The Profound UI Mobile Client allows users to access information stored on an IBM i server through the use of an iPhone or iPad. IBM i data can be retrieved, updated, and/or integrated with native device features, such as the camera for photo uploading. Once connection details are supplied, all IBM i data access is in real time. Existing IBM i character-based applications can be converted to be accessed using an enriched user interface on the mobile device. The Profound UI Mobile Client communicates with the Profound UI server component, which must be installed and properly configured on the IBM i server.

IBM Maximo Visual Inspection app is designed to bring the capabilities of IBM Maximo Visual Inspection server to the edge and rapidly enable visual inspections, whether devices are mounted in fixed locations or are hand-held. It takes complex computer vision models developed on IBM Maximo Visual Inspection server, the end-to-end, point-and-click deep-learning platform, and performs inferencing using an iOS/iPadOS device and its integrated camera. The app can even run Core ML models exported from IBM Maximo Visual Inspection server, which enables local inferencing on-device without requiring network connectivity. Specifically, IBM Maximo Visual Inspection app works by: • Leveraging object detection and image classification models trained on IBM Maximo Visual Inspection server for remote inferencing or exported to Core ML for local inferencing • Monitoring inspection performance down to each device and its location via an integrated reporting dashboard when multiple devices have been deployed • Providing remote management and configuration of IBM Maximo Visual Inspection apps running on remote devices using an integrated supervisor capability • Empowering individuals within enterprises to take action in real-time by leveraging IBM Maximo Visual Inspection app to determine if defects, damage or other anomalies exist • Delivering instant, actionable notifications to recipients via SMS as well as to other systems by using MQTT
