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.

Moving processed images to the Output folder 

The last step in this project is to move the processed images to the output folder. We will use a similar method to the one we used in the BuildExcelList workflow to read the files in the input folder and move them to the output folder:

  1. We'll start by adding a new sequence in Main that we will call Move Processed Images to Output Folder Sequence.
  2. Next, we'll add two variables to read in the information for the files in the input folder:  
    • strFilename variable of the String type. Set the scope to Try-Catch.
    • strFileInfo variable of the FileInfo type. Set the scope to Try-Catch.
  1. Let's add a For Each activity to step through the files. We will iterate for each item in Directory.GetFiles(strInputFolder). This will iterate through all the files in the input folder.
  2. Next, add two Assign activities to get the file information and filename from the object. Assign strFileInfo...
