Healing Agent and AMS: a stable robot portfolio

An SAP screen changes and half your robot portfolio stalls? Healing Agent detects the interface change and repairs selectors on the fly, and our AMS team guards the whole — before the business notices.

25incidents in the week after one SAP update — that is how many stoppages this example company's 60-robot portfolio logged before anyone could react.

Executive summary

The challenge

A 60-robot portfolio built over years; every source-system change breaks selectors.

What changes

Healing Agent repairs interfaces on the fly; Mientha's AMS team runs monitoring, fixes and evolution.

Business value

Process continuity instead of night alarms; a predictable maintenance cost.

Systems & scope

UiPath Orchestrator, Healing Agent, Insights; Mientha AMS 24/7.

Illustrative scenario

A 60-robot portfolio, built over 5 years by three vendors

The robots run invoicing, payroll, reporting and logistics. They work — until someone changes a screen, a field or permissions in a source system. Then the firefighting day begins.

The author of half the robots no longer works there. Documentation is partial. After a major SAP update, IT spends a week fixing selectors instead of building anything new.

The current reality

  1. SystemAn SAP update changes screen layouts
  2. Error riskRobots fail one after another — at night
  3. WaitingInvoices and reports wait; the business calls in the morning
  4. HumanIT hunts for the robot's author and the documentation
  5. HumanManual selector fixes, robot by robot
  6. Error riskProcesses return after days; trust in automation erodes

The hidden cost of the current process

A robot failure costs twice: once in IT, once in the process that stopped.

  • 48 engineer-hours a month on interface repairs — on average, outside post-update spikes.
  • Critical processes stall for hours before anyone notices — the cost sits in the business, not IT.
  • Fear of change: teams postpone system updates because they “break the robots”.

The cost of doing nothing

A year of manual interface fixes≈ 25 900 €
3 years — the same maintenance debt≈ 77 800 €
Business-process downtimeoutside this model

Manual work is an operational tax: the automation investment is finite, the manual cost is paid again every month.

The process after automation

  1. AutomationHealing Agent detects the interface change at the first error
  2. AutomationRepairs the selectors on the fly and resumes the process
  3. AutomationAMS monitoring 24/7 watches every portfolio and queue
  4. HumanPermanent changes are approved by an engineer — fully documented
  5. AutomationA monthly report: stability, utilisation, recommendations

What the automation handles

  • Detecting and repairing interface changes on the fly
  • Monitoring queues, licences and performance 24/7
  • Alerts before unfinished queues touch the business

When a human decides

  • Approving permanent robot changes
  • Portfolio growth and new automations
  • Architecture decisions and standards

Value model — example assumptions

Illustrative model
8 interface incidents × 6 h of repair= 48 h / month
48 h × €45 engineer cost= €2,160 / month
12 months× 12
The annual repair cost alone — excluding downtime≈ 25 920 €

Business benefits

  • Critical processes keep running while systems change
  • IT stops firefighting — and returns to building
  • A predictable monthly maintenance cost instead of surprise failures
  • A portfolio documented and measured — independent of its authors' memory

What management gains

  • A monthly report: stability, utilisation, portfolio savings
  • Hard data for decisions: which robot to grow, which to retire
  • System updates stop being an operational risk

Human approval: Teams / Action Center

What we deliver

  • A portfolio audit: stability, documentation, risks
  • Healing Agent rollout on the highest-risk processes
  • 24/7 monitoring with alerts and escalation thresholds
  • Maintenance takeover from previous vendors
  • Documentation completed with every fix
  • A monthly stability-and-recommendations report

What we need to start

  • Orchestrator access (log reading)
  • The critical-process list and owners
  • Existing documentation — in any state
  • A service window for monitoring rollout

Implementation roadmap

Discovery

We map the process, data and exceptions with process owners.

Design

Target flow, business rules, approval thresholds.

Build

Agents, robots and integrations in your environment.

Validate

Tests on real cases, exception handling.

Go-live

Controlled rollout with human oversight.

Optimise

Monitoring, reporting and continuous improvement.

Typical duration depends on systems and rules — a single process is usually weeks, not quarters.

Risk and controls

Autonomy under control

  • On-the-fly repairs touch the interface only — business logic untouched
  • Every permanent change engineer-approved and versioned
  • A full repair history in Orchestrator
  • Critical processes with a guaranteed response time

Why now

  • Every next system update is the same week of firefighting
  • The portfolio grows while the knowledge walks out with people
  • Healing Agent changed maintenance economics — legacy AMS contracts ignore that

Why this matters to:

CIO

The automation portfolio stops being a black box left by past vendors.

COO

Invoicing, payroll and logistics stop stalling after every system change.

CFO

Maintenance at a predictable rate instead of unplanned failure costs.

Questions we usually hear

“Another vendor built our robots.”

That is our daily bread. We take over portfolios from others: audit, stabilisation, documentation. After a quarter the portfolio is jointly ours — and documented.

“Healing Agent will break the process logic.”

It repairs only the interface layer — selectors, not rules. Permanent changes still need an engineer's approval. Business logic stays untouched.

“We have our own RPA team.”

Great — let them build new things. We take the on-call, the monitoring and the repairs. Your most expensive people should not carry the pager.

When this may not be the right solution

  • A portfolio of a few simple robots — good documentation is enough
  • Robots slated for retirement this year — do not invest in maintaining them
  • No Orchestrator / central management — platform foundations first

A question for your next board meeting

Which critical process will stall at the next SAP update — and who finds out first: you or your customer?
