13b. Intro to the Robotic Enterprise Framework - Automation Project Overview
Hello and welcome to the Robotic Enterprise Framework, also known as REFramework, training!
This project template is meant to be used as the starting point for almost any automation project. We're excited to start exploring how it can help you integrate many of the best practices regarding logging, exception handling, application initialization, and others into the complex business processes you are developing. We hope you are too!
In the first part of this series, we'll explore the mechanisms that make up a working REFramework project that uses an Orchestrator Queue. The process is a Consumer (or Performer), which gets queue items and enters data into the UiDemo application.
In the following demos, we'll build projects from scratch using the REFramework template configured to work both based on Orchestrator Queue Items and other sources of data.
While going through the overview videos, we recommend focusing on the key functions of each state, the workflows used in each state, the transitions between the states, the argument flow, the exception handling system, the stop mechanism, and logging.
