Robotic Process Automation Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an innovative technology that relies of software robots ("bots") to automate digital business processes. These bots emulate human computer work, carry out repetitive manual tasks and ease the workload of those who are your most important asset: your employees.
How does RPA work?
RPA bots carry out structured and repetitive processes automatically and error-free. They can recognise content on screens, make entries on the keyboard, copy, move, and delete data as well as many other activities. These artificial assistants make sure that their human co-workers can take care of those really challenging and creative tasks: being in touch with clients, developing new concepts, creative work, and productive collaboration.
RPA is different from other automation solutions mostly because it relies on a low-code approach and the fact that the screen is used as an interface. This makes RPA the first technology that can automate business processes without the need to adapt these processes themselves or underlying IT systems.
RPA uses the existing infrastructure and does not need any sophisticated interfaces, which makes it inexpensive to implement. The areas of use of this technology range from the use of existing interfaces (APIs) and the automated operation of standard applications all the way to extracting and analysing unstructured data via machine learning. If implemented correctly, RPA has the potential of dramatically increasing efficiency.
Many areas of use for RPA bots
RPA allows users to have many different digital processes taken care of automatically and to connnect individual tasks using a workflow management approach.
- Access websites and process content
- Download and save data
- Extract and transform data
- Analyse data and make calculations
- Use programmes on a Windows system
- Transfer data between applications
- Carry out logical process steps
- Can be combined with machine learning
- Use interface services (API)
