Samson VT is an online platform that allows a user to convert a design or intellectual property into a 'Virtual Twin' i.e., a digital replica of any entity. The platform is redefining how organisations think about, manage, and interact with data by connecting previously siloed data and replacing paper and PDF publications. Its vision is to pioneer Virtual Twin as a Service (VTaaS), a subscription model affordable to small and medium enterprises. With £250,000 Angel funding in February 2019, the brand built SamsonWEB, its cloud-based platform that allows organisations to start their digital transformation journey by uploading a Computer-aided design (CAD) file onto its portal. Its SamsonCORE then allows the user to virtually take apart the product, viewing everything from the serial numbers for individual components, to service records for parts. And, with SamsonLIVE, the user can connect, store and visualise Internet of Things (IoT) data to build a fully functioning virtual twin. The IoT market is estimated to reach $11.1 trillion by 2026 furthering the need to shift to work and think digitally in a comprehensive manner. In January 2020, to compliment SamsonWEB, SamsonCORE, and SamsonLIVE, Innovate UK awarded the company with a £500,000 grant to develop SamsonAI. With the funds received, the company aims to invest 30% of it on SamsonAI alongside Innovate UK Grant, 30% on SamsonCORE development, 20% on marketing and sales, and 10% on outstanding suppliers.
