BoardVision 2.0

AI Distribution Board Scanning for Electrical Certificates

 

Scan Consumer Units and Import Every Circuit in iCertifi V 12.12.30

Board Vision 2.0 enables electricians to photograph a distribution board and automatically capture all circuit information.

The system identifies:

  • MCBs, RCBOs, and RCDs

  • Circuit ratings and device types

  • Circuit labels and layout information

All data is transferred directly into the certificate, eliminating the need to manually enter each circuit.


How BoardVision Works

BoardVision uses a two-stage AI analysis process designed for accuracy and reliability.

Stage 1 – Board Recognition

The system analyses the physical layout of the distribution board. It identifies the main switch, recognises the position of each protective device, and maps the board structure.

Stage 2 – Circuit Data Extraction

Once the layout is understood, the AI reads individual device information including:

  • Current ratings

  • Device types (B, C, etc.)

  • Label text and identifiers

This information is automatically transferred into the certificate, ready for review.


Designed for Real UK Installations

BoardVision supports a wide range of UK consumer unit types, including:

  • Split-load boards

  • Full RCBO configurations

  • Mixed MCB and RCBO layouts

  • Older consumer units and legacy installations

It works with equipment from major manufacturers such as Hager, Wylex, MK, and Crabtree.


Confidence Scoring and Error Checking

Not all photos are perfect. Lighting conditions, camera angles, or worn labels can affect accuracy.

BoardVision highlights any circuits where confidence is lower, allowing you to quickly review or correct entries before finalising the certificate. This ensures accuracy without slowing your workflow.


Save Time on Every Job

On a typical domestic installation, BoardVision can save several minutes per certificate. On larger commercial boards, the time savings increase significantly.

By eliminating repetitive data entry and reducing transcription errors, BoardVision helps electricians complete work faster and with greater confidence.


Getting Started

BoardVision is available within the iCertifi app. Simply open the app, select the scan option, and photograph the distribution board.

For best results:

  • Ensure good lighting

  • Keep the camera straight

  • Crop both the devices and label strip

BoardVision will handle the rest.


✔ Summary

BoardVision transforms how electrical certificates are created by automating circuit data capture, reducing errors, and saving time. It’s designed for real-world installations and built to support professional electricians.
