What is Robotic Process Automation

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a platform for automating Business Process which is executed using software applications. Let’s understand the crux RPA,

• Robotic / Robots (Bots) – Bot is an entity which will mimic the human actions; to put it simple it is an output like exe file.
• Process – In general, when some task is executed in an accurately it becomes a process. So here process talks about the task which we are going to Automate
• Automation – A task which happens by itself without Human intervention is an Automation

Can we think about the few use cases in our day to day life where Automation is applied.

Automation	Process	Area
Fan	Generating Air	Electric
Air Conditioner	Cool Air at required temperature Advanced system based on the room temp.	Electronic
Mixer Grinder	Grinding particles	Electronic
Automobile – Two wheelers and Cars	Automatic gear system for two wheelers and Car	Automobile
Washing Machine	Washing clothes	Electronic
Mobile	Wireless Communication	Telecom

Above listed automation which we have experienced in our life is implemented in various other industries. Now let’s think of use cases which can be automated in Software industry,



In your organization if there are many task which are repetitive, rule based and time consuming, then we can definitely automate those task using RPA (Robotic Process Automation). Few more simple examples filling up timesheet on day to day basis, generated employee reports weekly, Monthly performance report of a product. Likewise, we have lot of process which can be automated using RPA Tools.
