How Knowledge Automation works?
1. HIRO receives tasks to automate directly via APIs from your software systems and converts these into automation tasks.
2. Using its Knowledge Automation AI engine, HIRO automatically processes tasks by applying and recombining knowledge acquired through agile automation.
3. HIRO acquires knowledge to automate processes directly from your employees through Agile Automation.

Knowledge Automation: Harnessing the power of Advanced AI
Advanced AI is a proprietary technology designed to mimic human learning and application of knowledge. A traditional machine learning algorithm is based on a sequence of steps to recognize the pattern. For every change in input, the model needs to be re-trained by adjusting the steps in the sequence. HIRO’s Advanced AI, on the other hand, is based on data model that can recognize the most optimal solution by applying learnt knowledge instead of predefined sequence of steps.
HIRO’s Advanced AI is a mix of multiple branches of Artificial Intelligence:
Semantic Knowledge Graph
to represent and store data for the process
and environment being automated
to enable Subject Matter Experts to
teach the engine new knowledge
Reinforcement learning
Trial and error to transfer knowledge
from a known task to a novel task
Semantic Knowledge Graph
to represent and store data for the process
Natural Language Processing
to enable Subject Matter Experts to teach the engine new knowledge
Machine reasoning
Process rules to provide control over the automation
Machine learning
Learning the best knowledge to apply to complete a task in a process
Reinforcement learning
Trial and error to transfer knowledge from a known task to a novel task
Other Benefits of Advanced AI
- No black box - Automation is fully auditable
- Works with existing data and systems, no need to secure large pools of structured data
- Does not require a new model or data refresh for each new automation
Digitizing knowledge – your company’s key asset
Knowledge of markets, customers, production and how it is applied is what differentiates companies competitively and enables value creation. HIRO is one of the first platforms that digitizes and automates company knowledge.
The initial benefit is to free up knowledge workers to focus on value creation while HIRO carries out routine tasks. Eventually, the digitized knowledge itself can be applied to create value through both the creation of new product offerings and by removing constraints on securing talent for growth.

IT Service Management
Minimize resolution time by automating level 1 & level 2 support tasks in IT Service Management (ITSM)
Minimizing resolution time is a key challenge in ITSM, to drive down costs and ensure high customer satisfaction.
There is significant time lost in assigning a ticket to right team. Often tickets end up being assigned to wrong teams resulting in multiple rounds of triaging. Also, due to lack of intelligence in current automation tools, multiple tickets are created for same incident if it is reported more than once. All these factors when accumulated results in considerably higher resolution time.
Another major challenge, with commonplace ITSM automation tools, is their static nature which makes it extremely difficult to scale through different scenarios. Experts end up spending considerable time in manually orchestrating these tools resulting in low quality root cause analysis.
Our Solutions
Real time root cause analysis
Intelligent triaging of IT tickets

Finance
Transform finance department by automating the knowledge through entire value chain - from accountants to value managers
Finance teams around the world are burdened with repetitive tasks as reporting, month-end closings, reconciliations etc. These mandatory activities require precious time and resources, that could be best utilized for innovating tasks.
Inconsistent data sources is another major challenge faced by Finance teams. It require lot of time to merge datasets into the same format. These inconsistencies slow down digitization attempts of the finance department.
Regulation changes often require significant adjustments by finance teams to comply with the new framework. Current automating solutions are not flexible enough to keep the pace with the ever changing scenarios.

Supply Chain Management
Increase Supply Chain responsiveness by automating up to 90% tasks in end-to-end Supply Chain
Responsive is one of the key parameters that define a successful supply chain. It has direct impact on company’s customer service, cost and revenue.
The key issue that supply chain leaders face on day-to-day basis is to streamline all blocks of supply chain in order to respond fast to continuously changing demand forecast.
Change in forecast leads to time consuming repetitive tasks such as checking material availability at all levels of bill of materials, purchase order processing, updating ERP systems etc., to be accomplished under a tight time constraint. This often leads to human errors as well as frustration in highly skilled workers.
In a complex supply chain network, a planner may deal with an average of 5000 different SKUs with each bill of material going up to 100 materials.
Current ERP systems have managed to achieve very low level of automation with such massive interlinked datasets.
Our Solutions
Proactive alerts on outages to minimize out-of -stocks
Elimination of human errors by integrating with different sources for data collection
Orchestration of existing automation tools and scripts
HIRO’s advanced AI automates up to 90% of the day-to-day tasks in end-to-end supply chain planning, allowing planners to focus on more intellectually stimulating and rewarding tasks.
Proactive detection of out-of-stock situations by automating checks on forecast, materials at each level of BOM, production capacity & warehouse storage capacity. Depending on the type of outage, HIRO can also decide on the mitigation plan
Automated compilation of reports by collecting data from different ERP systems and databases to minimize human error. Thus, empowering supply chain managers to focus their time and energy on value adding tasks as advanced analysis and decision making.
Orchestration of existing automation scripts and tools autonomously maintaining and fixing the failures.

Agile Automation Methodology
The agile automation methodology comprises of five phases reducing implementation time to weeks by eliminating process discovery, analysis and re-engineering prior to automating. With Knowledge Automation the implementation phase is limited to integration and training with focus on obtaining immediate automation.
Phase 1: Project Kickoff
Implementation starts with project planning, team selection, role assignment and establishing steering committee.

Phase 2: Solution Design
Next phase involves designing the solution by identifying existing systems and data required to automate the selected business process.
1 - 2 weeks
Phase 3: Integration & Training
In this phase integration of existing system and project team training starts in parallel. The phase completes by transferring initial knowledge to HIRO.
2 weeks
Phase 4: Automation of initial tasks
Initial tasks are sent to HIRO for automation along with paired coaching.
1 week
Phase 5: Adding incremental knowledge
In final phase, the solution is scaled by adding new knowledge to HIRO, integrating new systems and on-boarding more employees as required.
