La Robotic Process Automation (RPA) è il campo che permette di configurare un software, detto “robot”, per emulare le azioni di un essere umano che interagisce con dei sistemi digitali per eseguire un processo aziendale. Il caso che riceve maggiori benefici dall'implementazione di RPA è quello di automazione totale di processi manuali, in particolare il focus è sui processi con caratteristiche come essere di natura ripetitiva ed essere inclini agli errori umani, ma anche l'automazione parziale può avere un impatto rivoluzionario. Integrando la robotic process automation con i servizi cognitivi, le sue potenzialità crescono notevolmente. È possibile integrare servizi quali l'analisi e l’interpretazione di documenti o l’esame e il riconoscimento di immagini. Questa integrazione permette di ampliare lo spettro dei flussi di lavoro gestibili, sia dal punto di vista della tipologia che della complessità del processo, riducendo quindi ulteriormente gli sforzi manuali. In questo lavoro di tesi studiamo un’applicazione concreta della Robotic Process Automation integrata con due servizi cognitivi basati su machine learning e intelligenza artificiale, che hanno consentito lo snellimento delle procedure svolte dal personale di un’azienda.

Abstract
The Robotic Process Automation is the field that allows you to configure software, called “robot”, to emulate the actions of a human being who interacts with digital systems to perform a business process. The case that receives the most benefits from the implementation of RPA is that of total automation of manual processes, in particular the focus is on processes with characteristics such as being repetitive in nature and being prone to human errors, but even partial automation can have a revolutionary impact. By integrating robotic process automation with cognitive services, its potential grows significantly. It is possible to integrate services such as the analysis and interpretation of documents or the examination and recognition of images. This integration enables to broaden the spectrum of manageable workflows, both from the point of view of the type and complexity of the process, thus further reducing manual efforts. In this thesis work we study a concrete application of Robotic Process Automation integrated with two cognitive services based on machine learning and artificial intelligence, which have enabled the streamlining of the procedures carried out by the staff of a company.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
