Challenge: A Quality Assurance Process Not Designed for Scale

Circet’s operations rely on photographic evidence to validate every job completed for its operator customers. At scale, this created critical challenges:  

High volumes of images, with over 70,000 photos captured daily  

Increasing evidence requirements and complexity 

Limited ability to verify the quality and correctness of work in real time 

Rework and repeat site visits due to late issue detection 

 

Solution: Real-time Visual AI Embedded in The Field

In 2022, Circet Ireland & UK started to deploy IQGeo NetLux AI directly into its field workflows:

  • Smart meter installations in Ireland with real-time quality validation
  • Fiber blockage detection and classification, expanding from Ireland to the UK

In 2026, Circet expanded visual AI across new use cases leveraging IQGeo’s domain-specific visual agents:

  • Site safety validation across UK and Ireland
  • Cross-vertical photo conformity validation across UK and Ireland

Impact: Safety, Quality, Efficiency and Innovation

AI is now embedded in the daily workflows of Circet’s Ireland & UK field teams, helping them complete work accurately and safely. For the business, this translates into measurable outcomes: 

 

Reduced delays and lower QA costs through a streamlined, cost-efficient process, with AI validating each photo in seconds. 

 

Fewer errors and less rework thanks to real-time feedback that ensures jobs are completed right the first time. 

 

Stronger field safety and compliance driven by improved visibility and automated checks. 

 

More efficient and scalable operations enabled by enterprise-wide AI transforming how field work is managed. 


Circet Ireland & UK can also provide operator customers with reliable, verifiable proof of completed work, strengthening trust in the relationship.

What visual AI has allowed us to do is reduce a lot of errors or people trying to take shortcuts on site. It has helped us eradicate a lot of either poor quality workmanship or people not working to the standards that we expect.
