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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to use AI with RPA for document processing. 

Processing documents such as purchase orders and invoices is one of the common yet difficult problems that arises when it comes to automation. So, in this chapter, we looked at how to crack that problem with AI.

Once AI has processed these documents into structured data, it opens up many automation use cases for downstream processing. For example, invoice data output could be entered into the Apptivo application, which we used previously in this book.

Now that we have come this far, we encourage you to try out what you've learned for yourself. In fact, there are many more use cases that you can automate based on the projects we completed in this book. 

This is the last chapter in this book. We had great fun creating these projects and have included provided the code on GitHub. We hope you've enjoyed working on the projects as much as we've enjoyed guiding you through them. We...
