Sensors for industrial shutters and forklift detection

In 1980, OPTEX developed the world’s first automatic door sensor using infrared technology.
Since then, OPTEX has accumulated a high level of sensing technology through the development of environmentally friendly products focusing safety and comfort of passers-by.
This technology also can be utilized for opening and closing large shutters in industrial sites such as factories and warehouses.
Such shutters are entrances and exits where loading work is frequently done.
So sensors developed for shutters contribute to make smooth flow of vehicles / forklift, to maintain good hygiene and to improve safety and productivity at the work site.

And in warehouses, accidents involving forklifts would be one of the most common cause of life-threatening industrial accidents. OPTEX’s vehicle detection sensor “OVS-01GT” (no need to bury) detects the movement and presence of vehicles and can be used in many applications. Installing OVS-01GT where a forklift passes in the warehouse and can be used for systems that detect the approach of forklifts and notify it to the surroundings.

(Whether the sensor is suitable or not for your site depends on the size of the forklift, site layout, installation position, etc.. Please contact our sales team for details.)

The ViiK – OVS-01GT is a vehicle detection sensor using combination of microwave and ultrasonic technology. It’s designed to detect the approaching, presence, and leaving of vehicles.
It’s strong against the environmental factor such as rain and wind. Also it has human cancellation capability to detect only vehicles.

Installing OVS-01GT where a forklift passes in the warehouse and can be used for systems that detect the approach of forklifts and notify it to the surroundings.
