About Scomi Rail's Product & Services

As a complete strategic solutions provider for the rail industry, Scomi Rail’s hallmark is its end-to-end capability in providing a comprehensive, customised solution for customers across the globe.

As a key player in the industry, Scomi Rail offers urban transportation solutions by providing the latest technology for monorail electro-mechanical systems and the “rolling stock,” which refers to the traveling component in a rail system.

Our expertise consists of providing full support services such as feasibility studies, consultation, design, planning, implementation, project management, operation and maintenance advisory services and systems’ training. As a world-class best practice organisation, we adhere to international benchmarks in ensuring the quality and professionalism of our offerings.

Our range of services comprises:

 

Monorail Design and Engineering
Leveraging on our expertise in design and conceptualisation, we have the capacity to design monorail systems for any major city in the world in accordance to international standards. Our second generation prototypes are built specifically to meet the needs of not just today but tomorrow’s urban cities, taking into account the need to comply with Asian market needs while showing considerable potential to be used in non-Asian markets.

Scomi Rail has obtained a "Certificate of Compliance" from an independent certification consultant for its latest prototype, which demonstrates our commitment to deliver quality products and services to our customers.

In providing cutting edge solutions, we leverage on our talent in R & D and adopt new technologies in design and engineering with the goal of constantly producing better prototypes for the future. Ultimately, we wish to offer our customers a superior product with lower acquisition and maintenance cost as compared to the current market.

  Monorail Manufacture
With our ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facility in the Rawang Industrial Zone, Malaysia (30km from Kuala Lumpur), we are able to undertake in-house production and system testing.

This advanced facility enables us to manufacture, repair and assemble various "rolling stock" and parts for the rail industry; for the production of our in-house monorail designs; and other types of rail vehicles of potential partners.

Our comprehensive facility is fully fitted with high-tech equipment necessary for the various manufacturing needs. It includes a 5-face machining center, various cutting machines including a 3D laser-cutter, electrical discharge machine, Mazak lathes and milling systems, plastic injection machine, robotic arm welding center and a variety of metal working machines.

In addition, our manufacturing facility also serves as a testing centre where prototypes and finished products are placed under stringent testing methods to ensure quality meets set standards. The testing facility includes a 1-km monorail test track built around our 22-acre land for in-house testing and improvisation.

  Electrical & Mechanical Systems
In ensuring the safe operation of trains, we have the capability to produce a world-class signalling system designed for human and system protection from possible accidents. We embrace fail-safe principles and proven signalling technology, including an Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system to offer a scalable and expandable system that grows with client’s requirements. This ensures continued relevance of the system and significant cost savings in addition to:
     Passenger safety and comfort
     Operational reliability
     Minimal maintenance
     Low operating cost

  Power Distribution System (PDS)
Scomi Rail also develops Power Distribution Systems (PDS), which is designed to operate with all mainline Traction Power Sub Station (TPSS), which supplies power to the monorail system. Through a fully insulated power rail, the PDS supplies power to the:

     Vehicles
     Passenger safety systems
     Required electrical power to facilities such as the power supply, traction power, SCADA
      and auxiliary power

Adopting parallel connections, our self-designed PDS is able to deliver improved voltage regulation. The parallel connections provide alternate feeding paths to the vehicles, spreading the load more evenly among substations and increasing the system receptivity to regeneration.

  Communication Systems
A wide range of communications systems are needed in a successful mass transit system to ensure that passengers are informed, comfortable, safe, secure and confident about operations of the network.

The Communication Transmission System (CTS) provided by Scomi Rail integrates the following rail sub-systems:
     Telephone systems
     Radio systems
     Public Announcement (PA) systems
     Passenger Information system
     CCTVs
     Security door access
     Fire alarm and prevention
     Data networks
     Automatic fare collection
     Master clock

  Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system is designed to provide real-time remote monitoring and control over the operating status of sub-systems in stations, power substations and depots from the system Operation Control Center (OCC).

Our SCADA system is modular based and allow for scalability and high level of customisation and availability. It is configured to comply with established international standards for ease of future integrations, expansions and replacements.

The configurations of the SCADA server carried out by Scomi Rail ensures redundant configuration, which provides interfaces to the following sub-systems in standby mode:

 Communication Systems:
    - PABX system (alarm monitoring)
    - CCTV system (monitoring and control)
    - PA system (monitoring and control)
    - Radio system (monitoring and control)
 AFC system
 Fire alarm system
 Security alarm system
 Master clock

  Automated Fare Collection
An end-to-end system that completely automates the process of collecting fares; issuing and checking validity of tickets and collecting sales and passenger data, by operating virtually 100% without human intervention. The system reduces the possibility of human error and security issues such as fraud.

This also ensures a reduced headcount to minimise fixed costs and by operating as a closed system, tickets can be recycled to further reduce cost while remaining environmentally friendly.

Scomi Rail’s AFC system comprises:

 Analyser Dispenser (A/D), operated by the station attendant, or Ticket Vending Machine (TVM)
   to issue tickets
 Automatic Gate (AG) to ensure ticket validity when the passengers cross over
   to the platform, to board the train
 Central Computer System (CCS), through the Station Computer System
   (SCS), to receive data generated from terminal units, and aggregate
   sales reports and passenger data
