With the rapid development of information digitization, RPA has been widely used in various industries and its popularity has increased. This “technology dark horse” has become one of the important engines to build business process automation, helping enterprises to transform to “intelligent automation”.
What is RPA?
Simply put, RPA (RoboticProcess Automation) is a software technology that automates robot processes. It can simulate human operation computer, instead of manual execution of some regular, repetitive work, can greatly improve business efficiency and accuracy. If combined with AI technology, it can also process unstructured data such as text, voice and image, thus becoming a new generation of “digital employees”.
So how does this “digital employee” design output?
RPA tools in the industry today typically have three components: designer, robot, and admin. Generally speaking, the designer is responsible for process design and development, the robot is responsible for executing process tasks, and the management center is responsible for managing and monitoring the robot. Among them, RPA designer shoulders the important task of endowing robot with intelligence and is the key to make RPA become “digital employee”.
When we find a manual, repetitive process in a business scenario, the process can be developed and designed for robot execution through RPA designer. Huawei’S RPA designer provides robot process designers with three development modes: recording, choreography and code.
Let’s take booking high-speed rail tickets as an example to explain how to quickly design business processes using Huawei RPA Designer:
Step 1: Open Huawei RPA Studio designer, create a project, and select a path to save the project.
Step 2: Click the “Web Record” button in the functional area. In the dialog box that is displayed, enter the address of the 12306.cn official website and click Start to record.
Step 3: Start recording the whole process of our ticket grab — log on to 12306.com, select the destination and destination, and then select the time and train.
Step 4: After the operation process is finished, return to the recorder and click “Save and exit” to complete the recording process;
In this way, with the Web recording function of RPA designer, the whole process of booking high-speed train tickets can be designed and developed with a few simple steps of recording operation, and then the robot can follow this process to simulate manual operation.
RPA features and values
As a software automation technology, RPA can be deployed without changing existing IT systems, with a short implementation cycle and quick results.
In addition to simple scenarios such as ticket reservation scenarios mentioned above, RPA can be applied to more complex business scenarios to bring greater value to users. The RPA robot can operate continuously for 7*24 hours, greatly improving business efficiency. For example, when processing a large number of forms that need to download and input data, RPA can directly replace manual input, greatly reducing the time. The second is that the error rate can be reduced to near zero, and the entire operation can be backtracked and audited. Overall, the introduction of this “digital employee” can effectively reduce the cost and operational pressure of the organization, build more automated processes and applications, and achieve business innovation and growth.
