Samp has been featured in the Tank Storage Magazine Autumn/Winter 2025/26 print issue in an article highlighting how collaboration with Smart Asset Integrity Solutions (Smart AIS) is helping industrial operators in the Netherlands improve maintenance preparation and asset integrity workflows. The article presents a shared approach focused on removing uncertainty before work begins, where poor preparation, fragmented information, and limited field context often drive cost, risk, and rework across terminal operations.
Improving maintenance preparation through Shared Reality
Many maintenance challenges originate during the preparation phase, where teams often rely on fragmented drawings, inspection reports, and assumptions that do not fully reflect field conditions. Samp and Smart AIS address this by providing a more connected and reliable way to prepare work, enabling teams to operate with greater clarity and confidence.
By combining Samp’s Shared Reality with Smart AIS’s inspection expertise, operators can access a shared, visual environment where inspection findings are linked directly to physical assets. This allows teams to understand issues in context, evaluate accessibility, and assess potential impact earlier in the process.
Supporting operators in the Dutch market
A practical example from the Rotterdam industrial area illustrates the value of the approach. Smart AIS supported the early detection of corrosion in a hard-to-reach location, while Shared Reality enabled the issue to be visualised in its exact physical context and connected to maintenance history. This combination allowed the team to understand the situation immediately, assess the risk, and take action early, preventing a costly breakdown.
More broadly, Shared Reality acts as the foundation that brings inspection data, site conditions, and technical information into one shared environment, enabling fewer preparatory site visits, better scoped work packages, faster coordination between maintenance, HSE and contractors, and more predictable execution.
