Embedded Solutions is a business segment at HIMA specializing in the development of miniaturized safety solutions. HICore technology is at the heart of the business. It is a safety-system-on-chip: ideal where maximum safety is required but space is very limited. This applies to drive technology, logistics, medical technology, in the energy business, robotics or home care, to only name a few. Companies which implement HIMA's embedded solutions benefit from customized safety technology in very small spaces.
Locating the HIMA Innovation Centre in FiDT Technology and Start-up Centre in Kassel offers very easy access to the innovation networks in the region and also to other innovation centers in Germany. Furthermore, the Centre's conference and meeting rooms and excellent public transport links provide the ideal infrastructure.
Steffen Philipp, Managing Partner at HIMA, said at the opening of the new site: "We are delighted to have founded this Centre for Innovation. We anticipate that it will give a considerable boost to our new Embedded Solutions business segment." Dr. Stefan Gölz added: "The whole team brings experience in functional safety in the embedded sector. They have also already been involved in a number of different development projects at HIMA through our lengthy collaboration with the University of Kassel."
