By continuously monitoring work groups and work queues, Robot Manager determines which work groups require more robots to complete all of their assignments on time, and which work groups have more robots than required based on the service-level agreement (SLA) of open assignments and the work group priority. As a result, Robot Manager automatically moves robots across work groups to ensure that the number of robots in a given work group is enough to efficiently complete all open assignments.

Automatic workload balancing provides the following advantages in terms of efficiency and costs:

• Automatic re-purposing keeps all available robots busy, and working with minimal idle time.
• As a robot administrator, you can focus on other tasks because you do not need to: manually monitor the current status of robots, workgroups, and assignments; and you do not need to manually move robots between work groups or, alternatively, create applicable schedules.
• As the robots are constantly redirected to complete open assignments across multiple work groups, you need fewer robots to complete the incoming work.
