The Business Process Support Directorate of the Defense Logistics Agency’s energy arm is implementing the use of robotic process automation across various activities. The agency said Thursday it plans to leverage “bots” to simplify processes such as those concerning data management.
DLA Energy would use bots to manage pricing data on contract solicitations, reducing the time required to update solicitation entries. The use of bots would also help the directorate simplify other tasks including communication.
“For the DLA Energy BPSD Change Management team, a bot can help send routine email notifications to Enterprise Business Portal users,†said Tom Turets, director of DLA Energy BPSD.
U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Albert Miller, commander at DLA Energy, said the directorate coordinates with the agency’s information operations arm to conduct the projects and solicit more efforts across DLA.
