Camera Package Seal Inspection on the Line
A sealed IP67 Robopipe camera mounted above your conveyor checks the seal on every pack in under 50 milliseconds without slowing production. The deep-learning model spots visible seal defects before air enters the pack and spoils the product on the shelf. Hardware and software come together in one monthly rental plan.
How does the camera detect a defective or contaminated seal?
A 12 MP camera captures every passing pack and a deep-learning model compares the seal against labelled images of good and faulty packs from your belt. Without hand-written threshold rules, it flags visible flaws such as a wavy seal or product caught inside the sealing area.
The camera evaluates only flaws visible in the image. On bottling and pharma lines, the same vision setup verifies cap, tamper seal, and closure presence and position. Related surface and foreign-body checks appear on our defect detection page.
Can one camera check seal tightness and pack contents together?
Yes, one camera verifies seal integrity alongside ingredient completeness, piece count, and foreign objects in a single pass without extra stations.
In a pilot at MG Servis, one camera ran 5 checks per pack of beans wrapped in bacon, checking seal tightness, bacon wrapping, and foreign objects with no extra belt staff. See the MG Servis case study and packaging completeness inspection.
What happens when a pack fails the seal check?
On a connected line, verdicts show on the floor display while the AI PLC fires your rejector or stack light via digital I/O, RS485, Modbus, or EtherCAT, saving every image for audit export.
How do operators add a new tray or film format?
Staff add new pack types in Robopipe Studio without programmers, labelling production samples with a wizard and retraining in 15 to 40 minutes.
How much does camera package seal inspection cost?
Paid plans start at €390 per camera per month excluding VAT on Standard, or €590 per month on Pro including the AI PLC rejector outputs, on-site mounting, and service.

Frequently asked questions
Does seal inspection slow down the packaging machine?
No. The camera mounts above your existing belt, adds no mechanical step, and judges each pack within 50 milliseconds.
Does the camera handle washdown around meat and ready-meal packers?
Yes. The fully sealed IP67 camera withstands steam, pressure washing, dust, and chiller cold during daily sanitation.
Does inspection run offline without cloud connectivity?
Yes. Inference runs locally on the AI PLC at the belt and raw frames stay in the plant unless exported.
How many pack formats can we store in one system?
All plans allow unlimited inspected products and pack formats.
