The present application provides a business process automation method and device for use in the field of financial technology. The above is only an example and does not limit the application field of the method and device name provided in the present application.

[0037] With the rapid development of the financial industry, banking systems are facing increasingly complex business processes and growing data processing needs. Traditional manual operations are not only inefficient but also prone to errors, making it difficult to meet the requirements of modern banking services such as efficiency, accuracy, and security.

The business process automation platform includes an intelligent decision engine built by Python.

It should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the relevant invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0040] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A flowchart of a business process automation method provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:

[0041] S101: Build a business process automation platform based on the programming language Python and robotic process automation technology RPA.

[0042] As a high-level programming language, Python has been widely used in the field of automation with its concise syntax, rich library support and powerful community resources. Python is not only suitable for rapid development, but also can be easily integrated with various systems and services, making it an ideal choice for business process automation.

[0043] RPA, or Robotic Process Automation, automates business processes by using software robots to simulate and execute tasks originally performed by humans. These software robots can perform repetitive, rule-based tasks such as data entry, data extraction, data verification, etc., thereby significantly improving work efficiency and accuracy while reducing human errors and costs. RPA can achieve cross-system and cross-platform data processing and process control without modifying or integrating the original system. The introduction of RPA technology makes business process automation more flexible and efficient, and can quickly respond to changes in business needs.

[0044] The business process automation platform built on the programming language Python and the robotic process automation technology RPA combines the programming flexibility of Python with the non-invasive and easy-to-deploy features of RPA. As a widely used programming language, Python has a rich library and strong community support, which can quickly develop complex business logic. RPA is good at simulating human operations and automating highly repetitive tasks without making extensive modifications to existing systems. The combination of the two ensures the flexibility and scalability of the system while reducing the difficulty and cost of integration.

[0045] S102: Capture and process data through the Python data processing library and RPA to obtain processed data.

[0046] Combining Python's powerful data processing library (such as Pandas, NumPy, etc.) and RPA's data capture capabilities, the present invention can efficiently process the huge amount of data in the banking system. Python's data processing library provides a wealth of data analysis and mining tools, which can help banks deeply explore the value of business data; while RPA can automatically capture data from multiple data sources, providing rich materials for data analysis. It can improve the efficiency and accuracy of data processing and provide more powerful data support for business decision-making.

[0047] S103: Based on the intelligent decision engine, make a decision according to the processed data.

[0048] The intelligent decision engine written in Python and the automated execution capabilities of RPA can cover a wider range of business processes and achieve comprehensive automation from data capture, processing to decision execution. The intelligent decision engine can automatically judge and execute corresponding operations based on business rules and data characteristics, reducing manual intervention and improving the degree of automation. This can improve the speed and accuracy of business processing, reduce the risk of human errors, and release human resources to focus on higher-value tasks.

[0049] In addition, by using intelligent decision-making engines and business process optimization algorithms to realize automated decision-making of business processes, it is possible to reduce manual intervention and improve the degree of automation.

[0050] S104: Execute the decision.

[0051] In some implementations, Python's programming flexibility and RPA's flexible configuration capabilities can easily cope with frequently changing business needs. When business processes change, you can quickly adapt to new needs by modifying Python code or adjusting RPA scripts without having to restructure the entire platform on a large scale.

[0052] In some implementations, multiple security measures such as data encryption, access control, and log auditing can be used to ensure the security of sensitive data. At the same time, the non-invasive characteristics of Python and RPA also reduce potential threats to the security of existing systems. This can reduce the risk of data leakage and illegal access.

[0053] In the embodiment provided in this application, a business process automation platform is first constructed based on the programming language Python and the robotic process automation technology RPA, wherein the business process automation platform includes an intelligent decision engine constructed by Python, and then, data is captured and processed through the Python data processing library and RPA to obtain processed data, and then, based on the intelligent decision engine, a decision is made based on the processed data, and finally the decision is executed to realize the automation of the business process. In this way, business process automation can be realized by constructing a business process automation platform, and using the Python data processing library and RPA to capture and process data, and using the intelligent decision engine to make decisions.

[0054] The above are some specific implementations of the business process automation method provided by the embodiment of the present application.
