Top 10: Robotic Process Automation Companies

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) uses software robots to automate repetitive, rule-based tasks, just like a human would. This frees up manufacturers to deal with activities which are safe, more enjoyable and need human attention.

Manufacturing companies across the world are utilising RPA to speed up production and keep their employees safe and engaged with their work. 

Here are our Top 10 RPA companies.

In the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, such as the Industrial Internet of Things and intelligent automation, these technologies are used to power efficient machinery and factories, by offering manufacturers the visibility and transparency they require to lower their emissions and meet customer expectations. 

SAP’s Intelligent RPA is an automation solution where any developer can build intelligent bots to automate manual processes which are repetitive or dangerous. It was first launched in 2018, at TechEd Las Vegas and later released to the public in 2019, allowing enterprises to streamline processes in areas from the supply chain to data management to sales order management.

1. IBM

It is based in Armonk, New York, and provides smart manufacturing solutions that use AI, IoT and advanced analytics to improve quality control, enable predictive maintenance and support supply chain management. 

IBM’s RPA offering helps users automate more business and IT processes at scale with the ease and speed of traditional RPA. Software robots can act on AI insights to complete tasks with no lag time and enable businesses to achieve digital transformation. Its use-cases range from automatic invoice emission, system integration, information reconciliation and report generation.

IBM’s research has shown that after deploying IBM Robotic Process Automation for a composite organisation, a three-year 124% ROI was modelled by a 2021 Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ study. In addition, the implementation of IBM Robotic Process Automation fully paid for itself in 16 months.
