About

Petr Koudelka is a leading researcher at the intersection of optical wireless communications and industrial automation, with a primary focus on Visible Light Communication (VLC) and localization technologies. His most-cited work, a 2022 study on tracking solutions for Industry 4.0 and the Operator 4.0, has garnered 30 citations and provides a comprehensive analysis of how VLC-based localization can enhance telecommunication and tracking in smart manufacturing environments. Koudelka’s major contribution lies in bridging the gap between cutting-edge optical communication systems and the practical needs of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), particularly in supporting the human-centric Operator 4.0 paradigm. His research addresses the critical challenge of precise indoor positioning and reliable data transmission in complex industrial settings, where traditional radio-frequency methods often fall short. By demonstrating how VLC can enable seamless, real-time tracking of assets and personnel, Koudelka has helped pave the way for more efficient, safe, and responsive smart factories. His work is particularly notable for its emphasis on technology-driven solutions that remain adaptable to evolving human roles in industry, making him a key voice in the ongoing digital transformation of manufacturing.
