Digitization, automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming industries with new operational models to address large scale digital transformation, minimize cost and increase productivity. Robot-assisted automation is becoming a critical need in testing and validation and quality assurance, not limited to product qualifications. However, the challenge lies in ensuring the availability of such platforms for 24/7 test environments, custom systems that integrate with third-party automation tools and remote testing. This demands a smart and intelligent framework that reduces operational costs, increases productivity, reduces the cost of quality and ensures a meaningful return on investment (ROI).
Infosys has developed the “Infosys Robotic Platform,” an automated testing platform with collaborative and non-collaborative robotic arms. The system can handle automated testing of devices that require human machine interface. It is supported by dynamic vision systems that interpret the data from the screen or printed receipt and send information to applications to trigger actions based on in-built business logic.
