Les Echos banner

In an interview with Les Echos journalist Adrien Lelièvre, Laurent Bourgouin, CEO of Samp, shared exciting news about the company’s recent achievements and future ambitions. Samp, has raised €6 million in funding from international investors Promus Ventures and Kvanted, to accelerate its international expansion and continue advancing its cutting-edge AI technology.

In the article, Laurent discusses Samp’s mission to transform industrial site management, which has already attracted major clients in energy & water sector like Engie, Suez, and Veolia, and their technology can be applied across multiple industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, industrial gases, batteries, etc.

Since its founding, Samp has been dedicated to addressing the growing need for reliable, up-to-date data in complex industrial environments. As Bourgouin explains, industrial sites are constantly evolving, yet the documentation often fails to keep up. “Our goal is zero bad surprises on site,” he says. Samp’s solution Shared Reality bridges this gap it provides precise information to operators, engineers in charge of operations, or maintenance personnel. Users have interactive access to their facilities, linking a 3D reality model of the physical assets captured on site with technical diagrams and equipment data. It helps rapidly understand the site and data integrity. According to Laurent Bourgouin Shared Reality allows clients to save significant operational costs—“hundreds of thousands of euros per year”.

Beyond improving efficiency and safety, Samp is also committed to supporting its clients’ decarbonization efforts. Laurent Bourgouin highlights the importance of reliable data in modernizing industrial sites, “Reliable data is critical to this transformation, supporting innovations like biomass energy, solar panels, and carbon capture solutions. Shared Reality provides the foundation for these green initiatives, enabling the modernization of industrial sites with confidence and precision.” 

Samp is now poised for international growth, with Spain, Italy, Germany, and North America on the radar as key markets for expansion.

What can you expect from a demo with Samp?

Scanning Services

Extend the reach of your scanning services by delivering your scanning campaigns on an AI-powered 3D worspace, designed from the ground up for the industry. Leverage your surveying and topographic expertise to consolidate valuable field data into a single viewer: maps, aerial and drone orthophotos, laser scans, photogrammetry or videogrammetry, and georadar can now be securely viewed, updated and shared in one place.

Engineering services, EPC

Upscale the value of your engineering services offering by delivering digital twin as a service, powered by your qualified staff. Improve customer retention with longer-term contracts that ensure continuous synchronization of technical data with the as-built facility. Accelerate or automate the production of technical deliverables when working on brownfield projects with little or no existing input information.

CONTRACT OPERATORS

When preparing a quote for operating a facility on behalf of the owner, be sure to maximize that short window of time by taking advantage of as much technical information as possible. Turn your initial site visit into a unique opportunity to capture the current condition of the facility. Make a bid that will beat the competition with an already operational digital twin, while giving you increased confidence in your future service contract margins.

OWNER OPERATORS

Whether you manage a single plant or multiple sites, whether your facilities are on-shore or off-shore, we can help you build and maintain a twin within days. Major milestones in a plant’s lifecycle, such as handover from EPC to operator, change of ownership, revamping or decommissioning, provide an opportunity to implement a safer and more efficient way of working with your extended teams, regardless of the quality of your technical data.
