The LifeMark®-100, LifeMark®-300, and LifeMark®-400 Systems
What’s the Difference?
What’s the Difference Between the LifeMark®-100, LifeMark®-300, and LifeMark®-400 Systems?
At LimnTech Scientific, we understand that every pavement marking project is different—and choosing the right technology for the job can make a major impact on safety, accuracy, and productivity. That’s why we’ve developed three distinct systems in the LifeMark® lineup, each engineered to meet specific operational needs in roadway striping and layout.
While they all share a core mission—to reduce risk and increase efficiency—the LifeMark®-100, LifeMark®-300, and LifeMark®-400 systems differ in both function and the underlying technology they use.
LifeMark®-100: Automated Layout System
The LifeMark®-100 is designed for one primary job: automated layout. Whether you’re preparing a new roadway or replicating existing markings after resurfacing, this system allows you to record and accurately reapply layout marks—all from within the safety of a vehicle.
Key Capabilities:
- Records layout positions using GPS and cameras
- Replicates those marks on the new surface with high precision
- Eliminates the need for workers on the road during layout
- Supports importing layout files from external sources
- Can be installed on a pickup truck chassis or integrated into a pavement marking truck
Best For:
Contractors or agencies needing to record or replicate markings before and after resurfacing or construction.
LifeMark®-300: Automated Re-Striping System
The LifeMark®-300 is a dedicated automated re-striping system. Instead of relying on GPS, this system uses AI and camera vision to recognize existing lines and precisely place new striping over them—without requiring any external connectivity.
Key Capabilities:
- Controls paint guns and striping carriage automatically
- Uses cameras and AI to detect and follow existing markings
- Performs re-striping over existing lines
- No GPS, RTK, or cellular connection required during operation. (Cellular connectivity required for service and updates.)
- Adapted to fit on new or existing pavement marking trucks
Best For:
Organizations focused on re-striping roadways where existing lines are present, but in need of re-stripe maintenance.
LifeMark®-400: All-in-One Layout + Re-Striping System
The LifeMark®-400 combines the best of both worlds. This hybrid system is capable of performing automated layout using GPS and INS as well as automated re-striping using cameras—all on one platform.
Key Capabilities:
- Records and replicates layout using GPS, RTK, and INS
- Performs re-striping over existing lines using camera vision
- Controls both layout placement and paint application
- Designed to integrate with new or existing striping trucks
Best For:
Teams looking for a versatile solution that can handle both layout and re-striping with maximum automation and adaptability.

Final Thoughts
Choosing between the LifeMark®-100, 300, or 400 depends on your specific project needs:
- If you’re focused on safe, efficient layout, go with the LifeMark®-100—perfect for a pickup or paint truck.
- If you’re re-striping over existing marks, the LifeMark®-300 provides simple, GPS-free automation for your striping truck.
- If your operation demands both layout and re-striping, the LifeMark®-400 gives you maximum flexibility in a single, integrated system.
