Robotic Process Automation [RPA] refers to software that can be easily programmed in robots to perform basic tasks as a human worker. It is designed to reduce the burden of repetitive simple tasks on employees.
About 70% to 80% of rule-based processes can be automated and approximately 10% to 20% of human work hours are spent on sluggish and repetitive computer tasks
Robotic process automation is highly useful in industries such as healthcare, BPO, manufacturing units and the agriculture sector as these industries follow defined, repeated, and rule-based processes.
