Company information

Optex Co., Ltd. has been providing No.1 global niche products and services to the world with our sensing technology which has been refined since its establishment and its capabilities developed to solve challenges in site-specific environments or purpose of use.

Since our founding, we have specialized in human detection sensors, making sensors for security applications and automatic doors. Recently, we have been developing vehicle detection sensors such as the OVS series.

The common concept of the OVS series is to provide a spatial sensor that can be replaced from induction loops which is buried underground.

OPTEX’s highly reliable vehicle detection sensor installed at prestigious Wentworth Estate

OPTEX’ s vehicle sensor, installed by GT Perimeter Protection, is helping to accurately detect vehicles, whilst ignoring human traffic, at the private Wentworth Estate in Surrey.

Wentworth, home to the world-famous golf course is regarded as one of the UK’s most prestigious addresses. Over the years, Sir Elton John, Sir Bruce Forsyth, sport stars and international royalty have all called it home.

Above ground vehicle sensor solves induction loop detection issues at perimeter exit

The subsiding ground caused detection problems with the induction loop at a site exit. After installing our OPTEX OVS-02GT above-ground vehicle detection sensor, the exit is functioning properly again.

Van der Panne is a scaffolding company for large and small projects. At their location in Hendrik Ido Ambacht in the Netherlands, they store all their materials. Due to this there is a lot of traffic on the premises, from cars to heavy transport. When constructing the premises exit for Van der Panne, Geran Handel B.V. installed an automatic sliding gate and a barrier.

Avoid Collision Damage and Improve Safety

With at least 100 trucks passing through daily, the new barriers faced an issue: vehicles, particularly large trucks, frequently collided with them while they were in motion. The problem stemmed from inadequate protection, as only photobeams between the barrier operators were used for detection. This system did not effectively prevent vehicles from striking the barriers during closure, causing repeated damage, operational disruptions and it was a safety hazard.

 

Sicurtec S.r.l. proposed the OPTEX OVS-02GT sensorsSicurtec S.r.l. proposed the OPTEX OVS-02GT sensors to installer A&C Automazioni S.r.l., who installed two units at the entrance to enhance vehicle detection. Configured to detect only moving vehicles when barriers were active, the sensors ensured safe reopening to prevent collisions. With an 8-meter range, they provided sufficient clearance for trucks.

 

Post-installation, the new system significantly reduced damage to the barriers.Post-installation, the new system significantly reduced damage to the barriers. The barriers now automatically reopen when a vehicle is detected at a safe distance, preventing accidents. The installation was quick and required no soil cuts, ensuring minimal disruption.

Product information

Vehicle Detection Sensor - VIRTUAL LOOP OVS-02GT

The Virtual Loop vehicle detectors are a great solution for sites where ground loops cannot be installed, such as when the road surface is damaged or unsealed, where there are cobble stones, or above drains or pipes.

The OVS-02GT detects the presence of a small or large stationary or moving vehicles within 8 meters while ignoring human traffic. It is easy to install; unlike ground loops, no civil works are required, and the device is mounted 500 mm from the ground. The OVS-02GT connects to an automatic barrier, slide gate, swing gate and industrial door. All of setting is done by smart phone App which support iOS and Android. It is possible to set all of setting by App and has 11 default setting for barrier, slide, swing gates. A lot of parameters adjustment, the calibration and the sensor status could be set by the App.

Vehicle Detection Sensor - OVS-50TNR

The OVS-50TNR Monitored Hybrid Photoelectric Beam offers cost-effective, stable and versatile Active Infrared detector. The AIR dual beam set offers extreme stability in all kinds of weather. No wiring is required at the Transmitter side, which means less installation time and lower labor costs, plus there is no need to cut the driveway. The OVS-50TNR has a battery life of eight years and a long range: up to 15 m（50 feet), point to point.

ViiK Parking Occupancy System

Possible to install easily for existing parking or temporary one.

The sensor is battery operated, so no hardwire required. Since the battery lasts approximately 5 years, it doesn’t require any maintenance. Also the battery is replaceable and it will help to save the equipment replacement cost. This sensor could be installed to concrete, asphalt or gravel surface by changing bolts or anchor pins.
