Everyone is familiar with the idea of the robotic production line. A group of robots, each of which performs a specialised task, are lined up next to a conveyor belt. As items move along the conveyor belt – each robot takes its turn in doing its job on the product sitting on the conveyor belt.

Our solution implements a similar concept. We provide a virtual production line - with conveyor belts and robots - that clients can configure to automate their own processes.

Our robots work on packages of data, and our conveyor belt is moving clients’ files past each of these robots. We provide everything the client needs to put this production line together – the environment and the robots. Through a browser interface, our clients can quickly configure what their unique production line looks like.  We offer more than 40 robots for working with data – and this number is growing every month. Some of our clients have highly specialised needs, and require "custom robots". We can create these for them as well. We have created highly specialised "robots" for clients including those for running actuarial projection systems and processing airline flight data from IATA.

Our "factory" provides clients with immediate and accurate reports on their production lines at any point in time. These production lines offer a repeatable way of processing data. Other team members can review, start, stop and change the production line. A process is therefore no longer a "black box" that only a select few people in the organisation can understand and perform. As a result of automation, the production line can run much faster, through all hours of the night and without getting tired or making mistakes.

Clients typically setup several different production lines, each with 20 or more robots. Each production line represents a process within their business. One of the great advantages of this virtual production line over the traditional production line is that it can be reconfigured at any time - almost instantly and at no cost other than a little of the client’s time. As business needs change, clients can quickly and cheaply reconfigure their production line to suit the new circumstances.

This is the basic concept behind SolveXia's process automator. In the section below, we go to the next level of detail and take a look at what the solution looks like in real life.
