Who is Patlite?
Alright folks, let me tell you about Patlite. They’re this badass company that makes all kinds of cool shit for industries like manufacturing, transportation, and healthcare. We’re talkin’ audible alarms, beacons, light strips, and light towers that are top-notch in quality, durability, and ease of use.
And here’s the best part – they’re always stayin’ ahead of the game by constantly expanding their product line. They’ve got wireless data-acquisition systems, programmable signal towers, and even IO-Link and POE-enabled devices. These guys are on top of their game!


What’s New in 2023
Now, let me show you what these guys have been up to lately. In June 2023, Patlite dropped their LB6-IL programmable multi-color IO-Link signal tower. This thing is a game changer, folks.
- First off, we’ve got the ‘Simple mode.’ This bad boy lets you visualize equipment status by dividing the lighting into 1 to 5 tiers. You can set different colors and flashing patterns to indicate various severity levels. Talk about customization, am I right?
- Then we’ve got the ‘Level meter mode.’ This mode lets you visualize temperature and tank level information. Depending on the tank level, a preset lighting pattern will activate. It’s like having your own personal LED show!
- Last but not least, we’ve got the ‘Animation mode.’ This mode is all about visualizing the takt time of the manufacturing process. You can display elapsed time by setting the colors from top to bottom or bottom to top. It’s like a little light show telling you how long shit takes to get done!


And get this, folks. We’re talkin’ about takt time! It’s the time it takes to make one unit of product. How freakin’ cool is that?
There’s more….
But wait, there’s more! Patlite ain’t stoppin’ there. They’ve got this touch sensor model in their NE-USB Series now. And get this, it eliminates the need for a physical switch. It’s like the future, folks.
And if that wasn’t enough, the DLL software library is compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS. So you can use this bad boy in an office, retail, or industrial setting. Talk about versatility!
So there you have it, folks. The Patlite NE-USB signal beacon. It’s easy-to-use, reliable, and efficient. It’s the future of communication, right at your fingertips.
