Leading deeptech company Samp has launched what is claimed to be a groundbreaking AI assistant designed to transform asset intelligence across piping-intensive industrial sites such as existing refineries, chemical plants, and power stations.
Samp says its Shared Reality Copilot is an industry-first tool that will revolutionise asset intelligence for industrial teams, proven to reduce asset verification time by up to 70% and to improve confidence in data connections by 90%.
Samp says that recent research has revealed that 90% of industrial managers regularly experience data quality issues on site. The company says in many large, complex facilities, the accuracy and connectivity of infrastructure data remains a critical challenge. Limited visibility and outdated or incomplete legacy documentation are said to hinder operational efficiency, safety, and capital investment decisions.
Shared Reality’s Copilot addresses this issue by fusing advanced AI with a human-in-the-loop workflow, creating what is claimed to be the first-ever platform empowering teams to seamlessly link 3D reality capture with technical data, P&IDs, and other legacy systems to create a fully verified, living digital twin.
Samp co-founder and CEO Laurent Bourgouin, said:“This is a new category of asset intelligence. Shared Reality’s Copilot revolutionises how industrial teams capture and validate their existing facility data. By ending the data quality crisis that has long plagued the sector, we’re empowering organisations to operate safer and faster than ever before.”
Samp says Shared Reality automatically detects pipes, valves, pumps, and other critical assets within 3D scans or engineering drawings, making it easy to link them together. What is said to set this solution apart is Copilot’s human-in-the-loop verification process, where AI linking suggestions are reviewed and validated by users to ensure every connection is accurate and trustworthy.
Bourgouin added:”This collaboration between machine intelligence and human expertise produces a unified infrastructure model that integrates fragmented data sources and legacy documents.
“Every verification step is logged to provide a traceable audit trail, supporting compliance, reporting, and future updates. Designed as a cloud-native, enterprise-ready solution, Shared Reality easily integrates with existing asset and maintenance management platforms, allowing continuous updates and engaging accessibility.”
Copilot can reduce infrastructure verification time by up to 70%, while improving confidence in data connections by 90%, enabling early detection of undocumented changes, which can prevent costly rework. It also allows teams to make better-informed capital investment decisions, more efficient procurement, and shortens maintenance schedules.
Use cases for Shared Reality’s Copilot include generating accurate as-built models that reflect the real facility layout, and improving maintenance planning with up-to-date system data.
