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 and Deepomatic have teamed up to 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 from Deepomatic 

Deepomatic 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 Deepomatic’s unique AI photo capture capabilities. 

Utility A: Faced with issues of poor photo quality and manual audits, this utility used Deepomatic to automate image validation. As a result, they achieved: 

  25% reduction in technician reporting time

 >98% First Time Right (FTR) installation rate

 Over 1.3 million photos successfully analyzed between April 2022 and January 2024

Utility B: Managing 250,000 installations per year, this utility’s manual photo validation process became a bottleneck. With Deepomatic, 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. 

Together, IQGeo and Deepomatic 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 and Deepomatic, your teams gain the tools to do it right the first time.
