Abstract
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is an important research area in the revolution of industrial 4.0 throughout the world. RPA technology can increase manufacturing productivity and reduce cost in the long term. One of the most important facts that exist in existing RPA systems are they are platform dependent. It must be used in a general-purpose operating system environment and cannot be applied to other software systems such as embedded software or BIOS. RPA then captures a screenshot of the desktop graphical user interface display, analyzes the image, determines the next steps or process and then prompts the user to act as keyboard and mouse. This proposed an RPA solution with the intelligence to offload the high processing task via edge or cloud, based on a set of rules. The ability to decide when to offload tasks is the key factor to increase the adoption rate of the industry. This process will be done based on a set of rules. This type of programable rules-based RPA system is essential to provide a wide range of industry needs. The prototype RPA operated on a rules-based approach has demonstrated that it is possible to apply it to different operating industries.The proposed rule-based RPA algorithm shows the RPA had the intelligence to route th task to the most suitable RPA processing system.
