How process automation works by combining RPA & AI together?

 

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is a technology adopted widely in recent years by several businesses. In the projects, those who were responsible for the tasks started easily, had excellent results with little efforts utter "quick wins." There is a considerable high demand for the RPA in the years ahead, according to Gartner.

 

On the other hand, after a while companies start experiencing difficulties in finding the right processes for automation using RPA. At some point, technology appears to reach its technical and economic limits due to the increasing unstructured data.

 

What are the strengths of Robotic process automation (RPA)?

One very good thing is that RPA, based on rules the technology processes structured data fast, consistently, and accurately. A special benefit of RPA is that deep integration into multiple systems is not required. Yet it operates user or desktop interfaces of the respective applications. Various systems can be connected quickly. RPA is referred to as a bridge technology because RPA functions like the human there is no need to run system tests.

Many processes can be automated with RPA reducing cost and without changing or replacing existing applications. RPA is used, among other things, for repeated data entry functions as well as for downloads and uploads in the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) area. All this makes RPA a key application in the transformation of the information and process infrastructure into a digital world.

 

What does RPA required to be in function?

  • The maximum frequency of cases possible- To achieve a high ROI (return on investment) for companies the number of customers transactions should be relatively high.
  • Rule-based processes- Bot cannot decide based on the feeling. It requires a set of rules under which they operate.
  • Structured data- RPA bots are designed in such a way that it requires structure data to work. The problems happen when data provided is not available in the structured format that is needed for RPA. For example, consider communicating with customers. The technology cannot do anything with an e-mail - unstructured communication content that means the data must first be viewed, evaluated, and put into a structured form.

When RPA is weak, AI takes over?

It functions like this: Before certain data is transferred to the RPA (or the RPA provider), you first get to an AI application (or the AI provider).

The following steps are taken in the process of input management by AI:

Categorization- What is an incoming data set? A complaint, an order, a change request? AI identifies the "problem".

Extraction- The AI then transfers the corresponding data to a system so that it can be processed further and used later.

Enhancement- AI dynamically enhances the process using additional information from existing systems.

Validation: AI also checks whether all information is valid. An employee can interfere and bridge the gap in technology between them.

Now the well-structured data is then sent to a bot via XML, CSV file, or web service, taking it further for automation of the process.

The additional integration of AI has three advantages for companies.

AI provides extended input. The technology makes unstructured input available for existing RPA processes, for example in the case of bank data changes.

AI builds bridges to processes that consist entirely of unstructured data. Example creation of certificates based on longer texts such processes cannot be handled by the RPA. Other examples are contract data where longer contracts have to be viewed and read. This cannot be addressed by RPA. AI allows these processes to be enabled to RPA.

AI supports the partial automation of processes, also known as robotic desktop automation there must be involvement of human for reason. Here, AI can also extract the data to make it more accessible to the people. He then receives the ultimate extraction. Well-known examples are lawsuits and contracts.

Is it easy? yes, it is in making a positive combination between RPA & AI. It is always worth investing in RPA. Existing system landscapes can be retained. AI works flexibly and processes can be further improved in a targeted manner. A perfect combination! for process automation.

What are Hyper-intelligent automation solutions (HIAS)?

Image
HIAS, short for Hyper-intelligent automation solution, is the interaction of  artificial intelligence (AI) with related technologies such as RPA (Robotic Process Automation) ,  optical character recognition (OCR) ,  machine learning (ML ), or deep learning, and  business process management (BPM) . Hyper-intelligent process automation is an advanced form of robotic process automation.  HIAS mimics the activities of the human employee and over time learns to complete them even faster and more efficiently. Human intervention is no longer necessary here. Until now, only well-defined procedures with structured data could be automated using RPA . However, these requirements are rarely met. With the help of HIAS, much more complex decision-making processes can be automated. HIAS can convert unstructured data into structured data for subsequent use of RPA technologies. For these reasons, the technologies are not mutually exclusive, but can instead contribute to opti...

High possibility of RPA automation in financial processes

Image
  A standardized, repetitive, and completely rule-based processes with a high proportion of simple and manual activity are particularly well suited for Robotic Process Automation.   Such processes are hard to find, especially in the finance and controlling areas . Because of the numerous tasks, legal and contractual responsibilities, and a large amount of data (documentation) workers require more assistance.   Employees are repeatedly busy with monotonous, manual tasks and therefore have no time to perform higher-value tasks. Since it is difficult to find specialists in finance and controlling. An employee in the companies should focus on the business-relevant issues so that they can use their professional skill in development.   Implementing the RPA solution to comfort employees RPA solutions can provide enormous relief here that means employees can concentrate more on value-adding activities again...

The role of RPA & BPM in Process Automation

Image
When it comes to digital transformation, the processes must be adapted, optimized & then automate. Efficiency enhancements have a significant part to play here also the error rate reduces & the working quality increases. To make it possible two approaches have to be taken i.e. Business Process Management (BPM) and Robotic process automation (RPA). By reading further you will get to know the role of the two technologies in optimizing the business process and how do they can work together. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) RPA a path to process automation in which robots execute tasks usually performed by employees manually. Thanks to the automated processing of standardized workflows, companies benefit from higher process speeds and fewer errors. The robots use current office and ERP systems to communicate with the information layer of the individual application software without changing the strategic software architecture and ongoing business logic. Hence no expensive and...
