The kind of technology that automates routine tasks to enhance efficiency is referred to as robotic process automation (RPA). RPA utilizes software robots or "bots" to execute repetitive tasks across different applications, mimicking human interactions with digital systems. By automating mundane activities, such as data entry, inventory management, and report generation, organizations can reduce operational costs, minimize errors, and free up human resources for more strategic activities. RPA contributes significantly to productivity and process optimization.
