Manufacturing companies are transitioning their production units from human labor to industrial robots for tasks such as assembly, quality control, and packaging. While these robots help maintain the assembly line, companies still face challenges in managing operational processes and back-office work. Forward-thinking manufacturing leaders are adopting Robotic Process Automation to enhance output and productivity.
Robotics Process Automation can address each of these manufacturing challenges:

Scalability and Flexibility |
|
New Product Introduction (NPI) Timescales |
|
Managing Complex Processes and Databases Manually |
|
Administrative Work in Order Fulfillment, Production, and Shipping |
|
Inability to Handle Many Interconnected Systems |
|
Unwillingness to Adopt New Age Systems and Technological Advancements |

The future is automation, and RPA will guide you toward improvements in many areas. Manufacturers can integrate bots or co-bots on the production floor, encompassing various parts of the order fulfillment, production, and shipping processes, as well as back-office operations. By adopting RPA, manufacturers can achieve significant improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and overall operational performance, positioning themselves better in the competitive market.
A typical rule-based process can be up to 70%-80% automated. RPA bots handle rule-based repetitive tasks and minimize the need for human interference. Continuously monitor machine performance data, identifying potential issues before they lead to breakdowns, enabling predictive maintenance, and reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Furthermore, you can automatically schedule maintenance activities based on data analysis to ensure minimal disruption to production schedules.
The integration of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with your existing ERP system offers significant advantages for manufacturing enterprises, enhancing operational efficiency and streamlining processes. By implementing RPA, companies can automate manual tasks and processes that are typically performed manually, freeing up valuable time for employees to focus on more strategic activities.
For manufacturers that do not yet have an ERP system in place, we offer comprehensive services to build and implement one. Our end-to-end solutions cover everything from initial consultation and system design to deployment and ongoing support. Additionally, we specialize in Salesforce and Microsoft Business Central, providing tailored solutions to meet your specific needs and requirements
