Robotic Process Automation
Unit IV
Topics
• Application differences between human and digital labour
• Opportunities for automation
• paper process elimination
• process prioritization
• Examples of business process automation
Application differences between human and digital labour
• Digital Labor enables the automation of repetitive white
collar work.
• Effective use of Digital Labor dramatically improves
productivity and allows employees to use their time more
efficiently by focusing on higher level tasks.
What is RPA/Digital Labor?
• Digital Labor enables the automation of repetitive white
collar work.
• Digital labor is software which can automate tasks that
we thought only humans could perform.
Application Difference between Human
and Digital Labor – Content Migration
• Organizations generate a massive amount of content,
and the human labours may not be able to collect and
analyze them.
• Hence, organizations prefer Robotic process automation
to manage and analyze the enormous amount of data
generated.
• Robotic process automation helps the companies to
accelerate application merging and application
incorporation with the migration of the content.
Application Difference between
Human and Digital Labor –
Business Transformation
• The advance robotic process automation (RPA)
technology helps the organizations to change their
business drastically.
• With the help of robotic process automation, the
organizations acquire a sustainable workforce that is
cheaper, efficient, and more consistent with digital
labours.
• It also allows companies to minimize their error and
production cost and eliminates the risk.
Application Difference between Human
and Digital Labor – Web Crawling /
OSINT (Open Source Intelligence)
• The term web crawling or OSNIT refers to the gathering
of information from various public sources.
• Robotic Process Automation can collect content present
in multiple formats from multiple sources.
• The material collected might be found in formats such
as pictures, text, video, and audio.
• The RPA can also capture data from the deep web with
the help of deep learning techniques.
Application Difference between Human
and Digital Labor – Perform IT jobs
• The robotic process automation is applied in the IT sector to
interact and execute a repetitive process.
• The various rule-based tasks such as comparing and
collecting data from multiple systems, extracting and
reformatting the information present in the dashboards and
reports, and writing or reading the data in the database are
performed with the help of the robotic process automation.
Application Difference between Human
and Digital Labor – Process planner
• The robotic process automation helps to design and complete various
processes.
• RPA is related to multiple factors, such as voice response, human
interactions, and miscellaneous hardware.
• The different types of processes that are associated with the robotic
process automation are long term process, short term process,
priority, first come first serve, and round-robin.
• The process planners are responsible for defining methods like
decentralized and centralized processes in robotic process automation
(RPA).
• The process designers prepare the plans based on the consistent
methodology and various other standards of the robotic process
automation system.
Paper Process Elimination - Example
• Acodis is an IDP engine that uses an innovative
purpose-built Document Query Language (DQL) and AI-
based learning systems to transform unstructured
documents into machine-readable representations. In
other words, with Acodis, you can turn any document
into structured data in just a few seconds.
• Acodis integrates with existing systems, like RPA, and
helps with document classification, data extraction, and
information processing of any document type in any
language.

Process Prioritization Scorecard -
example
A similar scorecard could be developed for various process prioritization on Productivity, Risk
mitigation, Impact, Compliance, etc

Opportunities for Automation
• The niche areas where the opportunities for automation are found
are the business cases that companies try to develop into an RPA
project
