ROMeo Case Study: Global 500 Energy & Utilities

Company

Introduction
This case study of a Global 500 energy & utilities company is based on a
March 2014 survey of Invensys SimSci optimization software customers by
TechValidate, a 3rd-party research service. The profiled company asked to
have their name blinded to protect their confidentiality.

“ “Our project is ongoing, but we expect a benefit of at least 3

MM USD / year.”

“We are seeing continually improving operational margins.”

Challenges
■ Solved the following challenges with SimSci optimization software:
Company Profile
■ A need to monitor, optimize, or improve plant yields and profitability
■ A need to automate optimization and reporting The company featured in
this case study asked to
have its name publicly
blinded because publicly
endorsing vendors is
