HIMA's Smart Safety Test Boosts Efficiency at

BASF's Zhanjiang Site

31 Mar 2025 2 Min Read CW Team
HIMA's Smart Safety Test is streamlining safety procedures at BASF's Zhanjiang Verbund Site
Project (ZVSP) in China, improving efficiency in Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Integration FAT
(IFAT), and loop tests. The solution, part of HIMA’s SILworX® engineering tool, automates testing
and documentation, reducing manual effort and enhancing accuracy.
Initially, the FAT and IFAT were conducted manually, revealing the need for a more efficient
approach. The automated solution now ensures comprehensive testing of static functions and
complex start-stop sequences while generating test evidence automatically.
The collaboration between BASF and HIMA engineers led to a new testing and verification
framework, optimising test quality and identifying minor deficiencies early. This resulted in faster
FAT and IFAT processes, reduced documentation workload, and improved compliance with project
specifications.
Peter Sieber, Vice President, Strategic Marketing, HIMA Group, said, “This project is an excellent
example of how close collaboration between a user and a solution vendor can create added value
at project implementation and operation. It is also a prove of HIMA’s commitment supporting clients
in making the complexity of functional safety more handable.”
Encouraged by the success, BASF and HIMA are now exploring the use of Smart Safety Test for
loop tests and automated proof testing in plant operations.
