IMAGINE a PIS / CIS system that is built for the future and built to last

Do you want a system that builds on proven standard blocks?

Which builds exactly to your needs?

With balanced advanced features, optimum life time, cost advantages and easy upgradeability?

If you can answer yes….

… you need to look into FOCON’s latest PIS / CIS platform. A platform we built on “customer’s voice” and smart thinking. With the help from key industry people, passengers, train builders, operators and consultancy companies we have acquired an in-depth insight into current and future needs within rolling stock and built our newest PIS / CIS generation around it. With our smart thinking we built it in a standardised way as proven building blogs that may be built into exactly your requirements.

Not only is it proven, it’s also easily upgradeable over time. You may start with a basic PIS system and in an easy approach later upgrade with our advanced, yet cost-effective infotainment system, route-follow system or other special features from our standard option packages.

Our IMAGINE platform is not just a standalone PIS solution where you may add multiple options of your choice, it is effectively supported by a strong, customizable, aftersales concept InMotion ensuring optimum up-time and life time cost, by maximizing availability of spares and service with proven products of high reliability.

FOCON stands today as a market leading solution provider whose core capabilities are integrated solutions consisting of total project management, software programming and software-friendly hardware. Our new platforms are IP-based and include among others options such as infotainment, CCTV, and disruption messaging.

As a member of Luminator Technology Group, and IRIS and ISO certified we offer proven processes and global presence for the rolling stock market. We cover solutions from LRV (Light Rail Vehicles) over Commuter and Regional trains, Metros and Undergrounds to High-speed trains.

We offer an excellent choice for those seeking solutions for the future, solutions that may be scaled up going forward and which may be run with a highly competitive level of life time cost. Our choice is well-liked by our extensive reference list of both leading train operators and train builders.

Let us challenge you with our smart solution – you can’t IMAGINE all the possibilities that open to you.
