Regain control of infrastructure
Improving the performance of old industrial sites requires their constant modernization. Samp helps to better renovate and maintain industrial facilities, focusing on the accessibility offered by new technologies.
This work of industrial modernization requires an excellent knowledge of the real state of the infrastructures: a major problem for the sector. That is why the company focuses on a crucial issue: keeping technical documentation up to date (blueprints, schematics, lists of equipment, etc.).
Laurent Bourgouin, general director of Samp, explains to us: “The modernization of old infrastructures often requires partial and obsolete plans, which is a big problem when it is necessary to start studies and start renovation works.”
Samp offers a web portal that links existing plans and optical recordings (photos, videos, laser scanning) of the current state of the factories.
This AI-accelerated insight work allows you to verify the integrity of plans, discover hitherto ignored inconsistencies, and correct them. Laurent adds: “Samp immediately improves mutual understanding between field teams and engineering offices.”
Innovation at the service of a fundamental resource: water
In the current environmental context, we are witnessing the awareness of the limitation of natural resources. One of the big concerns: water. While this environment remains little publicized, the public and industrial infrastructure that treats water is myriad. Aware of vulnerability and the absolute need to make these works more resilient and durable, Samp has invested in the water sector since its inception as one of its two priority objectives along with energy.
Laurent Bourgouin explains: “The water infrastructure is one of the oldest. Today, 30% of the water is lost in the networks. The sector must be transformed”. And this in a context of strong tension around the economy of natural resources. There are many infrastructures around water treatment, in particular for the storage of rainwater, the production of drinking water or the treatment of wastewater. All are subject to accelerated modernization plans.
Along with its public use, water is essential in the industrial environment. Almost all factories use water. The challenge here is, in particular, to improve its reusability and to know how to modernize without interrupting industrial activity.
The company wants to further increase its impact and is opening up to new markets, including North America, as its supply meets rapidly growing demand.
