Robotic process automation is primarily at home in the areas of automation, industry and Industry 4.0, as well as artificial intelligence. The term refers to the use of software robots that take over simple, recurring tasks that were previously performed by humans. These „robots“ do not work physically, but perform digital tasks on the computer – such as filling out forms or transferring data between different systems.
Here's an example: In a company, hundreds of invoices need to be checked and entered into the system daily. With Robotic Process Automation, a software robot can complete this work lightning-fast and error-free, while employees gain more time for demanding tasks.
Robotic Process Automation helps companies save costs, avoid errors, and work faster. It can be implemented quickly and adapted to existing processes without needing to change the entire IT infrastructure. This makes the technology also interesting for small and medium-sized enterprises that want to make their processes more efficient.
