Light-guided operations
Your efficiency
in the limelight. Your efficiency, Simplicity, Precision, Clarity, Flexibility, Rapid deployment, Observability.
A beam of light shows your operators exactly where to go and what to do, so they never have to search for it.
Use cases
Picking
The beam lands on the bin, the operator picks, and the next location lights up — one order after another.
Put-away
Empty locations light up where the goods belong, so they land right the first time.
Replenishment
Locations that run low call for the beam; replenishers walk straight to them.
Sorting
The beam marks the spot each item belongs, so a mixed pile is separated easily.
Kitting & assembly
The beam marks the next part and the bin it goes into, step by step.
Returns
Each returned item lights up the location it belongs to — no shelf hunting.
How it works
- 01
Your WMS asks for a target
A single call from your system identifies the location and the action.
- 02
Limelight aims the beam
A clearly visible mark lands on the calibrated location. Its colour tells which action to take.
- 03
Your system says done, and the light goes dark
A confirmation coming from your system clears the station. Ready for the next target.
Simplicity in the limelight
Operators follow the light.
No labels to read, no screen to check, almost nothing to train — whatever the task happens to be. Search less, perform more.
Precision in the limelight
The right location, every time.
Wrong picks and missed locations drop to near zero. There is no rework, no returns and no misplaced goods to hunt down.
Clarity in the limelight
One colour per action.
Each action shines its own colour — pick, put, count, assemble, anything you map. Operators can tell what to do at a glance, and changing a look is configuration, not code.
Flexibility in the limelight
Nothing bolted to the shelves.
No modules, no cabling on your equipment, no layout expectations. Mount a fixture overhead, calibrate once, and use your racks, totes, trolleys, bins or pallets as your operation demands.
Rapid deployment in the limelight
Live in an afternoon.
Mount a fixture overhead, calibrate your locations once, and connect it to your execution system. Operators are guided the same day — a pilot can start on real work right away.
Observability in the limelight
The whole site at a glance.
See which stations are online, monitor the system's own performance and darken the whole site with one call.
Integration in the limelight
Two calls in the hot path, whatever runs your operation — WMS, MES, ERP or a simple script. Idempotent, retry-safe, with an OpenAPI spec included for generating a client.

Limelight is a guidance device. Your existing system manages the workflow, confirmation and process metrics, so there's no second source of truth to drift out of sync.
- Doesn't hold orders
- Doesn't confirm operations
- Doesn't duplicate your process
Let's put your operation in the limelight
If you'd like to see Limelight in real life, request a demo and we'll show it to you in action. The demo needs nothing from your side — we're coming with our complete demo set. If you'd like to see how it improves your operation, let's talk about setting up a pilot on your site.
