There was a time when
automation technologies, or more specifically Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
was too new and too mysterious to implement. That is, the associated costs
remained somewhat unknown as did the benefits offered.
Today, that is no longer
the case. In fact, the reality is quite the opposite. Robotic processautomation can offer so many benefits and cost advantages it seems almost silly
not to implement it, at least in some small manner.
For starters, it can help
free human laborers from repetitive or rote tasks, allowing them to dedicate
their talents and expertise to more deserving duties. But that’s just one of
many benefits offered.
Here are some of the
other advantages you can expect to see from adopting robotic systems in
automation, and similar machine-driven technologies.
Lower Costs
In addition, to cutting
operating costs and improving efficiency, robotics can be used to replace
repetitive tasks that human laborers might otherwise be doing. This allows for
cost savings in wage and salary costs too.
RPA vendors estimate a
cost savings of 20 to 60 percent when deploying such technologies. That alone
is enough to make the move to more automated systems.
Efficiency and Speed Improvements
Robots never grow weary, and
they never get burnt out on repetitive duties. In fact, the only thing that can
slow them down is a maintenance issue or hardware malfunction. So long as they
are properly serviced — with preemptive maintenance strategies no less — they
can run continuously, with minimal loss in performance.
Improved Analytics and Better Data
Realistically, you can’t
track much data pertaining to human workers. Sure, you can measure their output
and productivity in a variety of ways, but the information you collect is not
always reliable either.
It’s the complete
opposite with robotics and advanced automation systems. As they work, they
collect data about anything and everything, which serves as an incredible
database of information that you can put to use. It leads to better decision
making with more successful outcomes. It reveals a lot more about your
processes and it can help you unlock new avenues of improvement.
Essentially, the more
data you have the better. But it also has to be accurate, error-free, and
reliable and that’s something automated systems can definitely provide.
Versatility Boost
When you imagine roboticprocess automation, likely one of the first industries that come to mind is
manufacturing and development. However, robots can be used across a wide
variety of fields, including medical, IT and software, customer service,
retail, and even transportation.
An RPA software robot can
perform a list of over 600 actions in a given sequence. It can mimic even
simple human actions, but it can take over more complicated and elaborate tasks,
as well, in just about any field imaginable.
Any process, system, or
platform that is rule-based and includes repetitive tasks or operations can be
automated, in full, using robotics. That also means you — as a business — can
be just as versatile. There is a nearly endless supply of opportunities in
regards to how you can use the technology, and it can be scaled up — or down —
as much as you need.
Customer Satisfaction Boons
Higher efficiency, better
and more reliable output and improved accuracy translates to better products
and services. In turn, this also leads to higher customer satisfaction rates
because the quality of your work is better than ever. It’s a cyclical movement,
if you will, as the benefits trickle down to every other process and operation
your business handles.
Employee Productivity Increases
With many of the
repetitive and boring tasks automated, it frees up your workers to handle more
important and deserving projects. In fact, anywhere from 10 to 20 percent of
human work hours are spent on rote tasks. That’s a huge allotment of time that
could be freed up with automation and robotic systems.
Not to mention, when you
free up your employees’ time you help them conserve energy, focus, and
certainly improve their satisfaction. All of these things can help contribute
to higher productivity, which is now spent on alternate work, elevating the
business even higher.
Robotic Process Automation Is Transformative
RPA or systems that are
augmented with a form of automation — even software based — will completely
transform the world of business as we know it. They have a place in nearly
every industry in existence and can help improve output and efficiency well
beyond anything that’s ever been achieved before.
It makes for an
incredibly promising and exciting future. One that is sure to be advantageous
for everyone involved.
