In our current economy, most businesses are under pressure to get the work done with ever increasing efficiency. The benefits of greater efficiency includes completing the job faster, at less cost, and with less people. In our Crazy COVID times, since the Great Resignation, it has been a constant challenge for many businesses to recruit and maintain a workforce, and with the difficulties in hiring, they have been forced to Do more with less, which makes interest in automation particularly high as of late.

This has all been combined into a perfect storm along with the trend of digital automation, or more accurately, digital disruption, which has been a major driver of business automation. This has been the process in recent years of streamlining traditional business processes, particularly laborious ones, such as timekeeping, in favor of automation, such as with cloud software solutions.

Where business automation generally focuses on traditional business processes, IT automation seeks to automate IT processes. Through the use of software processes, the automation approach gets applied to repeatable and repetitive processes that previously would be manual work for an IT professional, such as at a datacenter. A real benefit is that IT services can be delivered considerably faster, with considerably less direct human intervention.

By having less direct work, IT staff can be available for other tasks thereby enhancing the workforce. The level of IT automation can vary from small tasks, such as an isolated intervention, and on the larger end, an entire autonomous IT deployment. The idea is that the software can accomplish the task, with minimal administrator intervention.

A commonly confused concept with IT automation is IT orchestration. In IT automation, the goal is to have the same basic task done repeatedly, ideally without any intervention. This is different to IT orchestration, where automated tasks get coordinated into a workflow, with a series of steps, and it can include things like permissions along with rules enforcement.

IT automation reduces the intervention steps that an administrator needs to do to be able to accomplish the task, in some cases drastically less steps. To do this, a software package is used, such as Microsoft Windows PowerShell, which can use cmdlets and variables as a script that can substitute for an IT administrators actions to get the job done, such as setting up a backup, or a virtual machine (opens in new tab). A series of scripts can even be used for an even more complex task.

Sounds like something you want to try? The good news is that Windows users already have it as PowerShell is already integrated into versions of Windows as far back as 7. There are also plenty of alternatives to Powershell, such as Cmder, OpenSSH, PuTTY and Linux SSH.

Proponents of IT automation believe that just about any IT task can benefit from applying automation to it on at least some portion of the task. That being said, there are some more common use case scenarios that lend themselves to this approach.

One use for IT automation is application deployment, which is the process of configuring an application (opens in new tab) for use at a business. Whether the application deployment is episodic, or continuous integration, or even during the testing phase, IT automation can contribute to a successful deployment of an application. The essential tasks get automated through this approach, which reduces the chances for human error, so the application can be deployed smoothly and efficiently. Another advantage is that with all the rules of deployment having a location that is central and accessible by the IT team, it promotes transparency.

Security is another area that IT automation can be used for as it can be laborious to be done manually, but lends itself to this approach, where rules can be applied on a 24/7, 365 days a year to keep the network secure at all times. Here, the IT administrator sets up the rules to protect the network, which ensures compliance. Once in place, IT automation is vigilant to monitor for any issues. Then there are step-by-step instructions in place so a potential threat can be triaged. Also, should an issue occur, remediation steps are built in, so the threat can be triaged, and if action is indicated, it can then mitigate any impact. What is really amazing is that this entire process can be done in mere seconds!

IT automation, when implemented well can have some real advantages. The first is the cost savings, as less IT staff are needed to get the job done. Another is the savings in time, as once setup, minimal additional time is needed for daily operation of the task. The next is that operations are done faster than when done manually, such as in the security example above. The final is a reduction in human errors as the drudgery of repeated tasks gets engineered out of the workflow and replaced by software configured to get the job done consistently.

However, it is not all perfection, and IT automation can have some downsides as well. The first is the cost of the investment upfront. While there are cost benefits down the road, it can still be expensive at the start. Another is that IT automation can be inflexible, and some use case scenarios can offer challenges to apply these techniques. Another issues is that as it is rules driven, when a situation occurs outside of the set parameters, it wont be able to handle it, and there can be higher consequences for the error as automated errors have more potential to cause greater damage. A final issue is that setting up IT automation processes requires a higher skill level, such as using the hundreds of cmdlets to configure a process in PowerShell.

IT automation represents a leap forward, and we expect to see increasing application of it in the coming years. With a number of advantages, including cost and labor savings, it is easy to comprehend what is driving this trend. As we are in the early stages of this transformation, be on the lookout for IT automation to be applied to even more complex and diverse IT processes in the future.

What is IT Automation? - TechRadar

Construction firms are prioritizing technology to address labor challenges, waste, and sustainability. Forward-thinking firms that want to maximize their digital investment are turning to automation to quantitatively improve the way their teams work. For many, automation is associated with self-sufficient robots and autonomous vehicles. But thats an incomplete picture of what can be achieved with automation.

There are use cases for automation throughout the construction lifecycle, from the back office to the job site. With better, faster access to the right information, construction teams can actually elevate their capabilities to solve the complex problems they face. Here are three surprising ways to use automation in construction.

