RPA + IoT: Automation Beyond the Screen
How to take your RPA initiatives to the next level.
You’ve probably heard about Robotic Process Automation (RPA) by now
It’s the software that can automate repetitive, mind-numbing tasks humans do on computers. This could be adding data to a spreadsheet, processing orders, or even translating the exhange of information between different systems. RPA makes businesses faster, more efficient, and frees up employees for work that actually requires human thinking. But here’s the kicker: most companies are only scratching the surface of the true potential that RPA can deliver.
Let's talk about how IoT supercharges RPA.
Some real-world scenarios.
IoT is RPA for the Physical World™. We’re not just talking about saving time on computer tasks. Imagine if we could take those same automation principles and apply them to real-world scenarios that have nothing to do with a computer.
Here are a few examples:
Fire Extinguisher Inspections, Simplified
Right now, service and inspection companies send employees to manually inspect fire extinguishers in office buildings every month. It’s time-consuming, costly, and labor-intensive. But what if there were sensors on each fire extinguisher that automatically reported their status in real-time? Now, the employee only visits the ones that need attention. The rest? Covered by hourly inspections from the sensors. That’s the power of IoT-driven RPA.
Checking inventory levels automatically
Imagine your factory relies on chemicals and raw materials stored in tanks and bulk bins. Right now, someone on your team manually checks those levels every day to ensure you’re not running low. It’s repetitive, time-consuming, and easy to miss a critical shortage. With IoT-driven RPA, we take that task off their plate. Sensors automatically monitor those inventory levels and send real-time updates straight to your replenishment ordering system. No more guesswork. No more running out of materials. Just streamlined efficiency, allowing your employees to focus on higher-value tasks.
Rodent Trap Management, Reinvented
Got a 500-acre ranch with 2,500 rodent traps to check regularly? Instead of manually inspecting every trap every month, smart rodent traps with IoT sensors could alert the ranch hand when a trap needs to be emptied. Time saved. Money saved. All thanks to IoT-enabled RPA.
With ObjectSpectrum’s Prism platform, we can automate these routine, physical tasks that businesses often overlook. It’s the same efficiency RPA brings to the digital world, but now, we’re doing it out in the real world.
87% of companies using RPA are only tapping into 50% of its benefits.
And, 90% of repetitive tasks and site visits could be eliminated by IoT-powered solutions.
Why You Need IoT-Enhanced RPA
RPA is powerful, but IoT-driven RPA is revolutionary. It’s time to stop thinking of automation as just a tool for the digital realm and start seeing its potential to reshape how your business operates in the physical world.
