Using patented AI and 3D streaming, Samp’s cloud-based solution connects 3D reality capture with technical data to accelerate asset management, rehabilitation or expansion projects, in days. Users navigating through the workspace have a 360º perspective of real site conditions, alongside with P&IDs and equipment lists. The AI recognises the equipment in the 3D model and helps rapidly tag all items of equipment using identifiers from the engineering documents. The discrepancies between the actual site conditions and the original P&ID, are identified instantly. This solution is suitable for wide range of projects in the municipal water and energy sector, involving both aboveground and buried assets and networks.
Samp’s 3D Asset management workspace provides users visual models of sites that are not only synchronised with engineering documents, but also continually updated. It brings office and site personnel closer together and facilitates work preparation for safer onsite activities. Teams can work virtually before accessing the field, improving safety and optimising investment and maintenance while reducing errors. To add further value, Samp can easily connect to existing IT systems, to become an easy to use visual gateway to information, for the top management, working teams and contractors.
What are the financial benefits for utilities ?
Based on results from current projects, Samp has estimated a range of improvements in engineering projects, procurement, site works and operations.
- 50% reduction in delays due to late discovery of system errors
- 50% reduction in time required for dispute procedures during sign-off of works
- 80% reduction in time and costs for projects inventories
- 30% reduction in subcontractor use of contingency measures
- 70% reduction in inventory time
- 70% reduction in the time required to investigate alarms
These benefits have attracted major customers such as SUEZ, ENGIE, Teréga, Trapil, SPMR, etc. Samp is used as the backbone of their 3D asset management projects. In addition, projects are underway with other European customers in the water and energy sectors, both municipal and industrial.
