Zacti's New Video Marker Feature: Streamlining Report Creation
Zacti Corporation, headquartered in Osaka, Japan, is making waves in the world of digital solutions with its latest innovation: the Video Marker feature, set to be launched in mid-October 2025. This functionality is designed primarily for remote assistance and evidence documentation, providing a seamless experience for users in the field when generating reports. With this new tool, operators can easily extract necessary scenes from their recorded videos and save them as still images, enhancing efficiency in documentation.
What is the Video Marker Feature?
The Video Marker feature enables field workers to easily assign markers while filming, allowing for quick review and saving of critical scenes as still images directly through a web application. Leveraging wearable cameras, workers can capture videos of their tasks and use voice triggers or QR code scanning to mark significant scenes and take images without interrupting their workflow, thereby maintaining productivity.
Once filmed, the videos are uploaded to a dedicated server where they can be accessed for timeline playback. The platform presents an organized view that simplifies both marker and still image retrieval, facilitating fast access to essential recordings and significantly boosting the efficiency of report creation and review processes. This feature is particularly beneficial in sectors such as construction and inspection, where it helps document anomalies and secure evidence during operational issues.
The Inspiration Behind the Video Marker Feature
Traditionally, in settings like equipment installation and inspection, it was common practice for workers to pause their tasks to take photographs for their reports using smartphones or digital cameras. This approach often led to problems such as missed shots that resulted in incomplete reports or a lack of evidence in the event of issues arising. While comprehensive video recording had its advantages, the time-consuming nature of sifting through long footage to find relevant scenes rendered it challenging for practical use in the field.
To address these challenges, Zacti has continuously promoted digital transformation in field operations through remote assistance and server-sharing services. The desire to improve operational efficiency and reduce the burden of report generation on field workers, supervisors, and administrators prompted the development of the Video Marker feature.
Key Features and Benefits
Effortless Capture and Storage
By equipping Zacti's wearable camera, workers can ensure all aspects of their tasks are recorded without any extra effort, capturing crucial details hands-free.
Hands-Free Marker Assignment
Utilizing voice commands like “live, mark” or scanning QR codes, workers can assign markers and capture images without disrupting their operations.
Swift Scene Extraction Management
The web application allows users to play back uploaded footage on a timeline, displaying thumbnails of marked scenes. This eliminates the need to review entire recordings, facilitating easier documentation and report creation workflows.
Expected Outcomes
- - Enhanced efficiency in report generation and task reflection for field workers.
- - Reduced workload for supervisors and administrators in verifying work.
- - Increased safety in field operations through hands-free recording.
