• Increase productivity through automation of common tasks
• Minimize data risks by incorporating common workflow operations, making tasks foolproof to human error.

A key element to programming automation via robotics is to maintain orientation. Orientation refers to the physical location in terms of x, y, and z coordinates in order to programmatically instruct the robot to the exact physical location of a component. Automation increases in difficulty when orientation for the component is lost, the scenario commonly referred to as "bin-picking," or locating parts that are randomly oriented and chaotically stored in a bin. The robotics must discover the component and re-orient, often requiring some form of visual inspection (i.e. a camera)

The same principles apply when automating file based workflows, however the component of interest is generally a file located within a file system. Unfortunately, when files are created without organization and structure, orientation is lost at the point of creation. The coordinates of files are typically lost at time of data creation with unstructured data, creating a "bin-picking" problem for files. The file system becomes a robotic bin, with files randomly oriented and chaotically stored or scattered throughout a collection of file systems.
