Hansol Group Implements Company-wide 'Robotic Process Automation'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] Hansol Group announced on the 25th that it will introduce a Robot Process Automation (RPA) system across all its affiliates.

This company-wide RPA system implementation is being promoted to establish a smart working environment. RPA is a smart technology that teaches robots to handle simple repetitive tasks automatically. It prevents errors and reduces the time required for simple tasks that previously took a lot of time and effort when performed by humans, allowing employees to focus on more valuable work.

Before the company-wide RPA system implementation, Hansol Group first piloted RPA at its affiliates Hansol Paper and Hansol Technics last year. In the case of Hansol Paper, RPA was initially introduced in 46 tasks including finance, purchasing, and accounting, resulting in an average time reduction of 52% compared to the previously required work hours.

In particular, RPA was applied to the online market price monitoring task, which previously took 192 hours annually, fully automating the work that was manually done by people. RPA was also applied to the customs refund task, which took 1,000 hours annually, resulting in a replacement effect of 500 hours.

Additionally, in the case of Hansol Technics, after introducing RPA to simple order processing tasks, the annual work hours, which previously took 924 hours, were reduced to 24 hours. This confirmed the effect of RPA introduction by saving about 97% of the work hours.

Based on these achievements, Hansol Group plans to expand the introduction of RPA to all affiliates such as Hansol Homedeco and Hansol Logistics and promote it in earnest. For affiliates that have already introduced RPA, additional applicable tasks will be identified and applied. For newly adopting affiliates, the tasks to which RPA will be applied will be finalized after analyzing and standardizing work processes, and then introduced.

A Hansol Group official said, "We confirmed that replacing simple repetitive tasks with RPA not only saved a lot of work hours but also improved the accuracy of task processing," adding, "As RPA introduction expands to all affiliates, it is expected to help improve employees' quality of life by building a smart work environment where employees can increase work efficiency while focusing on creative tasks."
