MHE SPEED SENSOR / OVER SPEED MONITORING SYSTEM

A MHE Speed Sensor system utilizing a proximity sensor is designed to detect and measure the rotational speed of an object without physical contact. This type of system is commonly used in industrial automation, vehicle monitoring, and safety systems due to its durability and reliability in harsh environments.
In this project, a proximity sensor is used to sense the presence of a rotating object, such as a metal object attached to a rotating shaft. Each time the target passes in front of the sensor, it generates a pulse. By measuring the time interval between successive pulses, the system calculates the speed of the object.

• Enhanced Operational Safety: Forklifts operating within safe speed limits reduce the risk of accidents, protecting personnel and equipment.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs: Non-contact sensing minimizes wear and tear, leading to longer sensor life and lower replacement frequency
• Improved Operator Discipline: Real-time monitoring and overspeed alerts encourage drivers to maintain consistent and controlled speeds.
• Data-Driven Oversight (if data logging is added): Enables tracking of speed trends, helping managers identify high-risk behavior and optimize workflow.
