Conventional hardwired panels and non-safe visualizations often fail to meet modern safety and cybersecurity standards. Evolving compliance requirements, increasing system complexity, and rising cyber risks demand a smarter solution.

SafeHMI offers a future-proof alternative – digital, safety-certified, and user-friendly. It supports operators in managing safety-critical processes through clear, focused displays, active alarm guidance, and secure interaction. All functions are designed for use in safety-relevant applications and comply with IEC 61508 requirements.

Leak Detection Systems (LDS). We say 'Stop leaking money' because, beyond the environmental safety aspect, undetected leaks are direct revenue losses. Our systems provide high-sensitivity detection to identify and locate leaks quickly across vast distances.

Current control and monitoring solutions for rotating machines tend to be overly complicated and can adversely affect the efficiency of the machines and their cost operation. HIMA uses a holistic approach for the modernization of turbomachinery control. With the combined solution for safety, security, and critical control, you can operate your turbomachinery at maximum efficiency and safely at its limits. 

Digital retrofit: Smart automation concepts for a future digitalization

Greater efficiency: Optimization of control and safety, and the streamlining of workflows 

Security: Standardized solutions for a secure environment in turbomachinery applications

HIPPS Solutions: Reliable, Flexible Pressure ProtectionIn light of increasingly strict environmental regulations, it is important to minimize emissions wherever possible. High-integrity pressure protection systems (HIPPS) prevent over-pressurization of pipelines by shutting off the source of high pressure. In contrast to conventional relief systems, HIPPS solutions contain excess fluids or gasses in the system instead of releasing them. This increases safety, reduces losses, and prevents emissions, ensuring your plant complies with regulations.

HIMA’s approach to Safety Lifecycle Digitalization (also referenced under the initiative #safetygoesdigital) is a comprehensive, end‑to‑end digital transformation strategy aimed at improving functional safety, compliance, efficiency, and operational performance throughout the entire safety lifecycle.

HIMA defines Safety Lifecycle Digitalization as a holistic process covering all stages—from engineering and operations through expansions and modifications. By digitizing functional safety processes, operators gain improved safety adherence, reduced errors, automated testing, and enhanced KPI visibility. 

Key benefits include:

Higher safety performance through strict process adherence and automated functional safety workflows.

New analysis and optimization options, including automatically generated safety‑related KPIs.

Error elimination and reduction of lost or inconsistent data via digitized recordkeeping.

For BMS, the priority is to 'Keep Fire Under Control.' In furnaces, boilers, or heaters, we protect and automate the ignition and monitoring sequences. This ensures that fuel and air are managed safely, preventing explosions and ensuring compliance with strict international standards like EN 746 or NFPA 85.

Our 2nd most implemented application across globe. We integrate detection—like flame, smoke, or toxic gas sensors—with mitigation actions, such as triggering alarms or suppression systems, all within a SIL-rated architecture.

HIMA Safety Platform – the world’s first scalable safety platform with built-in automation security. Additionally, it is the only platform that combines compact SIL 3 applications and highly complex, redundant solutions – offering less complexity in an increasingly complicated world. 

The HIMA Safety Platform is especially stable and safe because the hardware and software are uniformly tailored to one another and combine to create a closed system. The components are:

Hardware

HIMA experts support you in determining the best combination of proven HIMA safety controllers for your application.

• HIMAX This is our flagship solution for large-scale, complex applications. When we talk about 'Maximum Profitability,' we’re referring to its uninterrupted operation. It allows for hardware changes, modifications, and even CPU upgrades without ever shutting down the plant. It's the ultimate choice for high-availability systems where downtime is not an option. It also offers high-resolution event timestamping, supports HART passthrough modules, and enables up to quadruple redundancy by hosting as many as four CPU modules, along with several other advanced features

• HIMatrix is our compact solution. It is incredibly fast—often used in applications requiring sub-millisecond response times like Emergency Shutdown (ESD) for smaller units or high-speed machinery control. It’s networked safety at its best, ideal for distributed applications.

• HIQuadX represents our flexible, scalable middle ground. It’s the successor to our legendary HIQuad system, bringing modern performance to a familiar architecture. It’s perfect for mid-sized applications that require a balance of high performance and cost-efficiency.

Engineering Software

Our engineering tool SILworX enables you to develop your applications quickly and simply – reducing training costs. 

Firmware

We use our own proprietary firmware in every HIMA controller. This minimizes risks equally in terms of functional safety and automation security.

Secure Communication

The SafeEthernet protocol connects all your HIMA systems securely – regardless of where they are.
