As a result of introducing JP1/ Client Process Automation (hereafter JP1/CPA),
the work automated by using Robotic Process Automation (hereafter RPA) is performed more efficiently.
CO2 emissions are reduced by 42% due to the reduction in the work hours required for recovery of processing errors and the reduction in the power consumption of IT devices.
Customer's issues
- Attempts to perform work might fail because the prerequisite conditions are not met.
- It takes time to check or investigate when an error occurs or an execution result is invalid.
Functional unit: Recovery work when an error occurs in data input or in automated
processing for 354,320 cases a year in the work performed by 10 internal departments
Effect
- Control by JP1/CPA before RPA execution can reduce the factors causing failures.
- Management of the execution statuses enables workers to easily identify the error and perform processing again.
CO2 emissions: Reduction per year = 3,864 kg of CO2. CO2 reduction rate = 42%
- Factors that reduce the burden on the environment
- Reduction in work hours (42%)
- Reduction in power consumption (42%)
- Factors that increase the burden on the environment
- In the use stage, no factor increases the burden.
- This assessment applies to JP1/Client Process Automation V12.1 and later.
- The specifications described might be changed without prior notice because of product improvement, etc.
- The factors related to the burden on the environment differ depending on the assessment conditions or the assessment model.
- This assessment used SI-LCA(*1), which is Hitachi, Ltd.'s method for calculating CO2 emissions. This assessment was calculated using information as of February 2020 and using the usage stage as the assessment target.
