Case Study: Wärtsilä achieves 400 automated processes and 180k hours saved with UiPath

400 Automated Processes Supported by a Citizen Developer Community

Wärtsilä, a global marine and energy technology provider operating across 200+ locations, needed to accelerate digital transformation while keeping process automation in‑house and involving key users. To improve efficiency, reduce errors, and scale adoption, Wärtsilä evaluated RPA vendors and chose UiPath’s Robotic Process Automation platform after UiPath alone delivered a successful pilot automation.

UiPath enabled a rapid rollout (first production process built in under two weeks and live by week three) and helped Wärtsilä build a citizen‑developer ecosystem and Center of Excellence. With UiPath, Wärtsilä now runs over 400 automated processes, has 100+ citizen developers, trained ~900 people and reports about 180,000 hours saved, delivering clear efficiency gains and broad cultural adoption.
