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.
