An Inside Look at Automated Layout and Restripe Technology.
In today’s pavement marking industry, technology is evolving rapidly — and expectations are rising. If you’re looking to boost productivity, reduce labor, and increase line consistency, the LifeMark®-400 Auto Layout and Restripe Assist System deserves a close look.
Like any advanced tool, the LifeMark-400 performs best when matched to the right applications and operating conditions.
Two Core Capabilities. One System.
The LifeMark-400 combines Auto Layout and Restripe Assist in a single integrated platform, using GPS, HD cameras, AI, and advanced robotics.
Auto Layout Mode
In layout mode, it functions as a LifeMark-100, capable of surveying or importing marking designs and applying layouts up to 10-mph. This results in:
- 10x faster layout than traditional methods
- Up to 97% labor reduction
- One operator safely in the cab
- Stable data capture, depending on RTK/cellular connectivity and visible markings
If field survey isn’t possible, files can be uploaded directly.
Restripe Assist Mode
Restripe Assist uses onboard tech to track existing lines and automate spray control. It:
- Detects and follows visible markings
- Controls the carriage and guns automatically
- Supports full-auto, semi-auto, or manual modes depending on job conditions
While it doesn’t necessarily increase throughput, it boosts quality, reduces operator stress, and minimizes the experience needed to achieve consistent results. Especially valuable in high-turnover crews or during long, fatiguing shifts.
Where It Excels
The LifeMark-400 is ideal for companies or agencies that:
- Perform both layout and restripe work
- Need to upgrade temp markings to durable
- Struggle with labor shortages or high turnover
- Want to modernize operations while improving safety and accuracy
It performs best when line visibility is good, layout demand is high, and quality standards are critical.
Built for the Future: Level 3 Automation
The LifeMark-400 is a baseline Level 3 automation system, designed for human-supervised automation. It’s not fully autonomous — but it’s:
- Reducing manual tasks like tracking and triggering
- Upgradeable with future software and hardware improvements
- Positioned to evolve with AI, sensor tech, and cloud integration
It’s a smart foundation for today, and a scalable tool for tomorrow.
Considerations Before You Commit
Like any advanced tool, it has limitations:
- Requires good RTK and cellular signal
- Performs best with clearly visible markings
- Operators still need training and judgment
- Not a “push-button” solution — it’s a professional-grade system
Setting clear expectations ensures better results and adoption.
It Right for You?
Ask yourself:
- Do I want to reduce labor while improving line quality?
- Can I support basic operator training?
- Am I ready to invest in scalable automation?
If yes, the LifeMark-400 may not just be the right tool — it may be your next competitive advantage in pavement marking.
