When we think of automation it reflects an image robotics arms, industrial equipment running all around us. From food packaging to health care each and every sector is being revolutionized by it. With the advancement and enlightenment of human-computer interaction, this automation has breached the limits far beyond.

With the advantage of robotics mimicking every human action and following it with high precision and accuracy and inculcation of action of every human being with the help of machine learning. Automation is now not contained in physical work.

Robotics Process Automation (RPA) is a quintessential example of a computer within a computer. Automated software that monitors each and every action performed by the user and then performs the task in the same sequence. Whether it is organizing bytes and bytes of data of different bank account details or tracking the shipment across the globe all can be performed, monitored and improved with the help of RPA.

HOW RPA WORKS?

RECORDING/MONITORING: I

To analyses the action of the user and the task to be performed the RPA records the task of the user. The sequence and the set of instructions are to be selected by the user.

SCRAPING:

The scraping process is the extraction and accessibility of the RPA to the element of programs it needs to visit to perform the assigned task. It can be a website, app or device.

SCRIPTING:

After the extraction of data from the task, scripting is done to aggregate the data into the desired format, location or address.

The functioning of the RPA gets more featured and integrated depending upon the task to be performed inclusion of human events, time delay, variables, cryptography.

WHY RPA?

Cost-effective:

Productivity depends on the number of outputs that we get with single input per unit time. RPA minimizes the human force making it cheaper. Now different functions can be assigned to the same entity with the earlier required more human employees. Incorporate the accountant’s department to hold the record of trade and transaction.HR team for execution of tasks. Technical team to ensure the technical aspects of the company. PR team to bridge between the client and the company. All these tasks that require a lot of human force can be done by Research Process Outsourcing.

User-Friendly:

RPA can be simply designed simply with various platforms without writing lengthy and complex code which makes it easier for the user to understand its uses and functioning.

Enhancement in productivity:

With high precision and accuracy results in fine quality of output in less duration. This factor helps in increasing both the quality and quantity of work.

Work in non-suitable condition:

In hazardous conditions where it is difficult for a human to work with efficiency. RPA function smoothly due to no physical contact with the surrounding. So a business in the industrial and polluted area can be governed from home.

APPLICATION OF RPA:

  1. Banking sector: Encryption of Pin Code, transaction, interest rate calculation, sending of OTPs and protect the sensitive data from breaching all can be done by RPO or Research Process Outsourcing
  2. E-Commerce websites: From the selection of the type of goods you want to buy to compare their prices on different websites according to specifications. Email different account with different data all become easier
  3. Logistics and Packing: Deciding the route of transportation to mentioning details of the manufactured end product
  4. Multiple data aggregation and sorting: Data entry of long excel sheet, business trades and scope of communication all can be done in minutes
  5. Health care: Monitoring the health of the patient and providing adequate medicine. Maintain large data from pharmaceutical companies.
  6. National and international surveys: Recording and sorting data of population counting in crores takes a lot of effort and time can be improved with Research Process Outsourcing and then implementation within the short term
  7. Space projects: Recording, decoding, and transmission of live data from the space station
