About Waldemar

After graduating with a degree in Automation Engineering, I started at HIMA Paul Hildebrandt GmbH in 2008.

For the first two years, I was involved in numerous commissioning projects as a Service Engineer and worked as a troubleshooter worldwide.

Over the following 11 years, I contributed to numerous customer projects at HIMA in various roles.

I found the most joy in programming HIMA systems with SILworX®. I have known SILworX® since version 1 (2008) and have accompanied and partly shaped its development process since then.

The enjoyment of programming, combined with many years of experience in the field of Functional Safety according to IEC 61511, has led me to focus my independent work on SILworX® programming for the process industry.

    January 2021 - Today (5 years and 5 months)
    Programming safety-related application programs for the process industry is a demanding and time-consuming task. You must not only meet the numerous requirements and regulations of the SSPS manufacturer and the IEC 61511 standard but also ensure that all changes to safety functions are transparently and completely documented.

    We understand that you may not have the time to delve deeply into all these requirements or that there may be a lack of understanding of Functional Safety among project participants. We also know that it is often difficult to obtain qualification certificates from your suppliers for safety-related work packages and that the work on these packages is not always sufficiently documented.

    Therefore, we offer you a solution: We create safety-related application programs in SILworX® for you in accordance with manufacturer and standard requirements and accompany you as a reliable partner through all life phases of a safety-related application program according to IEC 61511. We also ensure that you receive standards-compliant documentation of our work, which you can integrate into your Functional Safety Management. All this is done on the basis of a defined cost framework.

    Let us master the challenges of Functional Safety together and make your process plants safer. Feel free to contact me here on LinkedIn to discuss your situation.
