to update inventory records and manage yard space. This eliminates the need for manual scanning and reduces errors.
Security and Loss Prevention: EVS can monitor for unauthorized access, loitering, or suspicious behavior in storage yards and loading docks.
5 If an anomaly is detected, it can send a real-time alert and log the event in Maximo, enabling a swift security response and providing forensic data for investigations.6 Damage Detection: As a truck or container passes through a gate, EVS can automatically scan it for damage. Any scratches, dents, or other issues can be captured and logged in Maximo, creating a timestamped record that can be used for damage claims and accountability.
Why the IBM Power11 Integration is Critical
The native integration with IBM Power11 systems is a key advantage for these clients because it provides the necessary performance and reliability for these mission-critical applications.
High-Performance AI at the Edge: Power11's architecture, including its built-in AI acceleration (Matrix Math Accelerator), allows EVS to perform complex AI inference directly at the edge—where the cameras are located. This avoids the latency of sending video to the cloud, enabling real-time alerts and analysis.
Data Security and Sovereignty: For sensitive operations, running EVS on-premise on Power11 keeps all video data within the client's own secure environment, adhering to strict data sovereignty and compliance requirements.
Reliability and Resilience: IBM Power systems are known for their high uptime and robust security features, which are essential for manufacturing and logistics environments where downtime can be extremely costly.
