10/22/25, 3:11 PM HIMA and DEUTA present new SafeHMI solution - Middle East Business News and Information - mid-east.info
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 solution has been available to date. In combination with the HIMA safety

system, the application possibilities are almost limitless,” said Dr Rudolf Ganz, CEO of the

DEUTA Group and DEUTA-WERKE.
