Without understanding the problem, one cannot arrive at the right solution.  Hence, collection of sample videos demonstrating the actual process helps define the complex sets of rules in developing the appropriate solution and helps in understanding the actual numbers and precise roles of the robots and how effectively the solution will streamline the process targeted for automation.

 Screen Recorder is an important feature to record the process.  The significance of this feature is that, there is absolutely no room for error as every step is recorded through this audio video device, which has editing options to make the entire process of recording of the potential process for automation, absolutely unambiguous and easy to understand.  Time is saved and since perfection is maintained from the word go, the entire process of automation is executed efficiently.
