WSQ Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for Manufacturing
This course aims to equip participants with the skills to easily create useful RPA scripts to automate their own desktop processes, without coding or programming knowledge. They will learn how to achieve this through using RPA software such as UiPath. It is suitable for participants who wish to explore improving their productivity through the adoption of RPA to automate their mundane, repetitive and error prone desktop processes.
Robotic Process Automation is the application of technology that allows employees in a company to configure software or a “robot” to capture and interpret existing applications for processing a transaction, manipulating data, triggering responses and communicating with other digital system. This course will show how businesses can automate some of the internal process to bring about an improvement in productivity and get employees to move up the work value chain.
It satisfies the manufacturing sector needs of skilled workforce to integrate data or functions from one application program with that of another application program – involves development of an integration plan, programming and the identification and utilization of appropriate middleware to optimize the connectivity and performance of disparate applications across target environments.
At the end of the programme, learners will be able to:
- Appraise feasibility of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) through scanning and assessment for potential application integration.
- Create RPA to integrate data & functions and check connections across application program.
- Operate RPA to verify their functionalities across multiple or integrated platforms.
- Optimize on technical, compatibility or performance issues in application integration.
