Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in Infrastructure

 By Mwikisa Kanguya

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is revolutionising the infrastructure sector by streamlining complex processes and enhancing operational efficiency. Startups at the forefront of this technological wave are harnessing RPA to automate repetitive tasks, reduce human error, and optimise resource allocation. These innovative companies are not only driving significant cost savings but also enabling faster project completion and improved service delivery. By leveraging advanced algorithms and machine learning, RPA startups are transforming traditional infrastructure management, paving the way for smarter, more resilient systems. As the demand for efficient infrastructure solutions grows, these trailblazing startups are poised to redefine the future of the industry.

Robotic process automation is an application technique that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities in software to handle repetitive, high-volume operations. In RPA, staff members can set up and design a robot or computer software to perform interesting tasks like data manipulation, transaction processing, and digital system communication inside the company. The most recent research indicates that the size of the global robotic process automation (RPA) market was estimated at USD 4146.81 million in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.85% to reach USD 13571.72 million by 2028.
