Safe and Secure
Digitalisation brings with it new challenges, particularly in the area of cyber security. HIMA's

partnership with genua, a renowned market leader in IT security, addresses the growing
concerns about cyber security in railway operations. The collaboration creates a secure
ecosystem that guarantees maximum security for railway operators: safety and security are

managed independently but in parallel, ensuring robust protection against potential cyber
threats while maintaining operational integrity. At InnoTrans, it will be demonstrated how
remote maintenance access can be efficiently secured in different environments.

Safe HMI

One of the product innovations that HIMA will be showcasing at InnoTrans 2024 is a new
safe HMI (SIL 3). HIMA is thus eliminating the disadvantages of conventional, hard-wired
panels: they are inflexible, complex to set up and difficult to maintain. Based on proven HIMA

technology, standard protocols and DEUTA hardware, HIMA provides a safe display solution
that shows the operator critical SIL 3-rated information that would normally require a
hardwired panel. In addition, the HMI offers a touch function (SIL 2). This enables, among

other things, the safe display of an overhead line shutdown/earthing with an indication of the
active and safe (earthed) status as well as the activation or deactivation of the overhead line
via the HMI. The corresponding alarm function of such a system is also displayed.

‘Our global rail team is looking forward to present at InnoTrans how we can support our

customers in digitalization by reaching the highest safety and security standards and creating
sustainable solutions,’ explains Jörg de la Motte.
