The Optimization Firm offers both custom solutions and general software packages capable of solving the hardest numerical optimization problems. Our innovative software tools, BARON and ALAMO, empower a wide range of academic and industrial applications and are designed to help companies optimize their operations.
Top Industries Among Our Industrial Clients
BARON has been licensed by over 100 companies in various industries, including energy, manufacturing, engineering, finance, healthcare, and media. These software solutions assist companies with complex decisions based on mathematical models. For example, the pooling problem is an optimization problem that is encountered by refinery operators in the transportation, mixing, and processing of crude oils. Refineries worldwide can solve the pooling problem using optimization software packages. Even the slightest improvement in these refinery scheduling operations can yield monthly savings of millions of dollars for each refinery.
Since its introduction in 2018, ALAMO has been used by hundreds of scientists and engineers in the areas of automation, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, computer software, and manufacturing. ALAMO builds models with a minimal amount of information while accounting for physical constraints. These features are hugely important when collecting data is expensive. ALAMO has been used to model refinery operations, medical imaging, chemical reactions, and fuel efficiency.
