1. Utilization Methods

akaBOT can automate various workflows. From incorporating part of the workflow into RPA to fully automating the entire workflow, it can be done on a wide scale depending on the scope of the task. Here, we introduce the automation of workflows with three examples.

2. Utilization as Desktop Automation

This section introduces methods to automate part of a workflow using akaBot. By implementing such utilization methods, tasks freed up by efficiency can be allocated to other duties. For partial automation of workflows, robots need to be manually executed.

Example: When automating a part of Excel tasks within a workflow If "Task A" and "Task C" are performed manually and only "Task B" is automated in the workflow of "Tasks A, B, C," the akaBOT needs to be manually executed after completing Task A. 

3. Utilization as Robot Employees

This section introduces methods to automate workflows that humans are currently performing. By implementing such utilization methods, labor costs can be reduced and errors can be prevented. Workflow can be taught to robot employees, which can then operate automatically at scheduled times or operate 24/7. Those who previously performed the automated tasks can be reassigned to more meaningful tasks that only humans can do.

Example: When fully automating all tasks in a workflow When automating all tasks "Tasks A, B, C" within a workflow, setting the time for task execution allows the tasks to be performed automatically at the scheduled time. 

Tip: Since RPA performs taught tasks according to procedures, ensure that checks are performed by human eyes as necessary.

4. Utilization in System Integration Development

This section introduces methods to automate the transfer of system data. By implementing such utilization methods, it can be introduced at a lower cost compared to system development. In addition to reducing labor costs and preventing errors, it allows workflow automation without being restricted by the user interface (UI), which helps prevent irregularities such as stopping the automated tasks midway.

Example: When registering system data into kintone When automating all tasks "Tasks A, B, C" within a workflow and registering system data into an information aggregation tool in "Task C," not being restricted by the UI significantly reduces the work time.
