Vehicle Detection System

 Introduction OPTEX’s OVS-01GT is a vehicle detection sensor that does not require burial. Unlike loop coils, there is no need to bury it underground, so it’s not necessary dig into the ground for installation or maintenance, reducing construction time and cost. Additionally, its human cancellation enables to ignore human and detect vehicle only. (patent pending) In India, it’s common to use loop coils for vehicle detection at car barriers, swing and slide gates in parking lots. Because loop coil needs to be buried underground, it requires digging work and dedicated machineries for construction. Additionally, construction work makes noise, so consideration is needed in such places that requires a 24-hour quiet environment such as hospitals. In a case of loop coils, not only regular maintenance but also a case that something goes wrong with the coils, road traffic must be stopped and the ground dug up to check. Lanes should remain closed during maintenance, causing issues with vehic...

Rooftop Protection

 A rooftop security sensor is a device installed on the rooftop of a building to enhance security by detecting and alerting to potential threats, intrusions, or unusual activities in the rooftop area. During nighttime or after business hours, the potential for intruders gaining access and attempting to steal valuable materials and confidential data poses a significant risk. Such incidents can disrupt business operations and erode customer trust. Intruders can break into a building from various intrusion point, including not only through windows and entrances of buildings, but also through rooftops. Additional attention is required especially for buildings where valuable items are stored or high-rise buildings. In India, the common practice is to employ security guards to mitigate this risk. However, challenges related to human factors, including motivation, skills, and ethics, can emerge. Moreover, as labor costs increase, so do a company’s overall expenses. To address these issues...
