HIMA and Mangan Software Solutions partnering in safety lifecycle digitalization

HIMA, a global leader of safety related automation solutions, announces a global partnership with Mangan Software Solutions (MSS), a leading functional safety lifecycle management software provider. Powered by Mangan’s Safety Lifecycle Manager® (SLM®) software, HIMA is offering a TÃœV-certified cloud-based platform that provides digitalization of the entire functional safety lifecycle.

“We are especially privileged to partner with Mangan Software Solutions (MSS), whose digitalization solution closes the loop on managing the safety lifecycle. Our customers will now have the data to prove that they are reducing risk by the appropriate amount for the minimum Capital and Operating costs, and will be provided with actionable insights to optimize how they manage functional safety within their process. I am confident that, through this partnership, HIMA and MSS’ collaboration will help to optimize the safety of the process industry worldwide, both within HIMA’s installed base and for our new customers" says Jörg de la Motte, CEO at HIMA.

Process Safety and Functional Safety is more than just hardware, software, testing and metrics. Taking an overall approach and instilling a culture of safety requires a complete end-to-end system. This includes digitalized lifecycle management, from initial Hazard Analysis through Operations & Maintenance to final Decommissioning.

Powered by the Safety Lifecycle Manager® (SLM®), HIMA is offering a holistic digitalized safety management solution. Safety related data, generated by all stages of the functional safety lifecycle, by disparate systems, is collated in one, relational platform. This facilitates the customer the ability to optimize safety performance across a plant, complete facility, or enterprise, as well as being able to demonstrate auditable, continuous compliance with the relevant standards for Functional Safety.

This new solution will address customer needs and concerns by providing key performance indicators and reports, giving unprecedented visibility and assurance that the process risk controls are being effectively managed before an incident occurs.

"The combined team of HIMA experts and the best-in-class SLM® platform will transform the Process Safety and Functional Safety market,” said Steve Whiteside, President of MSS. “We are proud to be a key component of HIMA’s Lifecycle Services and the Lifecycle Management Solution, which will form the foundation of digitalization safety related strategies for many organizations around the world.”
