RPA for Manufacturing
Challenges of Manufacturing Industry:
- The manufacturing industry is a synonym to a lot of investment. When so much money is involved, it is obvious that there is no scope of any error in the business.
- Also, with customers increasing exponentially, processing and delivering the products on time and in bulk is very challenging for this industry. Hence, increased care has to be taken for inventory management as a small error in calculating inventory requirements may cost a huge loss to the company.
- As most of the deliveries can happen globally, a company has to keep a record of compliance in different cities and countries and be up-to-date with any changes in compliance. Data migration during updating compliance data or in general is a very time-consuming and error-prone area for the manual workforce.
- Hence, managing ERP systems, logistics teams, and customer support and feedback has become a very difficult task to maintain with the current manual workflows.
Our Solutions
Robotics Process Automation (RPA) is the next silver bullet in the Manufacturing industry. A manufacturing industry that wants to unbox the full potential of their production capacity, administration and management, should apparently consider using the RPA in their functional area.
Bill of Materials
An important record for production, Bill of Materials (BOM) has a long list of components, sub-components, raw materials and other products for the new product formation. The employees in manufacturing industry should refer the record document to get detailed data and information. Then they can able to get an idea of what to purchase, where to purchase, how to purchase and when to purchase. This is the most distressing part of the manufacturing industry. If any error happens, this will lead to an enormous loss in the industry. By using the RPA in this unit will give the organizations and companies a chance to create the product with; Better data accuracy, much faster, and this product formation should be completed on time.
Administration and reporting
The process of managing and running a manufacturing business is much difficult than what we think it is. Administration department doesn’t need to tackle all the process issues. Implementing RPA in administration department will help the industry to get all the reports about their production and also other work in their business. So, then they can take a decision to manage and run their business in very effective manner.
Customer Support and Service Desk
The important part in business that brings success is the customer service. And Robotics Process Automation (RPA) can be beneficial in the front office for enhanced communication with the customer. RPA will be used as an alert reminder while employee checks out with customers and also maintain the contact schedule and it will trigger to employees, if a customer has raised a complaint. In the front office, an employee should navigate multiple systems in real-time while answering single customer to access the multiple data from various systems. When setting up RPA, we can access multiple stored data at one place and with better customer service.
Data Migration
Data migration is moving data from an old system to newly restored system. RPA is the perfect choice for migration of data from one place to another. When a company acquires new business, they should have a book of their own business policy. Even the migration data for a small matter takes a long time and great costs. With proper preparation and presentation of the RPA will definitely reduce the long wait time and high costs too.
Logistics data automation
Every manufacturing industry has the Logistics department and that department manages the transportation of the completed products to their customers. If the transport management system integrated with RPA, it can provide enhanced services as faster it can.
While implementing RPA in Transport management system, we can supervise the effectiveness in the transportation of products; it will also reduce the human errors. When a company is having multiple shipper and multiple insurances, then RPA can give the report of which preferred option is giving the best cost, insurance and transportation time.
You can have the real time shipment tracking option in RPA, in the Transport Management System, this will give an improvised report to you and your customer of when will the products arrives and what are shipping charges.
ERP Automation
The assimilation of RPA in Enterprise resource planning (ERP) could be the next stage in planning resources. The reports, like storage level, Pricing, Accounts Payable and Receivable, and other reports are automatically created and you can upload it in a share point folder or automate them to send via email. In storage area, manufacturing employees can supervise the current stock level and notify ERP when the stock is low. Then ERP can automate them to reorder again. They can also mass update the stock keeping unit (SKU) automatically.
Web integrated RPA
A long established company might be having multiple branches of different factories and offices. That might be harder to manage the data in the particular system. While implementing RPA in this area, a manufacturing Industry can easily supervise the access and update any alterations in the web-connected systems. This reduces the communication time wasted between one areas of the branch to another.
