AI quality control for German fiber construction

Deutsche Telekom reported 100% AI-based quality control in its German fiber rollout

WorkingCompany's own claimOfficial ↗

Problem

Construction supervisors had to review large volumes of site documentation. Missed defects could require expensive rework.

Approach

Deutsche Telekom Technik and T-Systems developed AI@Construction Monitoring to analyze construction-site 3D scans. Computer vision identified potential defects and returned traffic-light results for supervisors. The group's full-year 2025 results reported 100% AI-based quality control in German fiber rollout.

Takeaway

The coverage figure described the reach of AI quality control. It did not mean that every defect was detected.
