  text: 'Visible-light communication is a promising technology for industrial environments.
    However, a variety of physical effects may influence the communication quality
    in this potentially harsh environment: Dust and other particles lead to increased
    attenuation. Artificial light sources and industrial processes, such as grinding
    and welding, cause optical cross-talk. A multitude of reflective surfaces can
    lead to fading due to multi-path propagation. These three aspects are experimentally
    investigated in exemplary manufacturing processes at five different production
    sites in order to estimate the relative importance and their specific impact on
    VLC transmission in industrial areas. Spectral measurements demonstrate the presence
    of interfering light sources, which occupy broad parts of the visible spectrum.
    They give rise to flickering noise, which comprises a set of frequencies in the
    electrical domain. The impact of these effects on the communication is analysed
    with reference to the maximum achievable channel capacity and data rate approximation
    based on on-off keying is deduced. It is found that cross-talk by environmental
    and artificial light sources is one of the strongest effects, which influences
    the optical, but also the electrical spectrum. It is also observed that industrial
    areas differ strongly and must be categorised according to the manufacturing processes,
    which can induce quite a variation of dust and attenuation accordingly.'
