10/22/25, 3:11 PM HIMA and DEUTA present new SafeHMI solution – Executive Bulletin
“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
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.
