Process Automation
Tungsten Automation through Canon IMS: robotic process automation that takes over repetitive, rule-based work between systems and understands documents too.
Filling in forms, copying values and gathering data between systems wastes valuable time and invites errors. Tungsten RPA, formerly Kofax RPA, assigns these rule-based tasks to software robots that work at high speed and with consistent accuracy. Because it shares a platform with Tungsten’s document processing, a robotic step and document understanding work together in one solution.
Canon organises information management in four movements: Capture, Content, Communicate and Process. Tungsten RPA works in the Process layer: software robots carry out the repetitive steps between systems, while orchestration engines and document AI handle the rest of the chain.
Robots do the repetitive work; people handle the exceptions that need judgement.
Reading a screen, copying a value, entering it somewhere else: repetitive digital work that eats hours without needing judgement. Software robots take over these rule-based steps across systems without native integration, so people are freed for the work that needs them.
Most RPA tools can click through a screen but cannot read the invoice behind it. Built on the same platform as TotalAgility, Tungsten RPA combines robotic steps with document classification and extraction, so one solution handles both.
SEE IT IN ACTION
Show us a repetitive task your team does every day, and see how a Tungsten robot takes it over, with a Canon IMS consultant.
Together with Docspro, a Canon IMS competence centre, a large Dutch food wholesaler has been robotising its incoming order and invoice flow step by step since 2017. Its accounts payable team moved from typing data to analytical work and now spends its time on genuine exceptions.
Before building robots, we assess which processes are suitable: rule-based, high-volume, stable and digital. That avoids automating the wrong things and gets value out of the first robots quickly.
RPA lowers operating costs, gives more control over business processes and improves employee satisfaction and retention, because people stop doing repetitive work that a robot can do faster and without errors.
Lower operating costs: Software robots take over repetitive, rule-based tasks at high speed.
Fewer errors: Robots work with consistent accuracy, every time.
More control: Every step is logged and processes become predictable.
Happier employees: People focus on work that needs judgement and expertise.
Canon IMS takes responsibility for your Tungsten RPA environment from first analysis to daily operation: advice, implementation, support and managed services under one contract with agreed service levels.
Advice and consultancy: We assess which processes are suitable for RPA before building anything, and tell you honestly whether Tungsten RPA fits.
Implementation and migration: We design your workflows, integrate Tungsten RPA with your core systems and go live in phases.
Support and maintenance under SLA: Support, maintenance and upgrades with agreed response and resolution times.
Managed services: We operate and monitor Tungsten RPA for you, on-premises, in the cloud or hybrid.
Tungsten RPA is our choice when repetitive tasks run between systems without integration, especially where documents are involved, such as accounts payable. Where systems offer APIs, integration through Workato is often more robust than a robot on the screen.
We propose what fits your process, not what we happen to sell.
Canon IMS competence centres have implemented Tungsten (formerly Kofax) RPA for years, including for a large Dutch food wholesaler. Process analysis, robot development, support under an SLA and optional managed services come under one contract.
RPA assigns repetitive, rule-based tasks to software robots that operate applications like a person would, such as filling in forms, copying data and gathering information between systems, at high speed and with consistent accuracy.
It shares a platform with Tungsten’s document processing, so robotic steps and document understanding, such as reading invoices, work together in one solution instead of two separate projects.
Processes that are rule-based, high-volume, stable and digital, such as invoice handling, data entry and reconciliations. We assess suitability before building robots.
When systems offer APIs, integration through a platform such as Workato is usually more robust and easier to maintain than a robot operating the user interface.