The QA/QC process is essential to reducing project risk. But it can also be time-consuming and sometimes dangerous. Mixed reality technology allows site crews to inspect the job site in a safer, more efficient way. For example, with Trimble Connect AR an inspector can use a tablet or phone to view the model overlaid on to the physical environment. Or they can use the XR10 with HoloLens 2, which is a helmet outfitted with smart glasses, to view and interact with virtual elements on the job site. They can compare the model to the actual environment and see things that arent visible to the naked eye, like easements and buried utilities.

The process can be further automated by using drones or robots like Spot the Robot Dog to survey the site using laser scanners or LiDAR. Removing the manual steps involved in the inspection process means that they can be performed faster and more frequently, ultimately empowering teams to proactively reduce waste and inefficiencies.

Once ground is broken on the job site, its important for every crew to work in concert to prevent errors and delays. But in reality, this can be hard to achieve. Machine control technology is making it possible. With machine control technology, equipment like excavators and skid steers can pull data directly from the model to perform tasks with little or no human intervention. And sensors and machine vision technology are improving, expanding the capabilities of autonomous and semi-autonomous construction equipment.

As the machine operates, sensors collect information, such as terrain data, so the machine can perform at higher levels of precision. That data can also be saved and used for future reference during the asset operations phase.

Sensors can also collect information on the health of the equipment and enable remote maintenance support. Viet, an Illinois-based civil contractor, is using Trimble Remote Assistant to diagnose and resolve maintenance issues without having to wait on a technician to come to the job site. The company estimates that the virtual process has reduced technical support cost by almost 200%.

Its common to use spreadsheets to create estimates, meaning that estimators manually handle various versions of models and materials takeoffs. And ever changing market conditions impact materials and labor costs, making the task even more complex. Model-based estimating technology, like Trimble Estimation MEP, can connect directly to detailing software via APIs to automatically produce estimates. Estimation MEP contains a database of product data from component manufacturers, so the system generates estimates with the most up-to-date information, complete with product size, price, labor hours, and description.

All of these automations rely on a Connected Construction approach. Connected Construction bridges gaps between disparate teams so that all stakeholders can access the right data at the right time. To bring the various technologies used on a project together, Connected Construction platforms like Trimble Connect and Trimble Quadri serve as the central hub for project information and for tools to link to.

How Automation is Transforming Construction - Engineering News-Record

More than 43 million Americans quit their jobs in 2021, according to The Washington Post. This mass exodus has put a particular strain on operators of warehouses, distribution centers, and 3PL providers who have been forced to confront the labor shortage while e-commerce sales have surged over recent years. These staffing issues have been exasperated by high turnover rates among workers facing longer hours and added stress as they try to keep up with their employers fulfillment needs.

Automation offers significant benefits to employers struggling to adequately staff warehouse environments. In addition to reducing the need for labor and making work less demanding for current employees, automation stands to increase productivity, order accuracy, and reduce workplace injuries. Given these benefits, it should come as no surprise that the global warehouse automation market is expected to double in value over the next four years, based on a study conducted by the Harvard Business Review. Indeed, supply chain leaders who participated in the study indicated that automation is one of their top priorities for digital investment.

The net impact of automation is not inherently positive, however, at least not at the outset. While automation can save employers money in the long term, the front-end costs can be expensive and implementation time can be substantial.

The most commonly identified concern associated with automation is the assumed elimination of jobs. This perceived disadvantage has garnered serious skepticism from commentators, however, many of whom posit that the increased productivity flowing from automation creates as many job opportunities as it eliminates. Moreover, automating repetitive and simple tasks frees employees to learn new skills, take on more complex jobs, become empowered to move up the value chain, and makes workers jobs safer and more meaningful.

These changes often cause employees serious anxiety and uncertainty, nonetheless. For that reason, employers looking to incorporate automation into aspects of their warehouse operation should make a deliberate effort to communicate honestly and openly with the workforce. They should educate employees on the fact that the changes are not designed to cut jobs, but to help them perform their work and create opportunities for advancement.

Employers should also take proactive steps to provide opportunities for employee growth, including avenues for entry-level warehouse workers to eventually elevate into management level positions. If current employees can see a path for meaningful career advancement, the notion that more menial tasks may be moved toward automation should be less foreboding.

The importance of front-end communication and education regarding automation is particularly true for unionized employers. Employers with union shops will likely need to devote additional time and energy educating union leaders about the positive effects of automation. Preparing and educating employees, and their bargaining agents, for the integration of automation should help ease the transition.

Warehouse work is one of the pillars of our global economy. Automation has serious utility and is becoming more of a necessity (rather than merely a competitive advantage) in the current labor market. It has the potential to resolve thorny staffing issues, increase efficiency, and empower employees. Still, employers implementing automation technology in warehouse environments would do well to consider the impact on their current workforce by investing in opportunities for growth and advancement.

Summary:Organizations worldwide are realizing that RPA is capable of transforming their backend operations and procedures in an entirely new way with digital technology.It is a novel approach to automating corporate operations and procedures.

