This 2-day introductory course helps upskill participants with fundamental RPA skillset to enable and empower participants to automate their daily challenges independently. When we free up the individuals and allow them more time to use their skills, this elevates engagement, productivity, and performance levels, and job satisfaction. During the course, participants will explore the RPA landscape, its capabilities and applications, future development, and impact to understand the importance of RPA as an enabler of the digital transformation. Participants will have opportunities to work on realistic industry Use-Cases and create RPA solutions in the context of SMART manufacturing and sustainability.

 Use-case scenarios: 

- Login to demo website, scrap for work instructions/job orders from multiple pages and save them into an Excel spreadsheet. 

- Compute company total monthly travel and freight carbon emissions using web resources and save in Excel spreadsheet. 

- Read email messages and download sustainability reports from different regions. Consolidate these reports into a group summary sustainability report. Compose and send customised email messages with the summary report to management committee members.
