The Robots Are Here to Stay: How Automation is Affecting Global Business

by Leave a Comment

Robots are shaking up different aspects of the modern business world. Deloitte’s 3rd Annual Robotics Survey suggested that the implementation of robotic process automation (RPA) in organisations is in the rise.

Robotic Process Automation? What Is It?

Simply known simply as RPA, it is the use of robotics systems on computers or robots to support the processing of data, and thereby, making such data processing more effective.

RPA also comes with programs that prevent the need for human hands or humans to perform rule-based tasks that are mostly repetitive. Thus, RPA also leads to very time-efficient processes. [Read more…] about The Robots Are Here to Stay: How Automation is Affecting Global Business

Robotic Process Automation Market to Gain Impetus from Blue Prism’s Digital Workforce and its Exceptionally Secured Automation

by Leave a Comment

In a world full of cutting-edge technologies and advancements, robotic process automation (RPA) plays a meaningful part in systemizing tasks of the ultra-modern businesses.

The pursuit of efficient, smarter, and superior chatbots with higher intelligence has inexplicably increased the degree of automation processes; improving conventional business at the far end of the spectrum.

Yet there are so many blurring confusions about the function of RPA. Let’s clear that first! RPA can be simply put together as a tool intended to support business processes with automation.

There are many things out there that go into helping a business succeed. Great employees, cutting edge technology, good customer service and marketing can all take businesses to the next level.

However, something that might be even more important to companies than any of those is data.

Data plays a very large role in a variety of companies for a variety of reasons. It helps make decisions, identify trends and many other things beneficial to a business. [Read more…] about Data and RPA – How Robotics is Changing Data Analytics

Dos and Don’ts of Robotic Process Automation in Your Business Enterprise

by

Enterprises often have incompatible legacy applications that have to be manually interfaced. This involves repetitive processes that reduce the productivity of their employees.

Major replacement of these legacy apps is undesirable due to the costs and the time required for the overhaul. This is where Robotic Process Automation (RPA) fits perfectly.

According to Gartner, RPA revenue for the year 2018 reached $846 million in 2018, up by 63 percent from the previous year. In 2019, this number is expected to reach $1.3 billion. [Read more…] about Dos and Don’ts of Robotic Process Automation in Your Business Enterprise

Robotic Process Automation: How ‘software robots’ are finding their niche

by

A simple introduction to a complex subject

At Robotics and Automation News, we like real robots, ones that you can see and touch, that are preferably made of metal. However, we might have been remiss in not talking about another kind, the “software robot” that sits inside your computer, watches what you are doing, and learns how to do it for you.

Software developers automate tasks by analysing them in detail, and writing programmes that carry out the task step by step, and then writing something called an Application Programming Interface (API) to link the task into an organisation’s computer system.

The drawbacks here are the usual – some tasks don’t justify the cost of designing a special software system, yet nonetheless many hours of laborious manual inputting needs doing. It is here that Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and software robots are coming into their own.  [Read more…] about Robotic Process Automation: How ‘software robots’ are finding their niche

Robotic process automation can drive billion-dollar savings in healthcare, says Alsbridge

by

Advisory company Alsbridge predicted that deploying smart robots to improve the efficiency of claims processing could generate billion-dollar savings for the healthcare industry. 

“Robotic process automation (RPA) offers a cost-effective strategy to significantly increase the rate of healthcare claims automation and drive cost savings,” said Rod Dunlap, a director in Alsbridge’s RPA practice.

“Insurers struggling to update aging, inflexible legacy systems or grappling with the price tag of new technology platforms now have an alternative option.”  [Read more…] about Robotic process automation can drive billion-dollar savings in healthcare, says Alsbridge

As robots are fast becoming our co-workers, we take a look at when and where this alliance began. By James Hall, CEO of Genfour

The first autonomous robots joined the workforce at a General Motors plant in 1961, where they performed tasks like welding car bodies together.

In the decades that followed, robots performed an increasing share of industrial factory work, but always alone – their inventors, George Deyol and Joseph Engelberger, deemed them too dangerous to work around people.  [Read more…] about The growing power of robots in today’s economy and society

In robots we trust, says Genfour

Robots are becoming more and more integrated into our everyday lives, but are we willing to trust them over our own intuition?

Should we trust robots?

A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology recently conducted an experiment to determine whether or not the occupants of a building would trust a guide robot in the event of an emergency evacuation in case of fire.

Thirty volunteers were accompanied by a robot with wheels and LED arms in a room, and were asked to complete a survey form. The researchers then filled the hallways of the building with fake smoke and triggered the fire alarm. The participants left the room and the guide robot led the way towards a path that was unfamiliar to the participants.  [Read more…] about In robots we trust, says Genfour
