Robotic Process Automation Projects

By: Nandan Mullakara, Arun Kumar Asokan

Overview of this book

Robotic Process automation helps businesses to automate monotonous tasks that can be performed by machines. This project-based guide will help you progress through easy to more advanced RPA projects. You’ll learn the principles of RPA and how to architect solutions to meet the demands of business automation, along with exploring the most popular RPA tools - UiPath and Automation Anywhere. In the first part, you’ll learn how to use UiPath by building a simple helpdesk ticket system. You’ll then automate CRM systems by integrating Excel data with UiPath. After this, the book will guide you through building an AI-based social media moderator using Google Cloud Vision API. In the second part, you’ll learn about Automation Anywhere's latest Cloud RPA platform (A2019) by creating projects such as an automated ERP administration system, an AI bot for order and invoice processing, and an automated emergency notification system for employees. Later, you’ll get hands-on with advanced RPA tasks such as invoking APIs, before covering complex concepts such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning in automation to take your understanding of RPA to the next level. By the end of the book, you’ll have a solid foundation in RPA with experience in building real-world projects.

Testing the automation 

Now, we can perform an end-to-end test to check whether the automation process works fine:

  1. Make sure the input folder contains the images to be checked for explicit content and that the ImageDetail.xlsx file is in the output folder with only header information.
  1. From UiPath Studio, run the automation process from the Main.xaml file. After the automation process completes, the ImageDetail.xlsx file will contain updated likelihoods and the images will have been moved to the Output folder:

Once the integration test passes, we can move the package to the orchestrator and schedule the job to run periodically for the administrator. Refer to Appendix B, which details how you can run and schedule bots from an orchestrator.
