Cyclone RPA helps a large manufacturing company realize intelligent automation transformation

Through years of development, Made in China has become one of the most popular icons in the world. From Made in China to Intelligent Manufacturing in China, the real manufacturing economy is expected to be the pillar of China's economy in the future.

In response to this trend, Cyclone Robotics helped a large manufacturing company realize intelligent automation transformation through RPA by reducing costs, increasing business efficiency, and boosting productivity to keep it competitive in the global economy.

Business pain points & Cyclone RPA solution

Scenario 1: Data Migration Automation

The company is now looking to upgrade its data system, so needs to move data from the old system to the new one. This process involves quite a lot of data migration tasks. With the massive amount of data in the company, it would consume a lot of manpower and time.

 With Cyclone RPA in place, such data can be moved through RPA robots, instead of human labors. The robots can work around the clock, which shortens the turnaround time and cut costs for the company.

Scenario 2: Logistics Data Automation

In the company, cargos need to be moved in and out in large quantities. From purchasing raw materials for  production and tracking their shipments, to manufacturing products and delivering them to the right place at the right time, there is quite a lot of business critical data involved in logistics to be tracked and processed by the company. Any delay may not only increase costs but lose contact with customers.

Cyclone RPA, through integration with the transportation management system, can effectively monitor the movements of such products. With RPA robots, the manufacturer can track inventory and delivery schedules in real-time, ensuring tasks can be completed as scheduled and reducing human errors.

Scenario 3: Bill of Materials automation

Bill of Materials (BOM), as a critical data file in manufacturing, lists raw materials, components, sub-components, and other materials required for production in detail, and can be used as the basis to recognize materials by computer. This file provides all employees with details regarding materials to purchase, their quantities, purchasing methods, locations, and the assembling and packaging instructions. Even a single omission or minor mistake may lead to errors in material planning and requirements, inaccurate product costing, and delayed shipments.

With Cyclone RPA, the BOM can be created and updated automatically. The robots can help automate BOM processes by simulating all human behaviors in generating BOM, and quickly creating and tracking changes through screen scraping technology, thus removing the costly human errors.

Scenario 4: Compliance management automation

The company has set up production and operation centers in many parts of the world, with separate corporate compliance departments in place for adherence to local regulations. Through communication, we have learned that its spending on compliance accounts for more than 10% of the total expenditure. But personal negligence may bring huge losses to the company, and seriously damage the reputation of the brand.

And Cyclone RPA can help the company with many compliance tasks like comparing massive data, auditing processes, raising alerts, and so on. As an objective tool, RPA can not only help optimize the compliance workflow,  but  avoid the non-compliance issues for the company.
