High Density Bots

High-Density Robots are designed to maximize machine utilization by enabling multiple robots to run on a single machine simultaneously. This feature allows organizations to efficiently allocate resources by assigning separate robots to different user profiles on the same system, whether it is used by a single user or multiple users.

By leveraging High-Density Robots, businesses can significantly enhance scalability, as more automation tasks can be executed without requiring additional hardware. This approach optimizes performance, reduces infrastructure costs, and streamlines automation workflows.

Support Robot Type

Unattended Robot can be configured in a High-Density environment.

System Requirements

Below are the system requirements to install high density robot

1. Processor: Quad-core 2.4 GHz, 64-bit (x64)
2. RAM: Minimum 32GB and above.
3. Disk Space: 50 GB available storage.
4. Local Disk Access: Read and write permissions required
5. Operating System:
    a. Windows 10 (Pro, Enterprise; 64-bit)
    b. Windows 11 (64-bit)
    c. Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, or 2022
6. .NET Framework Requirements:
    a. Version: 4.8.1 or higher (4.8.1 is recommended)
    b. Ensure the latest updates for the .NET Framework are installed.
7. Browser:
Supported for automation:
    a. Google Chrome (latest stable version)
    b. Microsoft Edge (latest stable version)
    c. Internet Explorer 11 (for legacy compatibility)
Extensions must be installed for browser automation. 

Note: On a machine with a Windows Server 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, and 2022.

1. You can run the same process with all Robots at the same time.
2. You can run different processes with all Robots at the same time.
For installations on Windows Server machines (that enable concurrent execution – HD Robots), OS and the underlying hypervisor (virtual environment) should allow Robility to create folder paths that are specific to each user. 

Limitations

The underlying hypervisor or virtual environment setup will determine the number of concurrent logins that can be established to each VM. To understand your VM setup, try logging in manually to the same machine with different usernames simultaneously.

In some cases, the underlying hypervisor may need to be configured to allow successful concurrent connections to the same VM.

Adding a high-density robot

Follow the below steps to see how a high-density robot is added to a machine and how the users are added to the same machine.

1. Login to the Robility Manager.
2. Navigate to the “Resources” menu from the left-hand side.
3. Select “Add” option from the top right corner of the page to add a new resource as high-density.
4. Choose “High density bots” from the drop down and choose the number of licenses required.
5. Fill in the mandatory details and click on save.

Once we add a machine to the manager and assign a high-density bot to it, we now have to move to the project and add the users for that machine.

Navigate to the project and edit the license

1. Navigate to projects from the main menu.
2. Click on edit against the project and see that the number of licenses is same as the number of licenses added to a high-density bot while adding a machine.
3. Click on save to update the licenses.
