Focus areas
Harshman added, “India is a great case study from where the lessons can be replicated for other regions. Being one of the key markets, it has matured and the conversation has shifted from adopting automation to scaling automation. Some of the key focus areas for UiPath has been Healthcare, BFSI, Retail, SMBs and manufacturing and customers see new use cases being developed every day to deal with heavy inflow of work.”
The company is currently working on adding an advanced task mining feature wherein, the AI-enabled robots would be able to define and understand unstructured data and documents.
Automation can build industry’s immunity against Covid-19
Daniel Dines, Co - Founder and Chief Executive Officer, UiPath, said, “Our platform can understand semi structured documents and expand our capabilities to understand unstructured data as well. We have recently started our approaching semantic automation.”
Semantic automation would enable robots to understand the content of the information or script that they have been fed with to process.
“You give them a clear script, and they follow the script without understanding. For instance, if humans are processing an invoice, they understand, but robots don't understand that they are processing an invoice. We aim to bring this understanding to all robots starting from our latest version of task mining tool,” Dines added.
