Robotic Process Automation, RPA, Procesos de compraResumen
La Automatización Robótica de Procesos o Robotic Process Automation (RPA) es usado para la automatización de diversos procesos donde se tienen tareas que son repetitivas y que su ejecución demanda una gran cantidad de tiempo. El objetivo del presente artículo es presentar una aplicación de RPA en el proceso de compras de una empresa industrial del rubro cerámico. Los robots, de la implementación de la RPA, se desarrollaron usando Power Automate y son ejecutados en un entorno virtualizado usando Microsoft Azure. Los resultados obtenidos de la ejecución de los robots muestran que los procesos automatizados mejoran su rapidez en un 98.7% y presentan cero errores. Este desempeño, ha permitido liberar a los trabajadores de tareas repetitivas y tediosas asignándoles otras tareas. En ese sentido, la RPA se presenta como una tecnología que brinda a las organizaciones la oportunidad de incrementar la eficiencia de sus procesos a través de la reducción de tiempo, costos y cero errores en la operación.
