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
| 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 |
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.
