Robotic process automation (RPA) constitutes a set of software technologies that facilitates the building and deployment of software robots (bots) that mimic human actions when interacting with graphical user interfaces and other digital systems. Actions, such as opening a file, moving the mouse, filling in form fields, etc. may thus be automated and be carried out in a much faster fashion after training and programming specific RPA platforms.
RPA frameworks are finding application in various manufacturing and service domains with the primary goal being to automate workflow processes and data handling. Standard RPA frameworks may offer the capability to develop new applications by using visual programming blocks, thus enabling designers /engineers to deploy an automated process flow with minimal programming knowledge. The basic idea behind RPA technologies in the manufacturing sector is to allow trivial parts of a process or data exchange workflow to be automated with a high degree of precision.
