Overview of HIMA Safety Innovation and SafeHMI Solution
In modern process industries, safety automation is no longer limited to shutdown logic—it now extends to visualization, interaction, and lifecycle management. HIMA, a global leader in safety-related automation, has taken a significant step forward by introducing the SafeHMI solution in collaboration with DEUTA.
SafeHMI integrates certified safety controllers with a high-integrity Human-Machine Interface (HMI), delivering SIL 3-compliant visualization and control. Unlike traditional SCADA or mimic panels, this solution provides:
Context-sensitive alarm prioritization
Dynamic alarm display (limited to critical alerts for clarity)
Certified safe operator inputs and acknowledgments
Full compliance with IEC 61508 (SIL 2/3)
A key innovation is the IconTrust technology, which continuously verifies that displayed data matches actual system values—turning the HMI itself into an active safety component.
For engineers managing Petroleum spare parts, Power plant spare parts, and Steam turbine spare parts, this advancement significantly improves operational reliability and reduces human error in critical environments.

HIMA Programmable Electronic Systems (PES) Product Families
HIMA's safety portfolio is built around robust Programmable Electronic Systems (PES) designed for high-availability and safety-critical applications.
H41q / H51q Series (SIL3, AK6)
These systems are designed for large-scale, high-demand safety applications:
H41q / H51q-MS – Modular systems for standard safety tasks
H51q-HS – High-speed processing for demanding logic execution
H51q-HRS – Highly redundant systems for maximum availability
These platforms are widely used in complex Distributed Control System replacement parts environments requiring scalability and redundancy.
HIMatrix Series (SIL3, AK6)
The HIMatrix family is a compact, flexible, and cost-effective safety controller series, ideal for both centralized and distributed architectures:
F20 / F30 / F31 / F35 / F60
It is particularly suitable for projects requiring fast deployment, modular expansion, and seamless integration with DCS spare parts ecosystems.
