What would you bring to the table if you didn’t have to worry about tedious tasks in your company? Maybe it’s time to start asking yourself these questions before it’s too late.
In a few words, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) refers to the automation of processes through robots. It can be use in any type of industry that manages information technology (IT).
Here you’ll learn about some of its applications and advantages that they offer to your business and your professional career.
Advantages and Uses of RPA
RPA has a structure that can be divided in two parts. The first one is a digital entry of structured data, and the second one a logic of process based on established rules and conditions, which will allow the robot to act in consequence to the data received automatically. Incredible! Right?
For this reason, this software allows you to perform transactional tasks in any IT application. This was one of the tasks that used to be done manually by a person, but now there are robots that can save us the tedious work, so we can dedicate time to more important tasks.

For instance, something as simple as checking mail by mail the number of confirmations to an event had to be manually checked, and that wasted valuable time. With RPA technology you can work on something else and only answer the mails that need human intervention.
As you can imagine, RPA has a lot of uses, since it can undertake any task sequence that implies opening mails, entering apps, read database, access files, perform calculations, fill forms and many of the every day tasks of any industry.
Some advantages are:
- More speed on the processes.
- It works 365 days a year 24/7.
- Can be replicated to obtain more speed.
- Can work from anywhere.
- Minimize error probability.
Digital Transformation
"Back then, it was science fiction to think that you could have a thousand mobile robots running around 24-7. Now, of course, people are wanting to leverage it for not just distribution but for manufacturing." Raffaello D'Andrea
Adopting RPA technology is essential to transform and update any company. Even though many people are skeptical because they think that many jobs will be lost, manufacturing industries are already introducing robots to their business, since they know it’s not a war between machines and humans for a job, but a redistribution of tasks.

The implementation of RPA is an advantage for the collaborators, who can now focus in more specialized tasks like:
- Creating strategies.
- Resolving possible problems.
- Propose creative upgrades inside the company.
- Manage the exceptions in the automated processes.
This is exactly what a company expects from its collaborators now that robots can take care of the automated tasks.
RPA will change the job profiles for companies in the near future, just like careers and master’s degrees that are offered. It’s a job loss, but a low demanding and boring job loss. Now human capital can focus on more gratifying and exciting activities inside the industry.
