Manufacturing Automation Services We Provide

We implement RPA in manufacturing and help resolve challenges with bots, platforms, and automated processes already in production.

01

Automation Opportunity Assessment

We review how work moves across procurement, finance, planning, operations, and customer service to identify processes that are suitable for automation.

Each process is assessed based on volume, manual effort, error rates, stability, and expected return. Processes that are not ready for automation are identified before development begins.

02

Platform and License Review

We assess your existing UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, or Power Automate environment before recommending additional tools or licenses.

Where no platform is in place, we help select one based on your ERP, document volumes, integration requirements, internal capabilities, and ongoing support needs.

03

Document Processing Design

We design automated document workflows for supplier invoices, purchase orders, bills of materials, packing lists, certificates of conformance, and inspection records.

OCR and AI-based extraction can process different supplier layouts while validation and exception rules help prevent incomplete or incorrect information from entering the ERP.

04

Bot Development and ERP Integration

We connect bots to your ERP, MES, supplier portals, email inboxes, spreadsheets, databases, and EDI feeds.

Routine transactions move through automatically, while incomplete, mismatched, or out-of-tolerance cases are routed to the right employee with the reason and supporting information attached.

05

Testing, Deployment, and Handover

We test bots with the employees who perform the process every day, including real exceptions, incomplete documents, and unusual transactions.

Deployment is completed in stages and scheduled around production peaks and period close. Runbooks and user training help internal teams operate the automation after launch.

06

Managed Support and Optimization

We monitor bot performance, resolve failures, manage platform updates, and update bots when supplier portals, credentials, document formats, or business rules change.

Shared and dedicated RPA support plans are available from $500 per month.

07

Analytics and Process Intelligence

Bots create a record of every transaction they process.

We turn that data into reporting on invoice exceptions, supplier performance, PO mismatches, cycle times, and process delays. These insights also help identify the next processes worth automating.

08

AI and Machine Learning

Where fixed rules are not enough, we use OCR, document classification, and machine learning to process variable supplier documents and unstructured inputs.

Validation remains in place so uncertain or incomplete records can be sent for human review instead of being processed automatically.

RPA Use Cases in Manufacturing

RPA works best for high-volume, rule-based manufacturing processes where employees repeatedly move data between documents, supplier portals, and business systems.

Purchase Order Validation

Match incoming purchase orders against quotes, contracts, pricing rules, and customer records. Clean orders move forward automatically, while quantity, price, or terms mismatches are flagged for review.

Supplier Invoice Matching

Match supplier invoices against purchase orders and goods receipts, identify duplicates or price variances, and send only genuine exceptions for approval.

Bill of Materials Sourcing

Send requests to vendors, collect returned quotations, compare components against defined requirements, and flag BOM deviations that may affect cost or compliance.

Account Reconciliation

Retrieve ledger and bank data, reconcile transactions on a defined schedule, flag discrepancies, and prepare reconciliation records before period close.

Inventory Reporting and Reordering

Monitor stock levels across systems, generate purchase orders when inventory falls below defined thresholds, and maintain a central audit trail of each action.

Supplier Onboarding and Compliance

Collect and validate W-9 forms, insurance certificates, quality certifications, and audit documents, then file them against the correct supplier record.

Production and Shop-Floor Reporting

Bring together output, downtime, scrap, and production data from plant systems into consistent daily or weekly reports without rebuilding spreadsheets manually.

Order Processing and Fulfilment

Standardize customer orders received through EDI, email, portals, and spreadsheets. Complete orders can be processed automatically, while incomplete ones are escalated with the reason attached.

Cross-System Data Synchronization

Compare records across the ERP, CRM, MES, and planning systems on a defined schedule, then surface mismatches before they affect fulfilment, invoicing, or reporting.

Quality and Compliance Documentation

Assemble and validate certificates of conformance, inspection records, and audit documents against production records, with each action logged for traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Benefits of RPA in Manufacturing?

RPA can reduce manual entry, shorten purchase order and invoice processing times, identify exceptions earlier, and create an automatic audit trail for each transaction.

The exact benefits depend on process volume, complexity, document quality, and the number of systems involved.

What Is the Difference Between Manufacturing Automation and Industrial Automation?

Industrial automation refers to physical equipment used on the plant floor, including robotic arms, PLCs, conveyors, and machine-vision systems.

Manufacturing process automation uses software to handle documents, data, and administrative workflows surrounding production.

What Documents Can Be Automated in Manufacturing?

Manufacturing document automation can cover supplier invoices, purchase orders, bills of materials, goods receipts, packing lists, certificates of conformance, inspection records, and supplier compliance documents.

Bots extract the required information, validate it against business records, and route exceptions for review.

How Much Does It Cost to Implement RPA in Manufacturing?

The cost depends on process complexity, systems involved, document variability, validation requirements, and platform licensing.

Our RPA Cost Calculator provides an initial estimate for a single process. A detailed process assessment is required before providing a formal quote.

Does RPA Require Replacing Our ERP or MES?

No. Bots can work across existing systems through user interfaces, APIs, databases, files, and other available integration methods.

The ERP, MES, and supplier portals can remain in place while RPA handles repetitive work between them.

How Do You Choose an RPA Services Provider for Manufacturing?

Look for experience with manufacturing documents and systems, knowledge across more than one RPA platform, clear support options, and a practical process-assessment approach.

The provider should also be willing to explain when a process is not suitable for automation.

Which RPA Platform Is Best for Manufacturing?

UiPath, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism, and Power Automate can all support manufacturing workflows.

The right choice depends on your existing licences, ERP environment, document volumes, integration needs, internal skills, and support model. Where a platform is already in place, using it is often more practical than introducing another.

How Is Data Security Handled?

Bots operate using credentials and access permissions controlled by your organisation.

Role-based access, audit logging, credential management, exception handling, and deployment controls should be built into the automation. Nalashaa is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022.
