Benefits of technology

The patent describes a system and method for creating a visual representation of a process automation implementation using robotic process automation (RPA). The process involves mining data from different sources, such as process mining, task mining, or task capture, to create the enterprise process graph. The graph is then output for display, transmission, or storage. The technical effect of this patent is the ability to efficiently analyze and visualize the complex process automation implementation using RPA.

Problems solved by technology

However, the individual analysis of the results of such techniques does not provide a unified understanding of the enterprise's processes as a whole.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]Robotic process automation (RPA) is used for automating workflows and processes. FIG. 1 is an architectural diagram of an RPA system 100, in accordance with one or more embodiments. As shown in FIG. 1, RPA system 100 includes a designer 102 to allow a developer to design automation processes. More specifically, designer 102 facilitates the development and deployment of RPA processes and robots for performing activities in the processes by a user (e.g., an administrator). Designer 102 may provide a solution for application integration, as well as automating third-party applications, administrative Information Technology (IT) tasks, and business processes for contact center operations. One commercial example of an embodiment of designer 102 is UiPath Studio™.

[0022]In designing the automation of rule-based processes, the developer controls the execution order and the relationship between a custom set of steps developed in a process, defined herein as “activities.” Each activity m...

Abstract

Systems and methods for generating an enterprise process graph are provided. Sets of process data relating to an implementation of RPA (robotic process automation) acquired using a plurality of discovery techniques is received. An enterprise process graph representing the implementation of RPA is generated based on the received sets of process data.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates generally to RPA (robotic process automation), and more particularly to enterprise process graphs providing a unified representation of process data relating to an implementation of RPA acquired using a plurality of discovery techniques.BACKGROUND[0002]Processes are comprised of sequences of activities executed by one or more computers to provide various services. In RPA (robotic process automation), one or more RPA robots are implemented to automatically execute processes for an enterprise. Typically, data relating to the implementation of RPA is collected by performing a number of discovery techniques, such as, e.g., process mining, task mining, task capture, process discovery, etc. Conventionally, results of such techniques are individually analyzed to evaluate RPA. However, the individual analysis of the results of such techniques does not provide a unified understanding of the enterprise's processes as a whole.BRIEF SUMMARY OF ...
