All about Robotics Process Automation

Do you think the robotics is really warrior in fighting with the COVID-19

ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION (RPA)

The onset of the terrible Covid-19 pandemic and its effect over the economy is turning us tumbling in the feet. Little are we realizing what to do and how to act? We are gravely interwoven in the mesh of stringent guidelines and adversities that hardly are we able to determine our very own actions. On one hand, we heartfully wish to keep our own selves as well as our family safe, while on the other we are facing a keen urge to renounce to our daily routines. The choice is difficult, yet one which needs to be made.

We must learn the art of survival while the virus is still surviving. We need to make wise and dominant use of technology to make the same happen. Various countries are adopting different methods for the same and one such technology being used widely is Robotic Process Automation (RPA). As the times are changing and with growing competition, an enterprise needs to incessantly improve its products, sales, etc.

Also referred to as Software Robotics, RPA is a technological marvel filled with innovation and technology. Mainly utilized by the companies, it is about automating the day to day tasks, thereby reducing the workload.

RPA systems use software with Machine Learning and Artificial

Intelligence capabilities to manage large sized repeatable data.

A software developer creates a list of actions to automate using APIs(Application Program Interfaces) and the RPA systems develop the list of actions by observing the user perform the task and automate directly in the GUI.

Categories of RPA Technologies:-

RPA technologies can be divided into 3 main segments:-

1). Probiotics – follow repeatable rules to process data.

2). Knowbots - these bots scroll the internet to gather the required information.

3). Chatbots - a type of virtual agent which answers user queries.

 (A bot is a software program designed to perform repetitive tasks much faster than human users)

Robotic Process Automation 2.0:-

Often referred to as unassisted RPA, it is the next generation of RPA technologies.it enables us to run a process on a computer without requiring any input from the user.

Applications of RPA:-

1. Data Extraction Process
2. Customer Care Automation
3. Information Validation
4. Data Migration
5. Finance Process Automation

Various robotic process tools are gaining immense popularity these days. These include- UIPath, Blue Prism, Glant, etc. RPA along with its sophisticated improvements is completely capturing the AI industry in a storming way owing to its efficiency. Humans can provide a work output of only 8 hrs, while a bot can work unaltered for 24 hrs with speed and accuracy.

Robotics the bless technology in pandemic COVID-19:-

In the terrifying situation of the grisly pandemic, we need such measures which will enable us to remain both safe and contented.

Robots these days are being widely used by several countries to practice the art of social distancing to keep COVID at bay.

1. South Korea is making wise use of RPA by having Robots take orders and services to avoid any kind of manual contact(Daejeon, SK)

2. Renesse, Southwestern Netherlands, and Seville, Spain are also working on similar grounds.

3. The robots are also being commanded to perform the much-required process of thermal screening for visitors.

4. In Washington D.C, a shopping store is making use of bots to replenish the stocks and clear the unwanted stuff.

With the automated techniques gaining immense popularity, we can witness growth in terms of the advancement of thoughts as well as a kickstart to new ideas. Although the RPA workforce is helping us to perform our daily chores with enhanced efficiency, still the demand for human force has not been stagnated. There exists a sharp completion between the two on the grounds of efficiency and flexibility.
