Abstract
A method, computer system, and computer program product for optimizing a number of robots for operation of a process at a target system. The method may include providing a plurality of available robots to carry out tasks in the process at the target system. The method may monitor the target system by carrying out the process or part of the process with a varying number of robots to determine the processor utilization whilst the robots are executing a varying number of tasks. The method may balance process constraints of the execution of the process with physical system constraints of the target system by measuring a relationship between a number of tasks at a transactional level and the processor utilization. The method may output the optimized number of robots to be allocated for the process or part of the process.
