Solution: Reusable Python Repositories and Improved Log and Error Management

The company decided to test the RPA approach with Python to reuse tasks and establish a development standard. The result? Development became more agile, with bots being deployed to production in one-week sprints.

The RPA team at Oncoclínicas adopted BotCity’s development templates, which helped create a repository of reusable functions. In terms of orchestration and governance, the company now has a comprehensive execution and error log for code-based automations, including detailed screenshots to pinpoint exactly where errors occurred.

We now have enhanced execution logs and error analysis, allowing us to maintain and support our processes faster than ever before.

The BotCity Orchestrator also checks if the libraries are on the most robust versions for that bot, ensuring it is always using the latest code version.

Outcomes

In just one month with BotCity, Oncoclínicas had already developed its own framework for task reuse, error logs, and execution, with its first bot rewritten from Low-Code to Python up and running.

Today, with 25 bots rewritten from low-code to Python and running on 3 virtual machines, the team has also optimized its computing infrastructure. Previously, it took 15 virtual machines to run just 10 low-code bots. Furthermore, while it took 31 seconds to run a single low-code bot, the Python version completed it in just 8 seconds, and without errors.

Bots that once required very high costs with annual dollar-based licensing and a virtual machine for each bot and runner are now developed much faster and deliver significantly better performance.
