Low-code platforms have emerged as a powerful solution, enabling organizations to automate processes quickly and efficiently without the need for extensive coding expertise.
This introduction to low-code platforms for business automation explores how these tools are transforming workflows, empowering teams to build custom solutions, and driving digital transformation across industries.
In today’s edition of tech Tuesday, we look at low-code solutions that can simplify complex tasks, reduce costs, and accelerate your business’s journey toward automation.
UiPath Platform
UiPath has announced the next evolution of enterprise automation – agentic automation. Agentic automation uses both robots and agents to complete work tasks. Robots automate repetitive and rule-based tasks, improving efficiency, and reducing manual effort, while agents adapt to changes, making intelligent decisions, and handling complex and dynamic processes. Agents complete critical business processes and tasks that were not previously possible to automate due to their ability to act independently and make dynamic decisions. UiPath has also announced the launch of Autopilot for everyone – a cross-platform, GenAI conversational agent that helps every employee enhance productivity at work regardless of their technical ability. Autopilot for everyone provides an intuitive LLM-based conversational experience, customisable prompts, vast automation libraries, and specialised AI models for specific tasks such as document understanding and semantic copy-paste. These tools can support employees in almost any industry including healthcare, manufacturing, finance and retail
Mathworks/MATLAB
MATLAB by Mathworks has become the preferred platform for millions of engineers and scientists across the globe, facilitating a comprehensive workflow that spans from data analysis and algorithm development to AI and the modelling and simulation of complex systems. Its application is widespread across various sectors, including aerospace, defence, communications, finance, renewable energy, mining, and automotive. In its commitment to empowering engineers to excel and expedite innovation, MATLAB has evolved into a low-codeenvironment. This evolution encompasses a desktop environment optimized for iterative analysis and design processes, alongside an iterative programming language. Furthermore, MATLAB is equipped with an extensive selection of apps that streamline common tasks and workflows in science, engineering, and research, eliminating the need for manual coding. These apps cover a broad range of functions, such as data analysis, control design, machine learning, and signal processing, making MATLAB a comprehensive tool for professionals in these fields.
