Today’s business environments face rapid digital transformation, engendering the continuous emerging of new technologies. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is one of the new technologies rapidly and increasingly grabbing the attention of businesses. RPA tools allow mimicking human tasks by providing a virtual workforce, or digital workers in the form of software bots, for automating manual, high-volume, repetitive, and routine tasks. The goal is to allow human workers to delegate their tedious routine tasks to a software bot, thus allowing them to focus on more difficult tasks. RPA tools are simple and very powerful, according to cost-saving and other performance metrics. However, the main challenge of RPA implementation is to effectively determine the business tasks suitable for automation. This paper provides a methodology for selecting candidate tasks for robotic process automation based on user interface logs and process mining techniques.

Integrating livestock management with the required devices and sensors is now seen as a critical factor in the agricultural sector’s long-term success. The findings revealed that the agricultural business sector is open to implementing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions, so the aim of this paper is to determine how advantageous it is for Romanian farmers to invest in a project that employs smart cattle farming methods that incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and the Internet of Things (IOT). An unstructured interview was used to gather empirical evidence during a focus group meeting. Analyzing the selected primary performance metrics, it was projected that the farm’s profitability would increase by 19 percent, productivity would increase by 21 percent, and the farm’s environmental impact would decrease by 22 percent. Automation and remote work would help minimize the farm’s worker burden while also making control panels, decision-making files, and data analysis more available. In order for the domain to be as prosperous as possible, farmers must be made aware of the benefits of using these emerging technologies for closing the gap between farmers and Information Technology (IT) solution providers, and this can be accomplished through continuous training for both farmers and their technology vendors.

Nowadays, Information Technology (IT) is part of virtually every business, and companies that cannot keep the pace with new technologies will disappear over time. Due to their nature of specific activities and exceeding other areas, professional accounting and auditing services can improve their performance through Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Furthermore, RPA can contribute to increasing the credibility of the accounting profession, as well as streamlining the activity in order to comply with the requirements imposed by professional standards but with much lower costs. This study is based on a review of the literature and through an exploratory approach opens a discussion on the concept of RPA and customises it in the field of professional accounting services by analysing robotics models specific to accounting and audit.

After the age of 60 years or older many people are diagnosed with heart related issues to follow up older patients, bedridden, who needs maximum care at their homes implementation of phone monitoring becomes necessary. According to study many heart patients are supposed to have a regular check up to keep a track on their physiological data. Health care is a ground that is rapidly developing in services and technology. A recent development in this region is remote monitoring of patients which has many benefits in a fast-aging world population with increasing health complications. Sensors are used to monitor essentials or vital requirements such as heartbeat, blood pressure, temperature, blood glucose level and many more. Remote monitoring varies for every age group and every aspect. During pandemic times its difficult for many of them to move around, thus remote monitoring of patients helps to have a safer and efficient way to monitor them and also saves time. These new technologies can make a contact-less and monitor illness based on the sensor values. To make remote monitoring more efficient automation places a vital role. In health sector, to make any process automated RPA (Robotic process automation) is used. Using the established application software robots automate the process originally performed by human beings. This paper focuses on easy way to monitor patients who are in a distant place, have a regular check-up without visiting the doctor regularly and in case of emergency contact the doctor within no time.

Abstract This paper robotic process automation is highlighted in modern business environments to understand about the progression of robotic process automation and how robotic process automation has brought changes to the world of business. Adoption of robotic process automation tools has raised lots of questions, but their deployment in a business has changed the outcome of the return on investment in a business by reducing cost and time taken on repetitive tasks. The paper is differentiating robotic process automation bot from artificial intelligence and robotics for the better understanding of lay audience. The paper also gives an insight about futuristic aspects of robotic process automation and robotic process automation 2.0.

Achieving operational efficiency is a concern for the financial institutions especially banks. Robotic process automation is software that can be used to automate repetitive, rule-based processes. Employees in the bank’s back-office operations deal with high-volume of data every day. RPA is a new wave of technologies that is true to be adopted to improve efficiency, accuracy, productivity and reduce the operational costs. The purpose of this study is to expose the development of robotic process automation (RPA) within the bank for the efficiency of back-office operation processes. The survey was established as collected primary data for Bank’s employees to introduce RPA and analyses the current state of back-office operational. Additionally, interview was conducted within to identify the requirements of developing RPA based on the bank’s needs. Also, the challenges of adopting RPA has been analyzed within the present environment of the bank. The secondary data were collected from literature reviews on the RPA benefits and it is successful implementation within banking industry in order to highlight the positive implication of developing RPA and support primary data collected. The results indicate to develop RPA, the bank needs to analyses the basic requirements and overcome the challenges that would obstruct the developing of RPA. Also, bank should spread the knowledge of RPA with its benefits and involve the employees for the developments and training. This research will help the banks in Oman to make decisions on moving towards automation and digitalization to improve their quality of products/services that can be achieved by having efficient back-office processes.

Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) adoption is increasing globally for human development because of its potential affect in many aspects of economic and societal activities such as GDP growth, employment, productivity, poverty alleviation, quality of life, education, clean water and sanitation, clean energy, and healthcare. Adoption of new technologies has been the main challenge in rural areas and is the main reason for the growing gap between rural and urban economy. The work related ICT use have also yielded mixed results; some studies show the individual’s perceived work-family conflict, negative cognitive responses e.g. techno stress while others show increased productivity, improved job satisfaction and work-family balance due to flexible work timings. This paper attempts to understand the role of ICT in human development areas of health, education and citizen empowerment taking into consideration of digital divide which exists in geographic area and within the communities through literature review.
