Vedanta Aluminium executes RPA to hyperautomate its complete commercial function

The largest manufacturer of aluminium in India, Vedanta Aluminium, has implemented Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in its commercial function to hyperautomate the whole process. Vedanta Aluminium's commercial function is a key function with substantial potential to create value for the firm, thanks to its large-scale plant operations, huge customer presence, and extensive supplier network.

This project was carried out in conjunction with Crave Infotech, a rapidly expanding worldwide technology business with strong expertise in Industry 4.0, Digital Supply Chain, Quick-to-Deploy Intelligent Asset Management, Supply Chain Management, and Warehouse Management solutions.

The implementation of RPA in the commercial function of the company will increase Vedanta Aluminium's Commercial Maturity Index by enabling the standardisation of processes through ideal inventory management and proper demand aggregation, boosting employee productivity, and injecting significant agility into working methods.

"Aluminium is the metal of the future, owing to its diverse applications in the clean technologies of tomorrow. As one of the world's top aluminium producers, we aim to make our operations future-ready. This has seen us undertake the digital transformation of our plants and processes, harnessing the potential of Industry 4.0 and Web3 for manufacturing excellence. To this end, we are also working with nearly 40 technology start-ups in the areas of manufacturing, energy and healthcare, for value creation, volume growth, cost efficiency, excellence in business and ESG (Environment, Social & Governance)," said Mr Rahul Sharma, CEO, Vedanta Aluminium.

The firm intends to make the workflows of Commercial function more quickly, consistently, and smoothly by deploying software robots to substitute human labour in routine, repetitive operations and make them touchless, paperless, and accurate. This would also provide the organisation with rich data through the real-time tracking of numerous factors, assisting in quicker decision-making on essential business criteria.
