HLACIK
Prague, Czech Republic
About
HLACIK is a Prague AI engineering boutique building edge computer vision, conversational agents and signal-analysis systems for public-safety, healthcare and enterprise clients.
Our Take
Two systems are described in technical detail: SOWA, an in-vehicle edge unit for mobile enforcement, and a VIN-and-license-plate camera pairing YOLO and STR models over Apache Kafka—the VIN page reports 94 percent accuracy in lab tests, and nothing published shows it running on a road.
That project was funded by the Czech Ministry of the Interior under its SecPro security-research program (VC20232024013) and the contract sits in the national contracts register, so the state relationship checks out; the four older projects—vehicle damage assessment, GS1 code reading in hospital pharmacies, ECG arrhythmia analysis, an AI patrol car—name no client, no stack and no measured result.
The Czech Police and Prague's General University Hospital appear as customer logos with nothing published behind them, and the firm's own hiring product, Opus HR, is live at app.opushr.pro without a named customer.
Best for public-safety and clinical buyers who want a computer-vision system built to order by a six-person team, and who can fund the step from a tested prototype to a fielded one.
Key strengths
- The VIN work is verifiable off-site: a research contract between HLÁČIK s.r.o. and the Czech Ministry of the Interior, in the national contracts register under project code VC20232024013
- Technical pages name models and infrastructure rather than 'proprietary AI'—YOLO and STR recognition, Apache Kafka messaging, Kubernetes-managed containers, a 6 TOPS NPU edge unit at 15W
- Six people are named with roles, the two directors match the company's registered statutory directors, and the firm's own hiring product ships a public GitHub package (hlacik/opus-skills)
Good to know
- Ask what has run in the field—the best published figure is 94 percent VIN accuracy in lab tests, and the SOWA page's call to action is a loaned demo unit
- The Interior Ministry, the Czech Police and Prague's General University Hospital appear as customer logos with no case study—ask what each one bought, and when
- Only the CEO is described as an ML engineer; the rest of the named team is architecture, project management and frontend—confirm who trains and runs the models on your project
