Screen Scraping
Screen Scraping is the technique of extracting data from the screen display of legacy systems where APIs or other methods of data retrieval are not available.
Orchestration
Orchestration in RPA is the coordinated management of multiple bots and processes, often involving an orchestration tool to ensure that tasks are carried out seamlessly and efficiently.
MetaBots
MetaBots in Automation Anywhere are the building blocks for scalable automation, allowing users to create reusable automation components that can be used across multiple applications and tasks.
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)
Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) combines RPA with AI to capture, extract and process data from various document types, including those with unstructured formats like emails and images.
Exception Handling
Exception Handling in RPA refers to defining what happens when an error or unprecedented event occurs during a bot's operation, ensuring the process can continue or stop gracefully.
Unattended Automation
Unattended Automation involves RPA bots that operate without human intervention. They can be scheduled or triggered by events and usually handle batch processes.
Digital Workforce
In RPA, the Digital Workforce refers to a pool of bots designed to work alongside humans to enhance productivity and efficiency. They can be scaled up or down according to demand.
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Natural Language Processing (NLP) in RPA is the integration of the ability to understand and process human language, which allows bots to perform tasks such as chat interactions or processing unstructured data.
RPA Developer
An RPA Developer is a professional responsible for designing, developing, and implementing RPA systems. They write automation scripts and ensure the bots function correctly within a workflow.
RPA
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the technology that allows anyone to configure computer software to emulate and integrate the actions of a human interacting within digital systems to execute a business process.
Process Mining
Process Mining is a technique that uses specialized data mining algorithms to analyze business processes based on event logs and find bottlenecks or inefficiencies that can be automated.
Programming Logic
In RPA, Programming Logic refers to the set of instructions that determine how the software bots will automate tasks. It includes decision-making, looping, and branching.
Computer Vision
Computer Vision in RPA is the use of machine learning algorithms to interpret and understand the visual information from a computer screen in order to automate tasks that require visual cognition.
Bot
In RPA, a bot is a software application that is programmed to do certain tasks automatically. They are commonly used to automate repetitive tasks that are rule-based and involve structured data.
Workflow Automation
Workflow Automation is the use of RPA tools to create a sequence of tasks that lead to the execution of a complex business process without human intervention.
Scalability
Scalability in RPA refers to the ability to increase or decrease the number of bots running to meet the processing needs of the business quickly and with minimal impact on operations.
UiPath
UiPath is a leading RPA tool used to automate Windows desktop applications. It provides a platform for organizations to efficiently automate business processes.
RPA Governance
RPA Governance is the framework for managing and monitoring the robotic process automation environment within an organization, ensuring the RPA strategy aligns with business objectives and compliance standards.
Cognitive Automation
Cognitive Automation refers to the next stage of RPA that involves adding layers of intelligent processing using AI technologies, enabling bots to handle complex and non-standardized tasks.
AI and Machine Learning
AI and Machine Learning in RPA involve using advanced algorithms to enable bots to handle complex tasks, learn from data patterns, and improve over time, thus extending RPA capabilities.
Automation Anywhere
Automation Anywhere is an RPA tool that enables businesses to automate end-to-end business operations for increased efficiency. It uses software bots to automate repetitive tasks.
Selectors
Selectors are RPA elements that uniquely identify objects or elements on a user interface, such as buttons or text fields, allowing bots to interact with them accurately during the automation.
Work Queue
In RPA, a Work Queue is a collection of tasks that need to be completed by bots. It enables load leveling and is often used to distribute tasks among multiple bots.
Attended Automation
Attended Automation refers to a scenario where RPA bots work alongside human employees, assisting them with tasks when required. These bots are usually invoked by the user.
Desktop Automation
Desktop Automation refers to the automation of tasks on a single computer or desktop, as opposed to server or web-based automation. It's used for personal or small-scale automation projects.
Blue Prism
Blue Prism is an RPA software that allows for the automation of manual, rule-based, back-office administrative processes, creating a virtual workforce powered by software robots.
Process Discovery
Process Discovery is the phase in RPA where potential processes for automation are identified and documented. This involves assessing the current workflow to determine a business case for RPA.
Scripting Language
Scripting Language in RPA is used to write scripts or small programs that can automate tasks. Common scripting languages in RPA include VBScript, JavaScript, and Python.
Task Bots
Task Bots are RPA bots designed to perform repetitive and routine tasks using rule-based operations. They can complete tasks such as data entry, form filling, and simple data manipulations.
Recorders
Recorders in RPA are tools that capture user actions on the interface, such as clicking and typing, to generate automation scripts which can be replayed or customized.
