ITPEC FE Morning April 2023 Question 61
ITPEC FE Morning April 2023 — Question 61 of 80
RPA automates repetitive computer-based clerical tasks (data entry, cross-checking, form filling) using software bots, not physical robots or hardware.
Option (b) describes replacing clerical staff with software that handles standardized routine activities like data input and cross-checking — this is a textbook RPA use case.
Why not others:
- (a) — deploying physical robots on a manufacturing line = Factory Automation (FA), not RPA
- (c) — unmanned stores with cameras and IC tags = IoT / retail automation, not RPA
- (d) — automated warehouse with forklifts and computer-controlled transfer = warehouse automation, not RPA
Key rule: RPA = software mimicking human actions on a computer (clicks, data entry, form processing). If the option involves physical robots, cameras, or warehouse equipment, it's not RPA.
