HKPC
held a webinar named “How can Machine Learning and AI in RPA solution
accelerate digital automation?” on 9th Oct 2020. Robotic process automation (RPA) has proven
as a money saving tool by automation which can reduce human errors and improve
efficiency. Before the webinar, Ms.
Vanessa Chin (Senior Consultant, Intelligent Enterprise, HKPC) was facilitator
and introduced the schedule and speaker.
Mr.
Greg Wong (Director of Analytics, Platform & Technology, Centre of
Excellence, SAP Greater China) was the guest speark. He shared his success story on AI in Robotic
process automation (RPA) (It is a software robot).
In
the beginning, Mr. Wong briefed the capability of RPA what it can do and can’t
do. One of good example to employ RPA in
airlines industry during COVID-19. The airline built an RPA “bot” in just six
days and this bot was able to address 80% of the airline’s cancellation
requests or about 4000 per day! (equal
to at least 6000 manhours of work)
Then
Mr. Wong showed some evidence that RPA is growing significantly. Robotic process automation adoption looks
strong in a post-COVID-19 said by Mr. Wong.
And then he discussed which department in company to provide most value
using RPA. He said most valuable to use
in finance department (excel related), data extraction, and external web site
data collection.
However,
initial RPA project fail rate was high upto 30% to 50%. There were two key problems that too much
complexity and fail to Scale. And then
he introduced the overlapping area between RPA and AI. It aimed the outcome to give out-of-the-box
solution. Some red flags in RPA were
discussed such as OCR, Workflow
After
that Mr. Wong introduced SAP Intelligent RPA + SAP Cash Application (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOoYX-GAZeE)
Finally,
Mr. Wong introduced the business technology platform for integration of
processes using RPA.
And
he demonstrated the Celonis Process Mining for Accounts Payable process. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwryDeicpsU)
Lastly,
Mr. Wong shared some tips to initiate RPA project and alerted to reserve enough
time for accident and avoiding OCR.
