2. Types of BOTS  Unattended Automation Attended Automation Hybrid RPA

3. Unattended Automation:   Ideal for reducing work like completing data processing tasks in the background. They don’t require any human intervention. Unattended automation can be triggered in the following ways: data entry at a specified location, bot startup, orchestrator startup, specified intervals.

4. Attended Automation These bots live on the user’s machine and are triggered by the user. Attended automation is best suited for jobs that are triggered at points that are difficult to detect programmatically.

5. Hybrid RPA This is a combination of attended and unattended bots.   These bots address front- and back-office tasks in the enterprise. 

6. UiPath UiPath is a highly extensible Robotic Process Automation tool that helps to automate desktop or web applications. UiPath includes a community edition that comes with drag and drop feature. So, the users do not need programming knowledge to automate the tasks using UiPath . The community edition is free for the people.

7. Automation Anywhere Automation Anywhere is one of the popular RPA vendors. This tool is a combination of all the core functions. It combines RPA with intellectual elements like language understanding and reading any unstructured data. Automation Anywhere is a web-based administration system that provides control to run and manage end-to-end automated business tasks for companies.

8. Blue Prism Blue Prism is an RPA Tool that provides a virtual workforce to the organizations. It helps organizations to automate manual, repetitive, and rule-based business processes in an agile and cost-effective manner. It includes drag and drop support to automate the tasks.

9. Features of Blue prism It is platform-independent so that it can be used on any platform. It contains robust features like load balancing, data encryption, and end-to-end auditing. Thus, every change is audited. Blue Prism also supports automation of codes written in Mainframe, Java, Windows applications, and even web-based applications. It supports all major cloud platforms, like Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS. So, users can manage most of the tasks centrally.

10. Components of Blue Prism Blue Prism is a set of libraries, tools, and runtime environments for RPA. Every software robot has two main parts: Process Studio Object Studio

11. Object Studio Object Studio in Blue Prism is used for building different objects. Object studio is the place where we can create the Visual Business Object. It is abbreviated as VBO. VBO is created to interact with other applications. There are different types of actions that can be performed within these objects in the Object Studio.

12. Process Studio Process Studio is an area where an actual process is created. It looks similar to a traditional flowchart. It allows business logic, control loops, variables, and object calls to be sequenced and tested in a visible business flow. A process acts like a human user. It implements a software robot’s logic.
