Further, the technical scheme is as follows:

1. the technical principle of the RPA robot designed by the patent is as follows:

(1) The picture is searched on the computer by using a locateComentOnScreen function provided by an open source library pyautogui provided by python programming language, and the coordinate position (x, y) of the center point of the picture on the screen is returned.

(2) And simulating the screen coordinate position obtained in the previous step of manual operation on the screen by using a click function provided by the pyautogui library, and performing related operations such as clicking, double clicking, scrolling and the like to complete the task.

(3) And (3) setting the processes (1) and (2) as fixed functions, setting the fixed functions to be automatically executed at regular time, and automatically executing the flow in a circulating mode according to needs to complete the automatic work.

2. RPA robot programming:

(1) The patent uses the python programming language for robot design, and relates to an open source library pyautogui which can control a computer mouse, a keyboard and other tasks. The design interface uses a CMD console interface.

(2) Setting a mouse execution function: the robot comprises a robot, a robot chip (mouse, IOrR, img and reTry), wherein a click Times parameter is click time, an IOrR parameter represents a left key or a right key, img represents a picture needing to be searched on a screen, and a reTry parameter represents the execution times, and when the parameter is-1, infinite loop is represented, so that the robot is completely automated. The principle of the function is as follows: the first step determines the value of the number of loops reTry, if the value is-1, the loop is infinite, if the value is other number x, the execution is performed x times. And the second step is to detect the position of the img in the screen, if the position can be searched, the coordinates (x, y) of the img picture are returned, and if the position cannot be searched, no picture is reminded. And after the system acquires the coordinate of the img, the system clicks the position according to the set type of the left key or the right key. Achieving the process of mouse execution.

(3) Picture search function: locateCenterOnScreen (img, confidence = 1), the confidence parameter sets the precision of the picture search algorithm, the default is set to 1, which represents that the search precision is 100%, in order to improve the search probability, properly reduce the search precision, and add a bit of ambiguity, for example, set to 0.8. The img parameter is a picture path, a picture source can store a screenshot of a position needing to be clicked by a mouse by using a screenshot tool, a point needing to be clicked by the mouse is required to be placed at the central point of the picture during screenshot,

3. customizable profile design:

(1) In the daily workflow, a large number of actions repeatedly executed manually exist, such as mouse clicking, mouse double clicking, text copying, text pasting, waiting time, mouse scrolling and the like. In the robot designed by the patent, all the processes can be customized, and in order to conveniently customize files, excel files are adopted as configuration files.

(2) Referring to fig. 2, the configuration file is divided into 5 columns, and the first row is described as the configuration content.

(3) The excel configuration table starts from the 2 nd row, each action is 1, and the RPA robot obtains the whole workflow by reading the whole excel configuration file.

4. The robot executes and designs:

(1) This patent uses CMD control cabinet interface to realize, during the use, opens the CMD control cabinet at the folder that the robot belongs to, calls the robot.

(2) The execution flow comprises the following steps: 1. combing the business process; 2. configuring a flow in a customized file excel table; 3. saving the screenshot of the position clicked by the mouse; 4. entering a CMD console running program; 5. selecting to execute once, several times or wireless circulation to execute the RPA robot;

5. logging:

(1) The RPA robot execution process designed by the patent can be displayed in a CMD console in real time, and the result of execution of each step is observed.

(2) Referring to fig. 3, the execution condition of each step is stored in a log.

6. The service function is customized in the configuration file, for example, the defect of the example device is judged and reported by self, the system automatically analyzes the operation data to generate a report and export the report, each service rule is set, the whole service process is configured in the excel, the RPA robot is enabled to automatically execute, and the continuous circulation can be carried out for 7 × 24 hours.

7. Analysis of the run results, see fig. 4:

through many tests, the system finishes a task flow in seconds, which is certainly related to the complexity of the executed service, but through many tests and comparisons, the RPA robot has high accuracy, greatly saves time, can liberate manual labor force to do services which need manual thinking, and can completely finish the repeated work of continuous machinery by the RPA robot.

Further, the defect handling is demonstrated in the examples:

1. and (4) performing defect inspection by the operation and maintenance personnel, newly adding defects after inspecting the defects on site, and simulating the operation and maintenance personnel to use the APP by using a mobile phone end.

2. And the defect management RPA robot polls the defects at regular time, and automatically judges the defect grade of the defects after finding the newly added defects to upload.

3. And the RPA robot performs dispatch distribution according to the defect grade and sends the dispatch distribution to operation and maintenance personnel by using the instant message APP so as to timely process the defect.

Step 2, see fig. 6: and (4) screenshot of the flow picture needing to be automatically clicked by the RPA robot in the configuration file, and storing the screenshot in a computer configuration file folder.

Step 3, see fig. 7: the defect management RPA robot is run and a log is recorded.

Step 4, see fig. 8: the defect management RPA robot automatically polls at a fixed time, wherein the polling time can be customized and is set to be 1 time in 15 minutes by default.

Step 5, see fig. 9: and when the operation and maintenance personnel visit the site to inspect the defects and find new defects, reporting the defects by using the mobile phone APP.

Step 6, see fig. 10: and polling the defect management RPA robot to newly add the defects to be processed, automatically judging the defect grade and distributing the defect grade to the corresponding professional node. And (3) defect judgment principle:

(1) In the operation process of the RPA robot, the RPA robot has two methods for judging the service: firstly, judging the defect grade through character recognition, and secondly, judging the defect grade through picture recognition. The patent uses a second method to determine the defect level.

(2) Firstly, three defect (general defect, major defect and emergency defect) grades are captured and stored as the names of all grades:

when the defect is newly added, the RPA robot polls to search various defect levels, and when the system searches a preset defect level graph and automatically matches the preset defect level, the defect level is determined. The RPA robot sends the flow to the corresponding defect level handler.

Step 7, see fig. 11: and pushing the instant message to the staff through the instant message system. Reminding the operation and maintenance personnel to process the defects in time.

Compared with the prior art, the time for manually carrying out operations such as report statistics, data query, result export, data processing and the like is reduced to 5 minutes from the original 1 hour each time, the data accuracy can reach more than 99%, the working efficiency is remarkably improved, and the data quality is ensured. Meanwhile, the invention can continuously operate for 7 × 24 hours without intrusion, and improves the productivity on the premise of ensuring the network safety. The application of the method can effectively reduce a large amount of repeated and fussy transactional work of report statistics and data analysis of workers, and the enterprise management level is improved.
