Problem the AI is intended to solve
The process for adding new data to the Staging Server is repetitive and time consuming. We utilize the commercial software UIPath Studio with computer vision to automate this process.
Expected benefits
Automates a portion of this process so that it can be done more efficiently and reduce the number of labor hours spent.
System outputs
The UIPath software follows the directions provided by staff and completes the task with minimal intervention.
