ABSTRACT

The Overheat Detection System using an 8051 microcontroller is an advanced project aimed
at ensuring safety by monitoring and preventing overheating in various environments. The
system incorporates a DHT sensor to accurately measure temperature, with real-time data
displayed on an LCD screen for user awareness. A predefined threshold temperature is set
in the microcontroller, and when exceeded, the system activates a buzzer to alert users,
ensuring immediate action can be taken. Powered by a reliable power supply, the project
combines efficiency and simplicity, making it highly suitable for applications in industrial
safety, home appliances, and electronic equipment protection.

This system is highly versatile and can be further enhanced for various applications.
By integrating additional features such as wireless communication modules, it can
transmit alerts to remote monitoring systems, enabling real-time supervision across
broader areas. The use of the 8051 microcontroller ensures cost-effectiveness and
simplicity in design, while the DHT sensor provides accurate and reliable temperature
readings. With its straightforward implementation and potential for scalability, this
project demonstrates an effective approach to mitigating risks associated with
overheating in diverse scenarios.

INTRODUCTION

Overheating is a critical issue in various industrial and domestic applications, as it can lead
to equipment failure, fire hazards, and compromised safety. To address this challenge, a
robust overheat detection system has been developed using an 8051 microcontroller. This
project incorporates a DHT sensor for precise temperature measurement, a buzzer for alert
indication, and an LCD display for real-time temperature updates. The system is powered
by a stable power supply and is designed to provide a simple yet effective solution to
monitor and alert users about temperature thresholds.

The 8051 microcontroller serves as the heart of this system, efficiently processing
temperature data from the DHT sensor and triggering the buzzer when overheating is
detected. The LCD display enhances usability by providing clear and continuous feedback
about the environmental temperature. This project not only emphasizes the importance of
safety in temperature-sensitive environments but also showcases the capability of
microcontroller-based systems in automating critical tasks.
