10/22/25, 3:07 PM HIMA and DEUTA present new SafeHMI solution
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. In critical situations, operators not only receive information, but also clear instructions for action
and they can rely on what they see being accurate."

Display with a guarantee of reliability – thanks to IconTrust

A key safety feature is the IconTrust technology developed by DEUTA. It continuously monitors screen
content and reliably detects any deviations between the displayed and expected values. This makes the

display itself an active safety element that is certified up to SIL 3 , offering operators maximum reliability.

Fully integrated into the HIMA Safety platform

The SafeHMI solution is fully integrated into the HIMA Safety Platform. Configuration, modifications and
enhancements are carried out using standardized function blocks, which are offered as part of a certified
library. This makes SafeHMI an important component of HIMA’s #safetygoesdigital initiative, with which

the company is driving digitalizing of the entire life cycle of safety-related systems and their peripherals.

"In partnership with HIMA, we can now provide generic safety technology for operating and display units
used in the railway sector with over 30,000 units for new fields of application for which no comparable
