What is RPA (Robotic Process Automation)?

Réponse

RPA is a software robot technology that mimics human actions in application interfaces: clicks, data entry, copying between systems. Unlike API integration, RPA works on top of existing software without changing code. Market leaders: UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism. AppStar implements RPA with up to 91% time savings.

How RPA Works

RPA robots record user action sequences and replay them automatically. Three types:

  • Attended RPA — works alongside employees, assists with routine
  • Unattended RPA — runs autonomously on schedule or triggers
  • Intelligent RPA — uses AI for non-standard decisions

Applications

  • Banking: application processing, KYC checks, reporting
  • Insurance: policy processing (RESO — 200K+ policies)
  • Accounting: data entry, reconciliations, 1C exports
  • HR: onboarding, timesheets, payroll

RPA Advantages

  • No changes to existing systems required
  • Implementation in 3-6 weeks
  • 200-500% ROI in the first year
  • Works 24/7 without errors

Questions fréquentes

Is RPA the same as AI?+
No. Basic RPA follows rules without intelligence. Intelligent RPA (iRPA) adds AI for exception handling. AppStar implements both.
How much does an RPA robot cost?+
From $2,500 for a simple robot to $12,000+ for complex RPA solutions. UiPath/AA licenses are separate.
