Industry Background

Most Chinese manufacturing enterprises' informationization construction is still in the basic automation stage, facing problems such as information silos between systems, lack of top-level design, construction of multiple chimney-type vertical applications, and high degree of customization or difficulty in promoting enterprise management software. Maintaining competitiveness in the global economy, reducing costs, improving efficiency and increasing productivity have become the general consensus in the manufacturing industry. As a key enabler of digital transformation within the manufacturing industry, robotic process automation (RPA) technology can effectively simplify and optimize complex back-office operational processes, helping companies to reduce costs and improve efficiencies, and manufacturers can achieve tangible ROI within weeks. To overcome these pain points, the manufacturing industry is also actively turning to automation. RPA software for the robotics manufacturing industry has outstanding advantages. As the digital transformation of the manufacturing industry continues to advance, the digitization of enterprise production processes and the intelligence of management processes are gradually being realized. According to ISG research, RPA technology allows for a 43% reduction in resources required for order-to-cash processes, a 34% reduction in invoice processing, and a 32% reduction in vendor management.

Typical Scenarios for Digital Workforce in Manufacturing

Performing Bill of Materials Creation and Updates

Bill of Materials (BOM) is a crucial data file in manufacturing industry, which was previously done manually, now people can automate BOM creation and updating using RPA, successfully avoiding costly human errors and automating the BOM process, which greatly improves efficiency, saves labor and improves BOM accuracy.

Supplier Key Data Maintenance

Manufacturers need to review and centrally manage supplier information, and RPA can automatically capture data from pending process forms, summarize them, complete process approvals, and automatically enter supplier master data, record the results, and send them to the data specialist, a process that takes only 10 minutes and saves about 2,640 minutes per month.

Easy Data Communication

Daily communication between suppliers, customers, and internal staff requires a lot of manual work, and RPA robots can automate a variety of inquiries, including the status of goods shipped, freeing up customer service staff from a stream of tedious tasks to focus on serving suppliers and customers.

Automated Updating of Logistics Data

Manufacturing companies typically involve a large amount of internal and external movement of goods, and RPA can be integrated with transportation management systems to efficiently monitor the movement of products.RPA robots help manufacturers track inventory and delivery schedules in real time, ensuring tasks are completed on time and human error is reduced.

Inventory Management

The inventory control process is critical and is at the heart of supply chain management. Manufacturers need to monitor inventory levels in real time to ensure that customer demand is met, and RPA helps automate a variety of functions, including current inventory monitoring, generation of inventory level notifications, and reordering of products when levels fall below a set threshold.

Invoice Preprocessing

RPA can categorize and summarize the automatic pending invoice data for processing, automatically log in and prepare invoices according to different purchase order types with reference to the corresponding rules. After adopting RPA, it can save 2-3 laborers per month, and the efficiency has been greatly improved.
