One million square meters of infrastructure will be digitized, classified, and connected through the French DeepTech company Samp’s solution, to optimize the operation of SEDIF’s (Syndicat des Eaux d’Île-de-France) facilities, serving over four million users.
Samp, a French DeepTech company, has developed Shared Reality, the first AI-assisted industrial Digital Twin capable of producing, within days, a continuously updated 3D reality model that mirrors on-site conditions, even when starting from incomplete or outdated data.
With 4 million users served, SEDIF (Syndicat des Eaux d’Île-de-France) is the largest public drinking-water service in France and Europe. As expectations grow for greater transparency and performance in asset management, Franciliane, SEDIF’s operating delegate, is leveraging Samp’s Shared Reality technology to transform the way it manages and operates its water infrastructure.
«To support SEDIF’s digital asset transformation, we needed a solution capable of faithfully representing vast and complex facilities while structuring data from multiple sources. With Samp, we now have an innovative, intuitive, and collaborative tool that connects the field, teams, and information systems. This marks a major step forward in improving operational performance and transparency for SEDIF » said Charles Montigny, Head of Asset Management at Franciliane.
Samp’s mission is to rapidly digitize an extensive and complex asset base, centralize and validate data from diverse sources, and make it continuously accessible through a unified and collaborative digital platform. This solution serves all stakeholders involved in operations from operators and project owners to engineering teams.
« Being selected by Veolia Franciliane as the operational BIM platform to support SEDIF’s digital transformation is a strong recognition of our expertise. This strategic partnership showcases our ability to manage large-scale technical assets and demonstrates the value of our technology in addressing a major public-utility challenge. It represents a key milestone in our large-scale deployment.» stated Razvan Gorcea Director of Water and Environment Development at Samp
Measurable results from the first project phases
The rollout of Shared Reality has already delivered tangible results, demonstrating its immediate impact in the field. Over the first few months, Samp and Franciliane implemented an agile organization supported by advanced technologies including mobile and stationary scanners and drones to capture and integrate data efficiently.
- Rapid deployment: Unlimited-user licensing model, automatic recognition of 2D and 3D objects.
- Unprecedented digitization pace: Up to one site per day, covering a total surface area of approximately one million m².
- Tens of thousands of assets connected within a unified 1D/2D/3D environment.
- 100 % of data integrated into the Shared Reality platform, secured and fully interoperable with existing systems.
By pioneering this initiative with Samp, Veolia Franciliane is setting a new standard for innovation across its network paving the way for deployment across other subsidiaries and industrial sites within the Group. This technological and operational breakthrough positions the project as a benchmark for sustainable digital transformation in essential public-utility services, including water, sanitation, and waste management.
