Samp CEO urges industrial sector to ‘wake up’ to Shared Reality, as sites benefit from €500k annual savings

“Those who have adopted Shared Reality have slashed equipment inventory update time and cost by 80% and reduced ongoing OPEX by 15%”

Laurent Bourgouin, CEO of Samp, is urging industrial operators to embrace Shared Reality – an AI-powered 3D digital workspace built to modernise outdated practices. Deployed in just a few days, Shared Reality generates a digital twin of industrial sites by aligning 3D scans with existing, often incomplete or outdated, technical documentation. This immersive, web-based solution brings together schematics, inventories, and engineering drawings into a single interactive model, accessible from anywhere. By enabling remote collaboration, faster decision-making, and dramatically safer working conditions, Shared Reality ensures data integrity across operations – marking a decisive shift toward a smarter, more agile, and connected industrial future.

“Too many teams are still relying on guesswork and outdated data to run critical infrastructure,” said Bourgouin. “Shared Reality changes that. It gives you a clear, current, and complete view of your site within days, straight from the field. If you’re not already using it, you’re falling behind.”

Samp’s Shared Reality solution has already demonstrated its value on hundreds of industrial sites across multiple sectors. It has cut the cost of engineering studies by nearly a third, halved on-site risk exposure and dangerous interventions, and reduced contract amendments by 60%. Customers have reported a five percent boost in plant uptime due to faster maintenance response, while others have slashed equipment inventory update time and cost by 80%.

The financial gains are equally impressive – averaging over €500,000 in CAPEX savings per site, per year, and a 15% reduction in ongoing OPEX.

“This is a wake-up call for the entire industry,” Bourgouin concluded. “Information chaos has been accepted for too long. Now, with Shared Reality, there really is no excuse.”

To facilitate this much needed awakening, Samp is even offering current customers of traditional  3D virtual visits a free switchover to Shared Reality, AI and 3D technology, turning outdated site data into an accurate model for faster, safer operations and decision-making.

For a greater understanding of the immediate benefits of Shared Reality, Samp is inviting industry leaders to see it in action.

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.
