HIMA SIGNS RAILWAY INDUSTRY
CONTRACT IN INDONESIA
Independent provider of smart safety solutions, HIMA,
has signed a contract with Indonesian rail supplier
PT Len Industri (Persero). The Indonesian company is
state-owned and produces railway systems, including
railway signal systems for the native rail industry.
Under the contract, HIMA is to upgrade the safety
technology at 25 railway stations in Indonesia. This is
HIMA’s most significant contract in the rail industry in
APAC so far. Last year, HIMA expanded its Asia-Pacific
business and established a new regional headquarters
in Singapore.
HIMA’s Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) safety
controllers are designed to be a cost effective option
which also comply with the stringent SIL 4 level in
accordance with CENELEC, the European Committee
for Electrotechnical Standardisation.
A major factor in awarding the €1.8m project to
HIMA was that HIMA equipment uses open source
communication architecture, making their controllers
simple to integrate with other equipment and to
configure, and because of the company’s total focus
on safety technology. This open architecture allows
PT Len Industri to integrate HIMA’s technology with
its own legacy systems and with technology from
other vendors.
HIMA has developed COTS open architecture safety
controllers so that system integrators and end-customer
can integrate the technology into their own safety
systems, independent of other providers. The controllers
are designed to be easily installed and quickly supplied
with spare parts. Due to its modular design, COTS
equipment allows users to scale their safety system as
needed and to easily meet future requirements.
GUERNSEY
FIRE & RESCUE
RECOMMENDS AICO
Guernsey Fire & Rescue
Service is fitting Aico Smoke
and Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Alarms into homes on the
island as part of a campaign
run by the Service to ensure
homes and businesses are
made safe.
Guernsey Fire & Rescue
Service conducts a risk
assessment of every property
before deciding which alarms
to fit, also taking into account
the occupiers.
“Those considered most
at risk, including the young
and the elderly, may require
extra protection so we will
fit additional alarms in those
properties,” said Martin Lucas,
head of fire safety at Guernsey
Fire & Rescue Service. “We have been running a free smoke alarm programme for eight years – thanks to sponsorship
from prominent island companies – but decided to swap to Aico following issues with the alarms we had been fitting.
“This year we are really pleased to be able to include CO alarms for the very first time. These will primarily be allocated
to people over 65, who are known to be most at risk from CO poisoning. We’ve already seen a huge uptake of CO alarms in
the short time we have been offering them.”
A wide range of Aico alarms and accessories are now being offered free of charge by the Service including 10-year
optical smoke alarms, CO alarms and alarm kits for the deaf and hard of hearing.
Guernsey Fire & Rescue Service is also keen to promote good practice when it comes to alarm installation,
having hosted a large Aico Expert Installer session which trained over 50 people from the Service, electricians and
electrical wholesalers.
