#### Paperless Traceability for Manufacturers

Turn any workstation into a Tracesavvy production terminal. This companion app connects your on‑site hardware—USB weighing scales and network label printers—to the Tracesavvy platform for real‑time, paperless traceability.

The app runs quietly in the background and bridges communication between physical devices and the Tracesavvy web interface. Weight readings from USB serial scales are streamed live, and label print commands are sent directly to your network printers without extra drivers or middleware.

A built‑in kiosk mode launches a dedicated full‑screen terminal for the shop floor. Operators get a focused, distraction‑free interface for production, dispatch, inventory, and quality control tasks, keeping records audit‑ready with zero paperwork when used with Tracesavvy.

Designed for food manufacturers, bakeries, and production facilities using Tracesavvy. Sign in with your Tracesavvy account, connect your USB scale(s), add your network label printer(s) by IP, start the service, and you’re ready to run.

Requirements: an active Tracesavvy account, compatible USB serial weighing scales, and network label printers available on your LAN. Learn more at tracesavvy.co.uk.

## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Tracesavvy

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/)
The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported
install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites)
installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:

```
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
```

Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
```

If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
```

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
