The Utilization of Internet of Things (IoT) in the Field of Robotics Process Automation

Abstract

This book chapter explores the symbiotic relationship between robotics process automation (RPA) and the internet of things (IoT) and their practical applications in modern enterprises. RPA's ability to automate mundane tasks and IoT's real-time data collection from interconnected devices form a powerful duo. Through case studies and real-world examples, the authors showcase how this integration is reshaping industries such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and agriculture. The chapter underscores the role of RPA in processing IoT-generated insights for swift decision-making and operational optimization. RPA, renowned for its prowess in automating repetitive and rule-based tasks, offers operational efficiency, reduced errors, and cost savings. IoT, on the other hand, connects the physical and digital realms, furnishing real-time data from interconnected devices. It investigates the myriad applications of these technologies across industries and examines how their integration can redefine business processes and decision-making paradigms.
