NSE Stock Monitoring using Robotic Process Automation

Abstract

The core objective of the project is to automate the backend office work of monitoring stocks daily. The project uses “Robotic Process Automation” to download the daily stock values from NSE website, feed the data into an Excel Sheet and send it to the required recipient through E-mail. Software for robotic process automation (RPA) is designed to perform basic tasks across applications just like human workers. A process with multiple steps and applications is taught to the software robot, such as taking received forms, sending a receipt note, verifying the completeness of the document, uploading the form in a folder, and updating a spreadsheet with the form name, the date submitted, etc. Like deep learning, with some support from programmers, the software robots used in robotic process automation are programmed by the employees to do the tasks in a specific workflow. The software is not learning on its own or trying to adapt new efficiencies or new insights such as tools for enterprise resource management (ERM). RPA acts as a remote worker assistant by clearing up the burdensome, simple tasks that eat up part of the day of each office worker.
