HIMA AND DEUTA LAUNCH SAFEHMI SOLUTION

Revolutionary partnership enhances safety in process industry and rail sector with innovative
SafeHMI technology.

HIMA, the world’s leading provider of safety-related automation solutions, and DEUTA, a specialist in certified
display and safety technology, have jointly launched a new solution, SafeHMI, that combines HIMA safety
systems and function block libraries with a safety-related human-machine interface (HMI) panel based on
IconTrust technology.

The innovative solution sets new standards in safety-related visualization, offering context-sensitive alarm
management, safe operation and display monitoring in accordance with SIL 3 (IEC 61508) and has been
consistently designed with an aim to meet functional safety requirements.

While classic SCADA systems and MIMIC panels often reach their limits in safety-critical applications,
SafeHMI delivers clear, prioritized information exactly where it is required.

“With DEUTA, we have a technology partner with decades of experience in the field of safety-related
displays, especially in the rail and transport sectors,” said Jörg de la Motte, CEO of the HIMA Group. “With
SafeHMI, we are creating a solution that makes functional safety in the industrial environment visible,
controllable and digitally manageable.”

Dynamic alarm display and secure input processes

At the heart of the system is the dynamic alarm display, which reduces the burden on operators during fault
situations. Relevant alarms are automatically prioritized, along with concise instructions for action and limited
to a maximum of four simultaneous entries. This ensures that an overview is maintained, even in critical
moments and operating errors are avoided.

The solution allows to make inputs, acknowledgements or safe overrides directly through the touch panel –
tested, documented and validated according to SIL 2/3. This means that maintenance functions or recipe
changes can be carried out digitally and documented in an auditable manner. Bernd Schäfer, Product
Manager at HIMA, said: “With SafeHMI, we are taking display and operating logic to a new level of safety.
