New agentic capability validates work at the moment of execution, reducing rework, accelerating approvals, and extending Render across the full infrastructure lifecycle
Render Networks, the system of execution for critical infrastructure, today announced new capabilities within ClearWay, its agentic AI architecture, introducing a Field Quality Agent that validates infrastructure work in real time, at the point of field collection.
Infrastructure investment is scaling at a pace the industry has never managed. AI data centers, broadband expansion under BEAD, and grid modernization are all accelerating simultaneously—driving volume at exactly the moment when supply chains are tightening, and cost pressures are compounding. In this environment, quality failures are not recoverable events. Rework accounts for up to 15 percent of total project cost, and issues identified after the fact are significantly more expensive to resolve. The constraint is execution control.
Despite the stakes, quality and approval remain largely managed after the fact. Field evidence is reviewed downstream, issues surface late, and delays compound. For programs operating at infrastructure scale, that gap between work performed and work verified is where risk accumulates.
The Field Quality Agent closes that gap. In the field, a mobile agent guides crews through required evidence collection as work is performed. A review agent then evaluates individual photos against defined quality requirements, while multi-modal AI assesses the full body of field evidence and operational context to provide an overall recommendation on the completed task. The result: manual photo review effort is significantly reduced, approvals accelerate, and every completed task becomes a verified, defensible record.
“ClearWay builds on our role as the system of execution for critical infrastructure,” said Stephen Rose, CEO of Render Networks. “We have always focused on ensuring that work in the field becomes verified operational truth. This release takes that further, bringing quality and control directly into the moment work is performed and supporting a robust automated approval process.”
The current infrastructure buildout is forcing operators and builders to rethink how execution quality is managed at scale. As timelines compress and project complexity increases, validating work earlier and reducing operational bottlenecks becomes increasingly critical.
“With the amount of infrastructure demand hitting the industry right now, contractors have to find new ways to scale without sacrificing quality or creating operational bottlenecks,” said Corey Klaasmeyer, CEO of Klaasmeyer Construction. “The ability to validate work earlier, guide crews in real time, and use AI to help reviewers focus only on the exceptions that require human judgment will fundamentally improve how infrastructure projects are delivered.”
Render operates across fiber, broadband, and electric infrastructure on a shared, verified data foundation spanning design, construction, operations, and maintenance. For network operators, that means building and managing fiber with speed and precision while maintaining a current, trusted view of the network as it evolves.
For electric utilities, it means coordinating planned and unplanned maintenance, detecting outages, dispatching crews, and restoring service with the data to support long-term grid planning. Over the coming year, Render will continue to extend its system of execution throughout the broadband and electric industries.
