RPA + IoT: Automation Beyond the Screen

You’ve probably heard about Robotic Process Automation (RPA) by now. It’s the software that can automate repetitive, mind-numbing tasks humans do on computers—like adding data to a spreadsheet or processing orders. RPA makes businesses faster, more efficient, and frees up employees for work that actually requires human thinking.

But here’s the kicker: most companies are only scratching the surface of RPA’s true potential. 

87% of companies using
RPA are only tapping into
50% of its benefits.

At ObjectSpectrum, we’re taking RPA to the next level—beyond the digital world and into the physical world, leveraging our IoT expertise and Prism platform. Why just automate what happens on a screen when you can automate what happens in real life?

What Can RPA Do for You?

RPA simplifies and speeds up routine tasks. It’s like hiring a robot to do the boring stuff—without the coffee breaks. Think about it: every day, businesses lose time and money having people complete repetitive tasks when software robots could be doing the same job, faster and error-free.

With ObjectSpectrum, it’s not just about automating what happens behind the screen; it’s about creating operational efficiencies across the board. The result? More productivity, fewer headaches, and massive savings.

You Know It. We Build It.

You bring the industry expertise, and we bring the IoT expertise. We take what we know is possible and combine it with your insights into your business to uncover opportunities. When we collaborate with you to brainstorm, our goal is to help you assess if your project makes business sense before delving into its technical feasibility.

Traditional RPA Example:

Let’s say you’ve got someone entering data into spreadsheets every day. It’s repetitive and takes hours. With RPA, you can automate that process, freeing up your employee to focus on more strategic tasks that actually drive business.

Now let's talk about what IoT brings to the table.

IoT + RPA: Automating the Physical World

We’re not just talking about saving time on computer tasks. Imagine if we could take those same automation principles and apply them to real-world scenarios that have nothing to do with a computer.

Here are a couple of examples:

Fire Extinguisher Inspections, Simplified

Right now, companies send employees to manually inspect fire extinguishers in office buildings every month. It’s time-consuming, costly, and labor-intensive. But what if there were sensors on each fire extinguisher that automatically reported their status in real-time? Now, the employee only visits the ones that need attention. The rest? Covered by hourly inspections from the sensors. That’s the power of IoT-driven RPA.

Rodent Trap Management, Reinvented

Got a ranch with 500 acres and rodent traps to check? Instead of manually inspecting every trap once a week, smart rodent traps with IoT sensors could alert the ranch hand when a trap needs to be emptied. Time saved. Money saved. All thanks to IoT-enabled RPA.

With ObjectSpectrum’s Prism platform, we can automate these routine, physical tasks that businesses often overlook. It’s the same efficiency RPA brings to the digital world, but now, we’re doing it out in the real world.

90% of manual inspections
could be eliminated by
IoT-powered RPA solutions.

Why You Need IoT-Enhanced RPA

The future of automation isn’t just on your computer screen—it’s everywhere your business operates. With IoT and ObjectSpectrum, you can:

• Cut costs by eliminating unnecessary manual tasks
• Boost productivity by focusing your people where they’re truly needed
• Create systems that adapt in real-time to operational needs
• Free up valuable resources for innovation and growth

RPA is powerful, but IoT-driven RPA is revolutionary. It’s time to stop thinking of automation as just a tool for the digital realm and start seeing its potential to reshape how your business operates in the physical world.
