HIMA's Smart Safety Test Boosts Efficiency at BASF's Zhanjiang Site

HIMA's Smart Safety Test is streamlining safety procedures at BASF's Zhanjiang Verbund Site Project (ZVSP) in China, improving efficiency in Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT), Integration FAT (IFAT), and loop tests. The solution, part of HIMA’s SILworX® engineering tool, automates testing and documentation, reducing manual effort and enhancing accuracy.
Initially, the FAT and IFAT were conducted manually, revealing the need for a more efficient approach. The automated solution now ensures comprehensive testing of static functions and complex start-stop sequences while generating test evidence automatically.
The collaboration between BASF and HIMA engineers led to a new testing and verification framework, optimising test quality and identifying minor deficiencies early. This resulted in faster FAT and IFAT processes, reduced documentation workload, and improved compliance with project specifications.
Peter Sieber, Vice President, Strategic Marketing, HIMA Group, said, “This project is an excellent example of how close collaboration between a user and a solution vendor can create added value at project implementation and operation. It is also a prove of HIMA’s commitment supporting clients in making the complexity of functional safety more handable.”
Encouraged by the success, BASF and HIMA are now exploring the use of Smart Safety Test for loop tests and automated proof testing in plant operations.
