A digital robot is a small piece of software, programmed to do specific tasks on a computer, also called a workflow.
It can do more or less anything as long as the workflow can be defined.
A real life workflow is much more complicated than these simple examples. It will have detailed rules and exception handling for every step in the workflow. It also often contains data from other sources and other workflows.
Most workflow steps consists of three events. Rules, exceptions and exception handling.. A “rule” is what the robot should do in a work step if everything is as expected. If there is a unexpected problem it is called an “exception”. Exception handling is what to do when a exception happens.
How Flowwy is set up, and how we connect to you.
You will be connected to your own dedicated server in the Flowwy environment. You will never share a server with another customer unless you have chosen to do so.
Your company data is processed on that server, and your robot is running on the same server.
There is a connection between the workstation in your office where the actual work is done, and the server is running on. That connection enables the robot to work on your machine.
If you have a cloud based TMS it is not necessary to connect to a workstation, then it will be a direct connection to your ERP in the cloud instead.
If the robot gets data from websites or online portals it will connect directly from the Flowwy server where it is running, not from your workstation.
A lot. Exactly how much work one robot can do depends of what kind of work you want it to do. It is important to understand that a robot can only do one task at the time on one machine. If you need several workflows done at exactly the same time you will need more robots, and more machines. (Servers at Flowwy)
If you can run workflows after each other, one at the time, you can fill up the server with robots as long as there is free time to work.
