LED-Signaltechnik macht Prozesse sicherer und transparenter

Clearly recognizable signals & process reliability

LED signaling technology delivers instantly visible, unambiguous information—for operators, maintenance teams, and automation systems. This increases safety, improves response times, and reduces operating errors.

Industrial-grade & reliable in operation

LED signal lights from LED2WORK are robust, vibration-resistant, and designed for industrial environments. Even in 24/7 operations, signals remain stable, clearly visible, and highly reliable.

Efficient, flexible & future-ready

Modern LED signaling technology supports networked production processes with low energy consumption, long service life, and flexible control options. Ideal for machines, systems, and automated workflows.

 

Reference customers & application areas

Classic Signaling

Clear visual status indication for machines, systems and processes

In production environments, unambiguous visual signaling is essential for safe operations and fast response times. Operating states, faults, or process steps must be immediately recognizable at a glance – even from a greater distance or under changing lighting conditions.

Typical requirements:
Highly visible status indicators, clear color coding (RGB/RGB-W), quick recognition from different viewing angles, rugged design for industrial environments, easy integration into existing systems, reliable continuous operation, future-proof communication.

LED2WORK solution:
LED2work is one of the technology drivers in the field of IO-Link-capable signal lights. Our solutions enable direct, bidirectional communication with the controller – including parameterization, diagnostics, and real-time status queries. This is complemented by powerful analog variants for classic applications. The result: flexible signaling concepts for both modern and existing systems.

Recommended lights:

SIGNALED II RGB/W for clearly visible machine and process states
TUBELED_25 RGB-W & IO-Link as a linear status indicator with direct controller connectivity
DOMELED 50 / 90 for 360° all-round visibility, also available as an IO-Link variant for smart status communication
INROLED 50 RGB-W for hygienic signaling in food & pharma areas

Machine Status & Visual Escalation Systems

Transparent system states for maximum productivity

Unlike classic signaling, where individual states are displayed, the focus here is on active process monitoring and escalation. Downtimes, deviations, and faults are visualized in real time and automatically forwarded – enabling faster responses and minimizing production losses.

Typical requirements:
Real-time status displays for machines and lines, clear escalation logic (e.g. green/yellow/red), visualization of downtime and deviations, clear assignment to lines or zones, integration into higher-level systems (e.g. MES/OEE), flicker-free and highly visible displays, reliable 24/7 operation.

LED2WORK solution:
IO-Link-based status lights for direct integration into modern automation architectures, flexible parameterization of colors and states, centralized diagnostic capabilities, and scalable concepts – from individual machines to complete production lines. This transforms signaling from a pure display element into an active control instrument.

Recommended lights:

TUBELED_25 RGB-W & IO-Link for dynamic line and machine status
DOMELED 50 / 90 IO-Link for highly visible escalation displays
SIGNALED RGB/W for local status indication at individual stations
TUBELED_40 II RGB-W for combined task and status lighting directly on the machine

Logistics & Intralogistics

Smart signaling for automated material flows

Intralogistics covers all internal material and goods movements within a company – from goods receipt and conveyor technology to sorting systems, order picking, and shipping. In modern logistics centers, these processes are increasingly automated and AI-driven, for example through autonomous vehicles (AGVs/AMRs), intelligent sorting systems, and adaptive material flows.

Especially in such highly dynamic environments, clear visual signaling is essential to instantly communicate machine status, travel clearance, faults, or transfer points – equally understandable for both people and systems.

Typical requirements:
Highly visible status indicators in large halls, clear color coding for travel clearance and fault conditions, synchronization with automated systems (AGVs, conveyor technology), flicker-free light quality for camera systems, rugged design for 24/7 operation, flexible integration into modern control architectures.

LED2WORK solution:
IO-Link-capable signal lights for direct connection to automated logistics systems, flexible parameterization of colors and states, clear visualization of travel routes, transfer points, and system status, scalable concepts ranging from individual stations to complete logistics centers. Our solutions have also proven themselves in large-scale intralogistics projects – including highly automated distribution centers.

Recommended lights:

TUBELED_25 RGB-W & IO-Link for dynamic status indication on conveyor and sorting systems
DOMELED 50 / 90 IO-Link for 360° status signaling in transfer and traffic zones
SIGNALED RGB/W for clearly visible status at individual stations
TUBELED_40 II RGB-W for combined illumination and status signaling on logistics systems