It enables businesses to use software-driven robots, or bots, to automate routine, predetermined activities. It minimizes the human labor required for tiresome, repetitive jobs so that employees can concentrate on more important and more meaningful work.

RPA is a software technology that enables the creation, deployment and management of software robots that mimic human actions while dealing with digital systems and software.Software robots, like humans, can grasp whats on a screen, complete the correct keystrokes, navigate systems, discover and retrieve data, and perform a variety of defined operations.

However, software robots can perform such tasks faster and more reliably than humans, without the need to take breaks.

Through RPA, chatbots and other forms of digital assistants, intelligent bots are proliferating throughout the data ecosystem.The range of jobs that these bots are capable of performing is growing.

Many knowledge workers consider chatbots to be an outdated, template-based version of what bots can perform in light of the popularity of digital assistants like Siri and Alexa in both personal and professional contexts. Nevertheless, the number of uses for these linguistically skilled bots is growing, and now includes both internal and external processes.

RPA software solutions can be installed without having to make changes to the current system, saving time and money on the installation process.Due to the significant cost and overall impact of rethinking their legacy, poorly linked IT infrastructure, many system-intensive organizations are unable to optimize their operations.

RPA solves this problem by acting as a human worker who builds a communication link between various IT systems.However, the risk of data security escalates when a company allows access to RPA for enterprise data over the cloud.

A bots poor design that unintentionally exposes sensitive data might have serious consequences.

Moreover, within these organizations, RPA can be used in multiple ways and across multiple processes.One new aspect of this is that the RPA solutions will also focus on external, customer-oriented processes in addition to internal processes.

For instance, the classification of incoming email is one such area where smart robots are expected to offer huge productivity gains.

Intelligent process automation (IPA), a bridge between RPA and AI, primarily leverages machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) to tackle difficult business challenges and automate current manual processes with much higher accuracy and efficiency. By eliminating or moving monotonous and laborious tasks, these new advancements have enabled organizations to become even more profitable.Read the full report: https://www.reportlinker.com/p05816400/?utm_source=GNW

Robotic Process Automation: Market Overview and Top Ten Companies - Yahoo Finance

The world of corporate hiring has undergone massive changes in the last few years. These changes were triggered by the inefficiency and the high costs incurred by companies that followed traditional hiring methods. Moreover, the risks associated with this method was also quite high. According to a study, 84 per cent companies in India were affected by faulty hiring practices. According to the same survey, a single bad hiring can cost the company over 20 lakhs.

Additionally, the recent skills crisis has put the entire industry in jeopardy, and therefore hiring automation has become a necessity to select the right candidates for the job. End-to-end automation of the recruiting process helps the company introduce uniformity, consistency and increases the efficiency and productivity of the HR team. In this article, we talk about the benefits of HR automation and how it can help make recruiting easier and faster.

Selecting the right candidate

Recruiting software allows managers to create a list of customised requirements and essential qualifications for filling a post. These platforms also help in quick and efficient advertising through templates. The applications of candidates possessing the requisite skills can be filtered out and the hiring manager does not have to take up the cumbersome task of manually scanning every application to select the right candidate.

Initiating assessments

After shortlisting the relevant resumes, these automation tools help in creating standardised and valid assessments based on job requirements. These can include tests measuring cognitive capacities, technical aptitude, and personality attribute that are deemed fit for the role. Post the assessment, a list of scores can be obtained, which can be leveraged by the managers to make informed hiring decisions.

Avoiding bias

One may aspire to be objective in screening and selecting candidates for a job but unconscious biases may creep in. Automating the hiring process helps companies get rid of these prejudices. Some of these software have the option of tracking the diversity and inclusion rates in the company, which helps avoid homogeneity and imposed uniformity in the workforce.

Better management

Candidate relationship management systems help convey information to the candidates via automated emails. It also ensures that applicants remain on board while the hiring goes on by keeping them informed and engaged in the process. This way the company has fewer chances of losing desired candidates due to the tediousness associated with the long processes of recruitment.

Reducing the time taken in hiring

The longer the time taken up in filling up a vacant position, the higher are the costs involved. Moreover, the company incurs additional costs worth the work that would have been done by the employee during that time. Automating processes like screening and assessments can save time and money for the company.

Make advertising more efficient

Such software place advertisements of vacant places in a way that it can reach the target audience and attract quality candidates. It also reduces costs and enhances the brand message of the employer. Advertising automation tools help post job openings that popularises the brand value and gives an estimate of the work culture in the organisation.

Better tracking opportunities

Usually, a large number of candidates apply for a job. Tracking individual applications, in such a scenario, can prove to be burdensome. With the help of applicant tracking systems, recruiters can easily keep a track of all candidates and access their information at any level of the hiring process. In addition to speeding up the process, this system ensures that employers do not lose out on desired candidates due to errors in keeping records.

Bottom line

To conclude, HR automation platforms accrue multiple benefits to companies. Along with this, the applicants are also spared the dreariness associated with long hiring processes and biases in recruitment. It does not take away from the importance of HR professionals but supports them by ridding them of the burden of performing important but boring tasks manually.
