[Realpacking Recorder] Snapshot Worker Type: Capture the Moment of Scanning as a Single Image

Realpacking Recording Program v3.9.0 Beta is now available.

This update introduces a new worker type that captures the moment of scanning as a single image: Snapshot. It instantly saves the screen at the moment a barcode is scanned as a lightweight image, so you can lightly document fulfillment and inspection zones where one frame is all you need.

Work Where One Image Is Enough: Where Snapshot Fits on the Floor

Many zones on the warehouse floor are fully covered by a single frame captured at the moment of scanning. These are situations like simple fulfillment confirmation or inspection confirmation, where you only need to preserve one scene proving that "this shipping label was processed together with this product."

Take, for example, an automated equipment line where products move past in seconds along a conveyor. In zones like these, lightly capturing the exact moment of scanning as a single image is a great fit.

Snapshot is a new recording type built for precisely this kind of work. It saves the screen at the moment of scanning as a single image, so you can keep records lightly and review them quickly.

Snapshot: Capturing One Screen as an Image the Moment a Barcode Is Scanned

Snapshot is a worker type that instantly saves the screen at the moment a barcode is scanned as a single image. It has been newly added to the recording types you can choose when registering or inviting a worker. With no separate start or stop action required, the screen is automatically captured and uploaded as a lightweight image (WebP) the instant a barcode is scanned.

The image format carries straight through to the review screen as well. In the web admin's recording detail view, Snapshot records appear directly as images, and you can enlarge them with the full-screen button for a closer look.

The transfer page and OpenAPI are supported too. Because the snapshot image appears in the video player accessed through the transfer page and OpenAPI, customers who receive the recording can review the image in the same flow.

Snapshot makes operations noticeably lighter. The storage size per record is light, easing the load on storage and transfer, and since there's no need to manually start or stop, the work is simple: just scan. It runs without interruption even in high-speed scanning environments, processing up to about 80 frames per second continuously.

❓ How to Use

Snapshot works in a simple three-step flow.

1. (Admin) On the worker account management or invitation screen, select "Snapshot" as the recording type.
2. (Worker) When a barcode is scanned, the screen at that moment is automatically captured and uploaded as a WebP image. No separate recording action is needed.
3. (Receiving customer) On the transfer page, the work can be reviewed as an image.

From scan to automatic capture to upload to sharing, everything flows along with no extra action required from the worker.

💡 Pro Tip

Snapshots also let you set the storage quality and resolution. The default quality keeps images sharp while packing them into a noticeably lighter file size, making it easy to split usage between cases where you need to zoom in for fine detail and cases where you don't.

So you can match the settings to what you're capturing.

• For items where detail matters, like jewelry or luxury lines → High quality
• For simple quantity identification or product identification → Default quality is plenty

It's also worth gauging how much you can store on each plan. The figures below are approximate counts assuming you fill your storage with snapshots alone. The lower the resolution, the smaller each file, so you can store more.

‍

Snapshot is an especially good fit for floors where single-record fulfillment or inspection evidence is the main goal, lines that scan large volumes quickly, and customers who prefer lightweight evidence because of storage cost and retention period.
‍

⚠️ Note

• Snapshot preserves a single scene at the moment of scanning. If your work requires reviewing the entire packing process continuously, we recommend recording with the video worker type.
