A key highlight of the showcase is HIMA's RaSTA implementation, integrated into the Open Safety
Platform, which provides a highly efficient approach for SIL 4 solutions in railway automation.
Alongside safety, HIMA is also presenting solutions for Rail Electrification, Mobile Solutions,
and Secure Ecosystems, addressing the digital transformation in rail transport.

Chris Elliott, Global Head of Rail at HIMA, emphasized, "Our holistic solutions, based on the
Independent Open Safety Platform, avoid being tied to proprietary systems, allowing for greater
flexibility in the digital age of rail transport."

Key Innovations Presented By HIMA:

Independent Open HIMA Safety Platform: The platform incorporates the RaSTA protocol (Rail Safe

Transport Application), enabling future-proof EULYNX implementation and creating flexibility for
railway operators.

Railway Electrification: Showcasing innovative solutions for the control and safety-critical shutdown
of the traction power supply, utilizing TrackLink® SCADA to ensure robust energy management.

Rail Control System: Intelligent automation solutions for critical infrastructure, such as interlockings
and level crossings, designed to enhance safety and operational efficiency using SIL 4-certified

systems.

Mobile Solutions: TrackLink 3 guarantees safety for onboard applications, with HIMA's TrackLink
Overspeed Prevention System offering the first and only SIL 2-certified overspeed prevention
system for tramways.

Cybersecurity: In collaboration with IT security leader genua, HIMA is creating secure ecosystems to
protect railway operations against cyber threats.

Safe HMI: Introducing a new SIL 3-certified HMI that eliminates the complexity of hardwired panels,
offering a safe display solution with added touch functionality.

At InnoTrans 2024, HIMA is reaffirming its commitment to delivering smart, secure, and flexible
solutions to support the railway industry's digital transformation.
