10/22/25, 3:10 PM HIMA and DEUTA present new SafeHMI solution – UAE & Middle East News

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 technolog y 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 provi de generic safety technology for operating and
display units used in the railway sector with over 30,000 units for new fields of application for
