Introduction
This document provides an overview of the Nintex RPAPlatform: The components, architecture, deployment, and system requirements.
The Nintex RPA Platform offers a number of solutions, designed to enhance efficiency in different automation contexts:
Unattended automation (creating a virtual workforce)
Nintex unattended robots run on virtual machines, working 24/7 behind the scenes to automate high-volume, repetitive, time-consuming business processes. In an unattended automation context:
-
Robots are assigned tasks via Nintex Console Plus (or via the Nintex Public API).
-
Each task invokes a wizard, which provides the robot with a precise set of instructions for completing the task.
-
The wizard runs automatically in robotic mode, without the need for human intervention.
-
Attended automation (empowering the human workforce)
Nintex attended robots run in the background on employee desktops, enabling employees to request guidance as needed or automate tasks on demand. There are two different methods for invoking a Nintex attended robot (which can be used separately or in combination):
-
When an employee needs support in completing a task, he simply brings up the robot and finds the wizard he needs in the catalog
- A wizard can be run in Do It mode (in which the robot actually performs actions for the employee) or in Guide Me mode (in which the robot navigates the employee through the task by pointing to each location where he needs to click the mouse or enter text). -or-
-
The robot waits silently in the Windows taskbar, using predefined sensors to detect when the employee has launched a specific application or reached a specific screen.
- When the sensor is triggered, the robot comes to life, providing context-sensitive assistance and/or data validation exactly when and where it is needed.
