Responded to someone else earlier about this. Used solvers for problems that end up requiring solutions to problems like minimum set cover or schedule optimization problems. Basically, problems where a naïve or brute force approach will take forever to run and you need to use a real solver to attack it. These usually are data problems that end up looking like what would traditionally be considered under the umbrella of operations research.
