In depth review: How did we save 80% of operating costs by relying on "real machine group control" from manual labor to AI automation?
In the current Internet environment, the cruel reality that everyone is facing is that "dividends become thinner and customers become more expensive".
Last month, our team reviewed a six-month overseas short video matrix project. At the beginning of the project, we hired four full-time operators who were exhausted from the tedious physical work of "editing videos, connecting data cables, guiding files, and publishing them one by one" every day. I haven't created many accounts yet, so I've already burned in a lot of salary and hardware costs.
After learning from our mistakes, we have eliminated tedious manual processes and introduced a mobile group control automation solution based on the real machine ecosystem. Today's article, without going into the big picture, only breaks down how we used the 911 screen casting tool to achieve a three person team leveraging hundreds of accounts, reducing costs and increasing efficiency by 80%.
Farewell to Chaos: Why Have We Abandoned Traditional Hardware Group Control? When searching for a solution, we examined traditional group control solutions on the market that often require the purchase of dedicated servers and passive HUB hubs. A complete set of thousands or tens of thousands is too heavy for entrepreneurial teams.
Later, a technical friend recommended 911 screen mirroring. What impressed us the most about it is its extremely low hardware requirements and strong compatibility.
It is based on the well-known; Scrcpy And FFmpeg Framework. This means that it does not require computer configuration, and an ordinary home computer can smoothly cast screens to control dozens of Android real machines. The connection method is also very flexible. When the wiring in the computer room is convenient, USB connection is used. When pursuing flexibility, high-speed WiFi LAN is directly used.
Two core strategies: How can we use "automation" to reconstruct workflows? After introducing the tool, we focused on restructuring the process for the following three core pain points:
Batch material distribution and installation (say goodbye to manual transmission one by one) Before sending videos, it is necessary to transfer them one by one to the phone using a cloud drive or data cable. Now using the batch operation function of 911 screen casting, select 100 short video materials on the computer, drag and drop them with one click, and the system will automatically distribute them to the designated folder on all phones. Batch installation of APKs and updating applications can also be done with just one click.
Script recording and AI group control (rejecting rigid synchronization) If it is completely rigid same screen synchronization, it is easy for the platform to identify it as "group control cheating". We used its built-in script recording to intentionally add some random pauses and screen swiping arcs when operating the mother machine.
After the recording is completed, it will be automatically executed by AI. The distribution operation in this way not only achieves batch production, but also has the behavioral characteristics of real people, making large-scale account maintenance very safe.
The "remote sharing" that breaks through geographical limitations is a "divine function" that we have discovered in practical use. Our data center is located in a second tier city with lower hardware and broadband costs, while our operations and copywriting director is in Guangzhou.
Through the remote control and sharing function of 911 projection screen, employees in Guangzhou can securely call and operate mobile phones in the data center directly from remote computers, breaking down network and geographical boundaries and achieving perfect asset centralized management and remote collaborative work.
The results and changes brought about by the transformation towards digitalization are immediate and significant. After switching to this mobile group control system:
4 ➜ 1 Labor cost
Reduce from 4 people to 1 person
3 x Matrix Scale Expansion
Traffic is stable and improving
Account size: The matrix size has increased threefold, and due to the pure environment of the real machine, the overall traffic has been running very steadily.
