RPA in manufacturing: Streamlining production to enhance productivity and quality

Michael Conlin2024-04-15T08:48:25-04:00

Looking toward the future, the evolution of RPA in manufacturing—especially when paired with AI (automation that integrates with machine learning)—will revolutionize the sector. It will far transcend looking at processes and making them better and more efficient. Instead, it will reinvent the toolbox and pave the way for predictive maintenance, enhanced decision-making capabilities, and smart factories. Those manufacturing organizations that embrace it and do it well will define the future.

Empowering employees: RPA, job satisfaction, and work-life balance

Michael Conlin2023-07-21T11:11:06-04:00

While concerns about automation replacing human workers remain, organizations are increasingly turning to Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to streamline operations, improve efficiency, and drive productivity. In the process, they’re learning that not only is RPA not replacing human workers, but that RPA, job satisfaction, and work-life balance are closely related. As people are tasked with more meaningful work, they feel happier, more valued, and more productive.

Unleash opportunity: The top 5 benefits of Robotic Process Automation

Michael Conlin2024-04-10T14:20:19-04:00

At some point, most of us work on autopilot. We think, as we click “Ctrl+C” then “Ctrl+V” again and again: “There has to be a better way to do this.” And there is, and not only is it better, it's easier, cost effective, and quick to implement. Here are the top 5 benefits of Robotic Process Automation.

What should I automate?

Michael Conlin2023-05-05T13:26:21-04:00

Oftentimes, the RPA proof of concept (PoC) process focuses on the following question: what should I automate to demonstrate value? And that's great. After all, that's the point of a PoC. However, value sometimes gets deprioritized in favor of ease and speed, which is a mistake. Because if you want to prove value, both ROI and impact need to be high. Easy is great...but only if effective.

A minute saved, a minute earned: RPA is worth the cost

Michael Conlin2023-04-24T12:51:28-04:00

Most businesses typically measure the value or worth of technology solutions by standard return on investment (ROI) calculation. This can easily be done with RPA. However, looking at value from another angle uncovers the true potential of RPA and why it is worth bringing into your organization regardless of the (still significant) ROI calculation.

Four cybersecurity operations you can automate

Michael Conlin2023-02-14T12:06:03-05:00

Most CIOs expect their involvement in cybersecurity to increase over the course of 2023. Many use artificial intelligence applications for IT operations (AIOps) and security operations (SecOps) to continuously improve the security posture of their organizations. However, few of these tools enable end-to-end security operations automation, and teams are being stretched thin. Automation can support full-scale SOAR across a number of areas, including: identity lifecycle, threat detection and prevention, incident response, and audit and compliance.

Poet Marge Piercy may make the best case for Robotic Process Automation (RPA)—without ever intending to. It allows people to be of use by returning them to work that is real. How? By encouraging the use of technology as it was intended—to accomplish more, easier, without error, and at a quicker pace.

Toxic data: You own it…unless you can prove you don’t

Michael Conlin2023-01-30T15:22:54-05:00

Data is a valued asset that can propel growth. How you collect and store it can create a risk profile you don’t fully understand—with potentially negative consequences. That’s why you need to assume you have toxic data until you can prove you can’t.
