IP67 Washdown Camera for Quality Inspection
Robopipe mounts a fully sealed IP67 industrial camera above your conveyor to inspect every item in wet plants, steam zones, dusty bakeries, and cold stores. The local AI PLC controller classifies each piece in under 50 milliseconds without slowing the belt. Washdown-rated IP67 hardware comes included as a rental in every paid monthly plan.
What sanitation conditions does the IP67 camera handle?
Sanitation crews wash the sealed IP67 camera down with the hall, as the housing withstands steam, spray, pressure washing, flour dust, and freezer cold without protective hoods.
On traditional vision platforms, washdown enclosures cost extra. Robopipe ships IP67 hardware by default across paid plans. In direct high-pressure spray zones, plants should also watch sealed lighting and stainless brackets, as explained in AI quality control on wet, fast food lines.
How does the camera run at belt speed without a cloud link?
Technicians mount the 12 MP camera above your conveyor in washdown rooms or chillers, triggering frames on an encoder pulse, light barrier, or fixed frame rate.
Inference runs locally on the AI PLC offline, triggering your rejector or beacon over digital I/O, RS485, Modbus, or EtherCAT. Task examples appear on our defect detection page.
How does washdown inspection perform in food production?
At Crocodille, Robopipe cameras operate on three sandwich lines at 3,600 pieces per hour per line, running 19 checks on every baguette.
Crews watch pass rate and top defects live on a floor screen, fixing drift before losing a batch. After learning on one item, staff added all later products themselves, as shown in the Crocodille case study.
How quickly can floor staff add new products?
Most lines start inspecting within one day of mounting, and staff train new items in Robopipe Studio in 15 to 40 minutes without writing threshold rules.
How much does IP67 washdown camera inspection cost?
All paid plans include IP67 washdown-rated hardware starting at €390 per camera per month excluding VAT on Standard, or €590 per month on Pro with on-site washdown installation and priority service.

Frequently asked questions
Do crews remove the camera before pressure washing?
No. The IP67 housing is fully sealed so crews hose it down in place alongside the conveyor during sanitation.
Does the camera work in chillers and dusty rooms?
Yes. We install the sealed hardware directly in washdown rooms, chillers, freezer cold, and flour dust environments.
Does local edge processing protect our production images?
Yes. The AI PLC runs inference at the belt and stores raw frames locally so images never leave the plant without permission.
Are timestamped photos saved for retail audits?
Yes. Every inspected unit can keep a timestamped image and verdict for customer complaints and retail audits.
