Czech AI Camera for Production Line Quality Inspection
Robopipe is a sealed IP67 camera, AI PLC controller, and deep-learning platform that checks every item on a moving belt. Built in Prague by Czech company robopipe s.r.o., a spin-off of KOALA42, it goes live without integrators or custom code. We deploy it on production lines and in warehouses across food processing, pharma, e-commerce, and logistics.
Who builds Robopipe in the Czech Republic?
Robopipe is developed by robopipe s.r.o. in Prague 8 Karlín (Company ID 24111791), led by managing directors Filip Molčík and Jan Jelínek. Work started at KOALA42 in 2024 after building factory vision systems repeatedly, and a team of five runs Robopipe today.
The capture, labelling, training, and inference loop is open source under robopipe on GitHub. Engineers can inspect the JSON training config.
What defects does the camera catch at line speed?
A 12 MP camera above your belt captures every piece and the AI PLC unit classifies it in under 50 milliseconds without slowing production. Frames trigger on an encoder pulse, a light barrier, or a fixed frame rate.
One camera finds surface flaws, missing or swapped ingredients, defective seals, foreign objects, wrong piece counts, missing labels, or unreadable batch codes and best-before dates. Operators see pass rate, piece count, takt, and top defects on a floor display, while the controller triggers your rejector or stack light via digital I/O, RS485, Modbus, or EtherCAT. Hardware details are on our camera quality inspection page.
Can the camera survive washdown sanitation and cold stores?
Yes, the sealed IP67 housing handles steam, pressure washing, dust, and freezer cold. Sanitation crews hose it down with the hall, and your belt needs no extra mechanical step. Inference runs locally on the AI PLC offline, and raw frames stay in the plant unless exported.
How fast can operators train new products without programmers?
Most lines run their first check within one day of mounting, and floor staff train new products themselves in 15 to 40 minutes in Robopipe Studio. On Pro and Enterprise plans, auto annotation in Robopipe Vision drafts boxes from label descriptions for human approval, with one-click rollback.
At Crocodille, staff learnt on one product and now run 19 checks per baguette across three lines at 3,600 pieces per hour per line. Wolfberry counts capsules at 99.95% precision across all fills, and MG Servis verified five pack checks with one camera. Details are in our case studies.
How much does Robopipe cost per camera?
Paid plans start at €390 per camera per month excluding VAT, with the IP67 camera included as a rental.

Frequently asked questions
Do we buy camera hardware upfront?
No. Paid plans include the IP67 camera as a rental, and Pro and Enterprise include the AI PLC, mounting, and service.
Can we self-host the open-source edition?
Yes. The GitHub platform runs for free on your own hardware, including a Raspberry Pi.
Are images saved for audits?
Yes. Every check can keep a timestamped image to export pass and fail records for audits.
Do you integrate with ERP and MES?
Yes. Enterprise connects Robopipe to your ERP or MES.
