Robotic Automation

‍

What It Is:
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is not about physical robots but software bots that mimic human interactions with digital systems. Using rule-based logic, APIs, and screen scraping, these bots can log into applications, move files, extract and enter data, and trigger workflows across multiple platforms.

How It Works:
       •        Attended bots run alongside humans, assisting with real-time tasks.
       •        Unattended bots operate independently, scheduled or event-triggered.
       •        Orchestration platforms (like UiPath, BluePrism, or Automation Anywhere) manage scaling, error handling, and reporting.

Technical Strengths:
       •        Works with legacy systems without requiring full IT overhauls.
       •        Integrates via APIs, RPA SDKs, or UI-level automation.
       •        Can be combined with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and NLP to process unstructured data.

Applications: Finance (invoice reconciliation), HR (onboarding), Healthcare (patient records), Logistics (order processing).

Think of RPA as a digital assembly line worker—precise, repeatable, tireless—but working in your spreadsheets and ERP instead of a factory.
