Integration of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Internet of Things (IoT) in Supply Chain Management: Enhancing Visibility and Efficiency

Abstract

The integration of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Internet of Things (IoT) presents a promising avenue for enhancing supply chain management (SCM) practices. This paper explores the synergistic potential of RPA and IoT in SCM, focusing on how their integration can improve visibility and efficiency across the supply chain. By automating repetitive tasks and leveraging real-time data from IoT devices, organizations can achieve higher levels of operational transparency, predictive analytics, and responsiveness. This paper discusses the theoretical underpinnings, practical applications, benefits, challenges, and future directions of integrating RPA and IoT in SCM.
