Paris-based AI firm Samp has secured €6 million in new funding to expand its AI-generated digital twin solutions for sensitive industrial sites. As industries face growing challenges in managing complex infrastructures, Samp’s innovative technology promises to enhance operational efficiency and safety. The fresh capital will enable the company to scale its offerings and meet increasing demand in the industrial sector.
In earlier developments, Samp had focused on creating digital twins to assist industrial sites in managing outdated documentation and improving maintenance processes. This recent funding marks a significant step in the company’s growth, enabling it to expand beyond its initial market and address broader challenges in industrial decarbonization and modernization.
Investment Led by Promus Ventures and Kvanted
The funding round was led by US-based Promus Ventures, with additional investment from Northern European VC firm Kvanted. This infusion of capital is expected to propel Samp’s growth and expand its reach in the industrial technology sector.
“We are excited to partner with the team at Samp and support their mission to become the operating system of Industry 4.0,”
said Jeremy Teboul, Vice President at Promus Ventures.
Samp’s Shared Reality Platform Enhances Industrial Efficiency
Samp’s patented Shared Reality solution combines artificial intelligence with 3D data and technical documentation to create real-time digital twins of industrial sites. This technology enables operators, particularly in the water and energy sectors, to improve operational efficiency and accuracy. The platform integrates 3D scans with often outdated technical documentation, providing an accurate digital representation for informed decision-making.
“Our ambition is to become the key solution allowing industrial players to face today’s colossal challenges in terms of security, resilience, and the environment,”
stated Laurent Bourgouin, co-founder of Samp.
Companies such as Engie, SUEZ, VEOLIA, Teréga, Trapil, and SFDM have already adopted Samp’s solutions. With the new funding, Samp plans to expand its sales team in France and Europe, advance research and development in AI and 3D technologies, and prepare for international expansion beyond Europe. The company aims to address challenges like outdated documentation and knowledge loss, which are essential for modernizing industrial sites.
The intersection of AI and industrial management is increasingly critical as industries seek to modernize and improve sustainability. Samp’s approach to creating real-time digital twins offers a practical solution to complex challenges in infrastructure management. By leveraging AI and 3D technologies, companies can enhance operational efficiency, reduce risks, and contribute to environmental sustainability. As the demand for such innovative solutions grows, Samp is positioned to play a significant role in shaping the future of industrial operations.
