Running multiple instance of the same robot simultaneously

Hi all.
Is it possible to running multiple instance of the same robot simultaneously. Want to spawn of few instances of the robot and try to make the process more optimal.
How can this be achieved?

Thanks!

Management Console will only allow 1 instance of a robot to run at a time.  You would need multiple versions of the robot (different Robot.name).  It would be difficult to orchestrate multiple versions of 1 robot, however.

An alternative method which I utilize frequently is to break up steps into separate robots.  Each robot completes one specific task(s).  This can be quite effective when there is a complex long-running process to automate.  Robots can run simultaneously or can be called to run as needed.

This is a great question. Many vendors already solved that 'queue/work management' within their software.

jking, I am sorry to disagree.

You might be thinking of schedules, where one schedule has a 'running' status when started.
The robots can be started multiple times and they can manage the work e.g. one gets item 1, one gets item 2, then first gets item 3 etc this can be achieved by many options [file management, allocation management, specific rules, inputs etc]. We are now at a space where we can achieve scalability in the time of excess workload, which means the only limit is our license and infrastructure capacity.

There is however a benefit in 'breaking up' the process into separate robots, but sometimes this creates duplication, dependencies and inefficiencies, plus design of the hand-over point, re-work avoidance, Ad-hoc reporting and other type of additional logic required. However, Jking is right, this still sometimes one of the best things you can do.

Good news is: that Kofax have taken steps to help us

Have a look at the above URL.
This means not only queue management can be done, but also, reporting can be standardised, unfortunately at a cost to capacity and some additional infrastructure requirements.
