Microsoft is a global leader in low-code automation and enterprise software, integrating RPA directly into its Microsoft Power Platform through its Power Automate technology.

In 2021, Microsoft expanded its automation capabilities by acquiring Softomotive, combining desktop RPA with cloud workflows to create a unified platform. Microsoft Power Automate helps mining companies to bridge the gap between field-level operational technology and corporate ERP systems.
Businesses within the mining industry use Microsoft’ s Task Mining and Power Automate to automatically locate bottlenecks. Its cloud-based desktop completes automated tasks across siloed systems without complex IT infrastructure. This allows mining operators to track safety audits and vendor workflows continuously, while automating alerts on Microsoft Teams and Outlook.
Through Microsoft’ s ecosystem, mining enterprises can govern end-to-end execution, which leads to lower costs, Microsoft 365 integration and scalable operational efficiency.
