Zu den Innovationen im Zuge der Digitalisierung gehört insbesondere auch der Begriff „Robotic Process Automation“ (RPA). Hierbei geht es darum, Abläufe durch eine virtuelle Arbeitskraft zu unterstützen, die regelbasiert mit unterschiedlichen Systemen agiert, wie es ein Mensch machen würde. Dadurch lassen sich Prozesse automatisieren und beispielsweise Qualität und Produktivität steigern. Schätzungen aus dem Jahr 2018 […]
