text: As companies increasingly adopt software applications to improve business
efficiency, often digitization gaps arise when legacy systems fail to integrate
with new applications. These gaps often result in redundant task execution across
incompatible systems. Robotic Process Automation (RPA) emerges as a solution by
automating such tasks. However, selecting the right processes that will be subjected
to RPA is crucial to avoid failures and resource waste. Therefore, this paper
introduces a four-stage method to evaluate processes for RPA suitability, grounded
on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). By systematically analyzing scientific
literature and incorporating weights from RPA experts, this paper sheds light
on the complex nature of process selection criteria for RPA. Tested in a company,
the method facilitates the process selection, indicating its practical applicability.

text: With the trend towards shorter product lifecycles, smaller batch sizes, and
more product variants, the complexity of manual assembly activities is increasing.
To support employees in carrying out complex assembly tasks, the use of assembly
instructions is indispensable to ensure high process capability and work productivity.
However, the creation of assembly instructions is often time-consuming. Thus,
the use of automation approaches can be a way to simplify the creation of assembly
instructions. Therefore, this paper introduces a promising automation concept
for applying robotic process automation (RPA) to generate assembly instructions
automatically. Finally, the automation concept is demonstrated in a practical
use case that illustrates the associated automation potential of RPA.
