LI-FI based Industrial Safety Module

Safety is one of the main aspects of the industry, specifically core industry. To minimize material loss and human health damage, a protection system along with a rapid communication system is necessary inside the industry. The primary objective of this work is to design a green environment monitoring system for industries using Li-Fi technology to provide secure communication, high data rate transfer, and a pollution-free environment. The traditional system of wired communication along with the Fixed Base station has not been so effective. In this proposed protocol, as a source for data transmission, light-emitting diodes are used and are favored as they have a longer life-time. Different sensors are used to track different parameters in an industrial setting and these sensors relay sensed information in terms of LED flickering using Li-Fi technology. In this work, the main aim is to focus on the detection of abnormal gases, fire, and unusual vibrations in the industries and transmitting this information to the workers using the Li-Fi transceiver. Various adversities hindering the workers and emergency information can be efficiently communicated using this technology. If the sensor senses a value beyond the predefined threshold value, information is sent through text and alarm to the workers. The developed system surpasses most current systems as it provides communication at a rate of 1.5 Mbps with a range of 10 meters and, more importantly, is free of electromagnetic interference. Henceforth, the visible light communication (VLC) technique is exploited for industrial applications.
