RPA Use Cases: Top Advice
Kirill Yusov
Robotic process automation has sparked a lot of interest in entrepreneurs and organizations due to the increase in efficiency, potential, and profit that it leads to. Statistical analysis of some robotic process automation use cases and the market as a whole show that it is, in fact, so successful, that it’s likely to take over almost half of the market in 10 years’ time. In this article, we’re going to cover some basics and describe the best use cases of RPA.
Defining RPA
Robotic process automation can be described as the use of artificial intelligence to mechanize processes in a business enterprise. It is based on the ‘learning’ software that gains experience and enhances performance by reading user task performance and creating its own plan of operation. This is opposed to action lists being constructed by a programmer via API, therefore, making automation easier, cheaper, and much faster. This ultimately results in the improved quality of performance in the manipulation, processing, and analysis of large amounts of digital data, action responses, and others.
Implementation of multiple AI workers can be similar to an office of human employees with the difference of lower maintenance cost compared to an average salary. Such ‘workers’ are also more punctual and accurate than most human individuals.
How Does It Work?
By conducting a rapid analysis of data from user interactions and activity logs, RPA practically learn how to create precise imitations of human communication, reactions, and responses. This includes handling and processing of data and the use of applications, searching, and logging in.
Not unlike human workers, AI robots use keyboards and other standard control devices to execute automation processes, but with much higher speed and efficiency. This occurs in a virtual setting, thus, taking up much less physical space while, at the same time, enabling greater productivity.
