Process Automation Using UiPath
Boosting Efficiency with UiPath: Streamlining Business Processes.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an important component of the ‘Future of Work’ toolkit. Many large organizations have substantial teams working on RPA, while many others are waiting for others to realize benefits before they jump in. This is precisely what happens when a disruptive technology comes to the fore. Risk-averse organizations wait and watch.
This blog will walk you through a basic understanding of RPA, its use cases, and factors to consider before deciding to use it. RPA is defined by the Institute for Robotic Process Automation (IRPA) as ‘’the application of technology allowing employees in a company to configure computer software or a ‘robot’ to capture and interpret existing applications for processing a transaction, manipulating data, triggering responses and communicating with other digital systems.’’ RPA offers a quick and simple way to automate any repetitive, process-oriented, and time-consuming tasks.
Benefits of RPA
· Reduce Human Error — RPA reduces the chances of mistakes made by employees performing mundane tasks like data entry, meaning less operational risk.
· Improve Customer Interaction — Using RPA for routine manual tasks frees up your workforce to focus more of their energy on ensuring your customers are happy.
· Better Workflow Processes — RPA bots are capable of performing defined tasks error-free, meaning their output is more accurate and of a higher standard than human counterparts.
· No New Hardware — Implementing RPA bots doesn’t require any new investment in your systems, so there’s no need to be concerned about any upheaval.
· Reduce Cost — Bots complete jobs faster and cost significantly less than a full-time employee. The worker who is freed up by the bot can now be utilized more cost-effectively, performing a task that needs a human touch.
· Speed — Consider how long it takes for a human to fill out a data sheet. An RPA bot can do it in a fraction of time. Over months or years, that’s a substantial amount of time and money saved.
· Flexibility — RPA bots can be programmed to perform virtually any manual, repetitive, clerical task.
· Scalability — RPA can be scaled up and down with ease. For example, companies can make seasonal adjustments based on the demand.
Development of Robotic Process Automation
The term “Robotic Process Automation” dates back to the early 2000s. It is a developing technology that is still dependent on its previous technologies. RPA is now enhancing the capabilities of its previous technologies and using them in the IT industry better.
Unlike its preceding technologies, it is not dependent on coding. Rather, it allows the user to use its drag-and-drop features to create and manage automation software. This gives the user the flexibility of managing the software even without any coding knowledge.
Many of the Robotic Process Automation software use optical character recognition (OCR) technology to understand the changing websites. This eliminates the need for human intervention.

Conclusion
With the emergence of Artificial Intelligence and RPA, new job profiles will be created. People should not worry that jobs will be on the decline due to automation. On the contrary, RPA will open doors for the re-skilling of manpower. Now people must focus more on super specialization in their particular field of work to succeed.
