Software company Aize has acquired Samp, a French industrial AI company, in a move to unite their respective technologies, teams and visions to create a comprehensive approach to industrial asset information.

The combination will address industrial assets across their full lifecycle, from greenfield facilities to decades-old brownfield assets.

Samp has developed Shared Reality, an AI-powered platform that transforms reality-capture data, such as laser scans, into structured asset information and connects the physical identity of the field with engineering information such as tags, drawings and P&IDs.

Samp’s technology is already being used across more than 500 industrial facilities, with a strong focus on energy and water. Aize is used by leading companies across the energy sector, including bp, ExxonMobil, SBM Offshore, Aker BP, and Aker Solutions, to bring engineering, operational and asset information together in one digital environment.

Jarle Skrebergene, CEO of Aize, said, “What convinced us about Samp was not only the technology, but the team, their commercial momentum and how closely their vision aligns with ours. Together, we can connect engineering intent, operational information and what actually exists in the field, creating a uniquely powerful foundation for industrial companies to understand and work their assets throughout their lifecycle.”

CEO and Co-Founder of Samp, Laurent Bourgouin, commented, “Samp was founded around a simple conviction: for existing industrial facilities, the field is the ultimate source of truth. Shared Reality bridges the gap between physical reality and the technical information companies rely on every day. Together with Aize, we can connect engineering, operations and field reality across the entire asset lifecycle.”
