As utilities race to modernize infrastructure and roll out smart meters at scale, the pressure to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and regulatory compliance in field operations has never been greater. IQGeo address these challenges by combining precise geospatial network intelligence with AI-powered visual data capture to revolutionize the meter installation process.
AI-powered visual assurance
Deepomatic Lens enhances the reliability of meter installations through automated image analysis directly integrated into your ticketing system or IQGeo’s Workflow Manager for greater process control of field activities. By integrating accurate photo capture and discriminative AI modeling into the installation workflow, photos taken by technicians are instantly assessed for clarity, completeness, and compliance with quality standards, ensuring more than 98% of meters are installed correctly the first time.
Real-world success with leading utilities
Utilities around the globe have already saved significant time on meter installations using IQGeo's Deepomatic Lens unique AI photo capture capabilities.
Utility A: Faced with issues of poor photo quality and manual audits, this utility used Deepomatic Lens to automate image validation and meter data collection. As a result, they achieved:
25% reduction in technician reporting time >98% First Time Right (FTR) installation rate x5 installations, without increasing QC headcounts
Utility B: Managing 250,000 installations per year, this utility’s manual photo validation process became a bottleneck. With Deepomatic Lens, they:
Offloaded manual reviews Reduced validation time per install Improved technician productivity and photo documentation integrity Achieved 100% automated validation of installations
Strategic integration: IQGeo's acquisition of Deepomatic
In March 2025, IQGeo announced exclusive negotiations to acquire Deepomatic, aiming to integrate Deepomatic’s AI computer vision capabilities into IQGeo’s geospatial network management solutions. This strategic move is set to enhance network lifecycle management by enabling optimized detail capture and analysis in field operations, creating more resilient and efficient broadband and utility networks. Deepomatic’s software, already deployed globally, has processed over 20 million jobs in the past year, including more than half a billion transactions from over 30,000 daily field users.
IQGeo offer a transformative approach to utility metering:
- First-time installation accuracy with AI-based visual checks
- Reduced operational costs through fewer repeat visits and automated audits
- Improved compliance with complete, high-quality photo documentation
- Faster ROI on smart meter programs by minimizing installation errors and delays
Utilities can no longer afford to treat meter installations as a low-tech operation. With IQGeo, your teams gain the tools to do it right the first time.
