How to run Test suite multiple times in robot framework?
Tried using for-loop and Repeat Keyword but both didn't help out , could I get exact solution of how to iterate a test suite in robot framework.

Robot has nothing to support this. You will need to write your own script which calls robot periodically over the 12 hour period. You can use the --outputdir option to have each run write to a unique output folder, and when the test run is finished you can combine all the reports into one big report with rebot.
Another solution would be to leverage a continuous integration tool such as jenkins or teamcity to automatically schedule runs over a period of time.

Thanks I'll try it out and get back if I get struck anywhere.\
You can use looping concept for this Iterating tests robot framework this code worked for me try this
*** Settings ***
Documentation
Library Selenium2Library
*** Variables ***
@{HOMEPAGES} https://www.google.com https://www.google.com
${Browser} Chrome
*** Test Cases ***
testing with several links
:FOR ${homepage} IN @{HOMEPAGES}
\ Funtionality ${homepage}
*** Keywords ***
Funtionality
[Arguments] ${homepage}
Open Browser ${homepage} ${Browser}
Add all functionality which ever you need to perform
In the above code, I used Funtionality as a keyword and it will consider as one loop and runs, give the result

You could use continuous integration, not sure why you would run the suite multiple times,
another thing is you could
robot tests/suite.robot tests/suite.robot ... which would result in your suite running twice or more times for example

you could try merging your outputs using --merge flag, so they would not be replaced, there is another possibility to output a new log and give it a number so they wouldn't overwrite the previous ones, but I can't find it in the documentation (it is definitely there) robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/… For continuous integration, you could use Jenkins, Circle CI or Travis CI
