Our Mission
At Samp, we believe in AI-empowered industrial facilities adapting efficiently to the sustainability imperative. Environmental impact, safety and the increasing scarcity of field workers are putting industrial sites under unprecedented pressure to transform fast. Every day counts! Samp uses patented Artificial Intelligence as the digital catalyst that enables facilities to transform 10x faster.
Samp reduces to a few days – instead of months – the time needed to prepare, execute and capture any modification on site. With Samp, all teams collaborate seamlessly around the same Shared Reality, consolidating all technical documentation around an always up-to-date 3D scan of equipment and systems. Our next generation Asset Management solution enables:
- safer and faster maintenance and modernisation,
- efficient handover between engineering and operations,
- full visibility over all your assets.
Our Values
Our Story
Samp’s history started back in 2019 when Shivani Shah (CTO) and Laurent Bourgouin (CEO) had a coffee at the world’s biggest Startup campus STATION F as part of the Entrepreneur First program.
After 15 years spent in the Water & Energy industry, witnessing and suffering from the technical debt accumulated over the years by these industrial facilities, Laurent had decided it was time to do his part. Every day counts in dealing with the environmental urgency!
Freshly graduated from her PhD at the French Nuclear Research Agency (CEA), Shivani Shah had a unique tech in her hands and amazing skills in State-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence applied to very big data. She was now looking for a real-life problem to apply it to, with a strong desire to have a positive impact on the world.
And then it happened: the AHA MOMENT!!!
Shivani and Laurent met to discuss their visions. Laurent told everything he knew about how aging industrial facilities are struggling with their technical data and documentation, preventing them from accelerating their transformation. Shivani demoed the huge potential of development in the latest AI Research and how it could be applied.
It was obvious: there was a perfect match between a “hair-on-fire problem” and an amazing DeepTech to solve it! The common vision was born: Automatically generating a fully intelligent 3D virtual replica of Industrial sites from a simple 3D scan!
What was only a dream and a vision 4 years ago, is now a reality: an amazing AI-powered solution deployed on several dozens of sites across Europe with major customers!
