Study Overview

Global Economy Continues to Dictate Growth

The Real-time Process Optimization and Training (RPO) market includes advanced process control (APC), on-line optimization, and dynamic simulation for training.

The global recession affected all corners of the globe and continues to be the single biggest influencing factor on growth of the RPO market. Companies are returning to the pre-recession investment patterns, albeit with more caution.

Organizations looking to reduce costs and improve profitability are focusing greater attention on efficiency improvements and their customers’ needs. Quite often, this requires improving agility as well. Obviously, APC, optimization, and operator training simulators play an important role in achieving higher return on assets.

Over the years, APC has decisively demonstrated its value as a best practice by increasing throughput and improving yield, energy usage, raw material usage, product quality, safety, and responsiveness. On-line optimization provides additional benefits beyond APC to optimize processes based on an economic objective function. Operator training simulators help operators improve proficiency and avoid costly critical situations.

Solutions targeted at reducing costs and improving margins offer users a compelling value proposition even in economic downturns. RPO solutions address the very issues that are paramount in today’s business climate.
