Robotic Process Automation with Kofax Kapow
Kofax Kapow provides a platform to process data from structured or unstructured databases, files, email systems, websites, portals, and even legacy mainframe systems or terminal emulations. It offers automated extraction and transformation of data from Excel, XML, XLS, PDF, RSS feeds and from APIs based on SOAP, REST, XML and JSON.
Creating a Robot for our Business Case
Design Studio
Design Studio is a visual editor with which we want to create our
robot. It is providing several views to accomplish the creation of a robot.
Project View
The Project View explains an overview of your robots and types or
other resources.
Robot View
The Robot View shows you the steps defined for a robot. You can
switch between design and debug mode for later testing. Here you define your
steps and actions of the workflow.
Step View
The Step View gives you information about a single selected step
and shows all the configurable properties and mainly the action to process in
this step.
Browser View
If a step loads a webpage, the content is displayed in the Browser
View.
Source View
The source of the related page is shown in the Source View.
Variables View
The defined variables and the actual values of the robot are displayed in the Variables View.
Kofax Transformation Modules, AI and Machine Learning
A Complete guide of Kofax Transformation Modules (KTM) also provide mechanisms of machine learning. KTM is a system for automatic classification of documents and extraction of data fields. Kofax Transformation Modules provide mechanisms of machine learning. KTM is a system for the extraction of data fields and automatic classification of documents. KTM consists of tools from machine learning, which can be used alone or together with rule-based free form recognition. The neural network-based methods will be briefly described here.
KTM projects consist of the following phases:
Project preparation: Document types, clustering, data fields
Project implementation: Extraction design and classification
Production: Capturing, manual validation, classification, extraction.
The KTM toolbox for machine learning contains of the following elements:
The Clustering Tool
KTM consists of a tool (clustering tool) that analyzes unsorted batches of documents and divides them into batches with similar characteristics. This process can be done according to graphical criteria as well as according to content. After using the clustering tool you usually have a very good impression, which is the main document types of a project, which should be trained first.
Administrative document types
For this, you will use the main document types, which have been determined by the clustering tool. Within the KTM development environment, these document types are created manually or they can be created automatically from the batches. For each document type, an administrator gives a number of sample documents to the system for learning. It is project-dependent, but in real projects a value of about 20 documents has proven itself. This document types can take place via the layout and the text content of the documents.
Administrative field extraction
The extraction of the document type is specific data fields can be done in the next step. Similar to the document types, a certain number of documents are taking per document type. This process is done by just showing the system the position on the document where the data for a field should be extracted. This process is done by using mouse clicks. KTM does not memorize the absolute positions, but it stores features near the extraction position.
Learning during production
After a trained system has been set to production, KTM provides the possibility to further improve the classification and extraction during daily processing. This process consists of the optimization of main document types already trained in the preparation, basic training and removing the previously neglected other document types.
Kofax Capture
A Complete guide of Kofax Capture, formerly Ascent Capture, accelerates business processes by taking documents and forms, transforming them into accurate, retrievable information, and delivering it all into your business applications and databases. When your information is on paper or in electronic files, whether it is parked at a central office or scattered on desktops and remote offices throughout the world. Kofax Capture delivers powerful, production-level document and data capture. For data capture, Kofax Capture extracts important information such as machine-printed text, bar codes, hand-printed words and even checked boxes.
Kofax Capture using the indexing and validation process to capture information that doesn’t start on paper, such as electronic documents. Remote Capture Many organizations rely on document-driven processes that originate at a remote location but must be completed elsewhere. The Kofax Capture Network Server is a proven, reliable method for accelerating and reducing the cost of remote business processes.
Benefits of Kofax Capture
Capture Documents, Data and More
No matter the source—scanner, multi-function printer, print stream, email, fax, web service or file folder—you get production-level scanning and indexing from structured, semi-structured and unstructured documents that contain information in many forms, including machine-printed text, barcodes, handprint and structured page marks like checkboxes.
Capture Anywhere at Any Time
Whether your team is scattered across the
globe in branch offices, home offices or traveling offices, you need a flexible
system with capabilities for both centralized and distributed processes that
significantly reduces processing times and creates a better customer
experience. Extend Kofax Capture with an integrated link between intelligent
devices like multifunction peripherals (MFPs), network scanners, mobile devices
and web and thin client capture capabilities.
Realize a Swift Return on Investment
Automating content capture and distribution not only puts content at your workers’ fingertips and improves your interactions with customers, but it also creates operational efficiencies that typically result in an ROI within 12 months with our solution.
