Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment and Geographic Area Information
Segment and Geographic Area Information

Roper’s operations are reported in four segments around common customers, markets, sales channels, technologies and common cost opportunities. The segments are: RF Technology, Medical & Scientific Imaging, Industrial Technology and Energy Systems & Controls. The RF Technology segment provides comprehensive application management software, software-as-a-service applications and products and systems that utilize RFID communication technology. The Medical & Scientific Imaging segment offers medical products and software and high performance digital imaging products and software. Products included within the Industrial Technology segment are water and fluid handling pumps, flow measurement and metering equipment, industrial valves and controls, materials analysis equipment and consumables and industrial leak testing. The Energy Systems & Controls segment’s products include control systems, equipment and consumables for fluid properties testing, vibration sensors and other non-destructive inspection and measurement products and services. Roper’s management structure and internal reporting are aligned consistently with these four segments.

Prior to the end of the first quarter of 2019, Roper’s management expects to finalize the realignment of the Company’s reportable segments. Roper’s management believes the new reporting structure continues to provide a transparent view into the operations of the Company while more closely aligning the structure with management’s view given the evolution the Company’s portfolio has undergone in recent years. The Company expects to report the first quarter 2019 interim financial statements under the new segment structure with prior periods recasted to reflect the change.

There were no material transactions between Roper’s business segments during 2018, 2017 and 2016. Sales between geographic areas are primarily of finished products and are accounted for at prices intended to represent third-party prices. Operating profit by business segment and by geographic area is defined as net revenues less operating costs and expenses. These costs and expenses do not include unallocated corporate administrative expenses. Items below income from operations on Roper’s statement of earnings are not allocated to business segments.

Operating assets are those assets used primarily in the operations of each business segment or geographic area. Corporate assets are principally comprised of cash and cash equivalents, deferred tax assets, recoverable insurance claims, deferred compensation assets and property and equipment.
