Case study Kyocera International Inc.

Searching for a way to improve the productivity of the automotive components sales division, Divisional Vice President Kazumi Nishikawa began looking at RPA.
“RPA eliminates human error, and I was already interested in new technology. When I received an explanation from KDDI about how UiPath could raise productivity, I found UiPath to be well-suited to the automation of managing shipments and inventory, which require real-time updates.” As for his selection of KDDI and UiPath, Nishikawa said, “UiPath solutions can be shared amongst similar tasks, and KDDI’s global success with UiPath gave me confidence.”

Through RPA, Kyocera International was able to greatly reduce its data entry workload. Product Development Manager Kazuomi Baba says, “Until now it took large amounts of time to check that massive amounts of data were being input without mistakes, but thanks to RPA it is now done accurately and quickly and the burden on the staff has been reduced. In America this type of work easily becomes a black box only understood by whoever is doing it, but with RPA we were able to lay out and visualize the process.”
