| | July 20198he usage of physical robots in manufacturing industry is a decade old story now. With the advent of new era technologies, manufacturing industries ascend a step further to automate the business processes which at times is herculean task to perform and results into huge operational and administrative cost. The Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an integral part of Industry 4.0 revolution and has proven immensely beneficial for the manufacturing organizations to enhance operational efficiency and productivity with accelerated performance, thus, leads to a substantial reduction in operational and administrative costs. The process bots are designed to orchestrate multiple processes and tasks seamlessly with a guided operative instructions or on a self-reliant framework to cater almost all the manual repetitive operations that most of the business functions execute on day-to-day basis.The Power of RPA ­ FeaturesAgility- The philosophy of RPA is based on agile framework which enables the solution to deploy very fast in any diversified environments and across myriad applications. Unlike traditional automation software, RPA synergies within the ecosystem in weeks and starts working to the optimal potential to add significant value proposition to the organization's ROI.Flexible - The flexible framework underneath of RPA enhances the adoptability of the process bots with no | minimal change in the prevailing business processes. The simplicity in working principle of RPA and Visual process designer makes it easy to espouse by business users without understanding the complexity/algorithm of RPA.Secure & Compliant - RPA has been designed based on the enterprise security framework (AES & TLS and many more) which enforce a high security measures for the process bots and ensures the compliance aspects. In any of its form - `On-Premise', `Public Cloud', `Private Cloud' or `Hybrid model', the RPA is highly secure and ensures business continuity to the fullest possible extent.Catalyst of Digital Transformation ­RPA is the poten-tial catalyst of digital transformation for the manufactur-ing enterprises. This disruptive technology can be used to bring a sea change to the organization by transposing repetitive work to software bots and encourage employees for the productive innovation.A Mandate or Hype ­ Crucial Business BenefitsIn today's age of Digital Transformation, manufacturing industries, too, strives for operational excellence in optimal operational and administrative cost. Industry 4.0 which conceptualizes an integrated system, is a perfect orchestration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) - which could bring a sea change to almost all the facets of business operations. This disruptive technology of RPA has become an utmost crucial element today in the manufacturing world where the organizations are more focused towards productive innovations than ever and transpose the repetitive business processes to RPA.TIN MY OPINIONROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION IN MANUFACTURING ENTERPRISESBy Partha Mondal, Vice President - Information Technology, Atul Ltd.Partha Mondal
