Abstract
The cement market is increasingly competitive with the rise of imported cement, which of course must be answered by cement producers among competition. One of the main processes that should not be disturbed is the supply of limestone from quarry to the factory. The safety of people, processes and equipment are certainly necessity for the production process to run smoothly. The problem that can occur in limestone supply is a breakdown on the Overland Belt Conveyor (OLBC) which is caused by a broken roller and causes the belt to tear and potentially fire. For this reason, prevention efforts need to be done with an early warning mechanism to provide alerts to interested parties. Early warning system can be applied to the process because it can detect the beginning of heat so that fires can be prevented. Therefore, it is necessary to install a sensor using optical fiber called a linear heat detector (LHD) on OLBC. Installing the LHD system on OLBC can effectively detect an increase in roller temperature which then becomes an early warning for operators in the control room 24 hours a day to prevent incidents that cause harm to the company due to belt fires or torn belts.

Summary
Kondisi industri semen di Indonesia tengah menghadapi tantangan, dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang stagnan dan kenaikan jumlah konsumsi dalam negeri maupun luar negeri yang rendah. Proses utama yang sering terganggu adalah pasokan bahan baku batu kapur dari quarry ke pabrik. Pabrik semen yang berada di Citeureup memiliki Overland Belt Conveyor (OLBC) sejauh 7kilometer untuk mengangkut batu kapur dengan kecepatan maksimum 5.6 meter perdetik, kapasitas maksimum 4.500 ton per jam. Permasalahan yang dapat terjadi pada pasokan batu kapur adalah breakdown pada OLBC yang diakibatkan oleh roller yang rusak, belt robek, dan bahkan berpotensi kebakaran. Sistem peringatan dini atau early warning system dapat digunakan sebagai sistem kontrol otomatis untuk mendeteksi dan mencegah terjadinya insiden khususnya kebakaran pada OLBC. Perlu dilakukan pemasangan sensor menggunakan fibre optic yang disebut linear heat detector (LHD) pada OLBC guna mendeteksi dan mencegah terjadinya insiden khususnya kebakaran dan kerusakan belt
