It is a known fact, that more and more people are spending a big part of their lifetime sitting at a static workplace. It is also known, that this leads to injuries like disturbed blood flow, neck pain or even damage of the spine. Currently a rising number of workplaces is getting smarter. They offer the ability to be adjusted in height and to get connected closer to the user. People working at such workplaces simply need to get used to that functionality and the positive effects on their personal health. The challenge is that currently there is no ideal interface between the user and the workplace. One idea to solve this issue is to use standard smartwatches, which are worn by the user and are able to interact with the intelligent work environment. The aim of this thesis is to find ways, how standard smartwatches can be integrated into an intelligent office environment. The main focus of the thesis is to create a foundation for further developments in that field. Therefore a target system is defined and a system architecture is built upon that. In correlation to the target system the toolchain is set up and the integration is realized through exemplary implementations. These implementations were also tested and verified by a defined group of people. The exemplary implementations show, that an integration of smartwatches into intelligent work environments is possible from a technical standpoint. Next to that, a defined group of people conduct tests with the smartwatches. The survey, which has to be done by the group after the tests, showed that smartwatches bring many challenges in terms of haptics, usability and availability. It is planned to continue the developments in the field of smartwatches and their sensors to finally create a real added value for users of intelligent work environments.
