Souderton-based LimnTech Scientific is making roadways safer through the tech it engineers. The dangers its product eliminates will benefit not just for drivers but also highway-maintenance employees.

LimnTech Scientific’s LifeMark-100 Automated Layout System is a robotic line-stripe painter. It attaches to the front of a truck designed for this purpose and, without human intervention, marks roadways for safety.

The system was recently sold to Dan Swayze & Son, a seal-coating provider in Scotch Plains, N.J.

The LifeMark-100 improves upon the first-generation LifeMark-75, which revolutionized the capability to paint lines without risking human injury.

The upgrade makes the automation system easier to operate and even more accurate. It can lay out roads at speeds of up to 15 mph, cutting time by a third.

The LifeMark Automated Layout System — in its latest iteration — combines cameras, high-accuracy GPS, and real-time artificial intelligence machine learning techniques to do roadway striping in autonomously.

LimnTech Scientific already has its automation products for road striping equipment deployed across North America. Thousands of roads have been recorded and laid out quickly using the company’s state-of-the-art trucks while keeping workers safely out of harm’s way.
