SPS IPC Drives: HIMA presenting smart package solutions

At this year's SPS IPC Drives in Nuremberg, HIMA is presenting package solutions comprising hardware, software and services. On 27–29 November, several models will be on display at Stand 440 in Hall 9, enabling visitors to learn first-hand how plant operators can benefit from HIMA’s integrated safety solutions. True to the motto “Smart Safety”, they combine functional safety with IT security for optimal protection of people and facilities in the digital era.

Hartmut Leistner, Sales Manager for Germany, Austria and Switzerland at HIMA, explains: “Our smart safety solutions feature high flexibility and are ready for use right out of the box. In the context of modular automation concepts, our SIL3 systems not only ensure functional safety, but also enhance production profitability. In part that comes from drastically reducing installation and commissioning expenditures, and in part from making it easier to adapt production processes to changing user needs.”

With the “Smart Safety” approach, the family-owned company in Bruehl (Germany) is focusing on changing customer needs in the era of digital transformation and positioning itself even more firmly as a technology leader and supplier of choice for smart safety solutions.
