What is a process automation system?

A process automation system makes handling small (but important) tasks a lot more efficient. They help businesses in a variety of ways which we’ll delve deeper into in this blog. We’ll go into more detail around some use cases of a process automation system, and help you understand if your actually need one.

Do you need a process automation system?

A process automation system isn’t just for one kind of industry, they are beneficial to many established and growing businesses. We mainly focus on solutions for production and logistic companies.

A good question to ask yourself in relation to these kinds of systems is this:

‘Do you, or others in your organisation, have to do perform easy repetitive tasks often?’

If you’ve immediately thought ‘oh yes’, then perhaps you’re in the market for investing into a process automation system. Getting a machine to do things like this has loads of added benefits which we’ll talk a bit more about now.

Ways they’re beneficial

They make compliance easier to maintain

If you’re in an industry, such as construction, that requires strict compliance legislation to be followed then a solution like this would be very beneficial.

It’s easy for someone to miss out a vital check or do it incorrectly, but getting a computer to do this means there’s less chance of this – leading on to our next advantage.

Reduce number of mistakes

Humans are very prone to making errors, but an automated process doing these tasks reduces this likelihood. You might also find that these tasks are more accurate in their readings, for things like temperature monitoring for example as this automated process has more time to check properly (instead of being rushed by an already busy individual).

Improvement in productivity

As mentioned earlier, giving repetitive jobs to a process frees up time that would have been spent on these tasks. This means that the people within the organisation can get to what they do best, focusing on the most important things that keep the business working as it should.

Save your business money

Whilst it does require an initial investment to get started, your automation system will eventually save you money in the long run. The time that wasn’t best spent by employees on simple tasks means that their hard work will focus more on driving profits!
