In collaboration with the safety shoe manufacturer ELTEN, a safety shoe was developed as part of my employment at Kunze&Kraft GbR, which is intended to have a positive influence on the wearer’s well-being in cold and warm working environments by influencing an appropriately placed temperature element. The modular hardware system of the ELTEN Smartastic series (see ELTEN Smartastic Distance) was used, which was expanded to include a corresponding control module. The setup was designed for initial laboratory tests.

A module is used for the power supply, another for Bluetooth LE communication and computing operations, as well as a module for recording the temperature and humidity inside the shoe, which also contains a vibration motor for tactile feedback.

I was involved in the conceptualization of the project and designed and supervised the production of all electronics. I also developed the firmware for the main module and the temperature module. I also developed the app with the Ionic Framework according to graphic specifications from Karl-Ludwig Kunze and Bernhard Schipper.
