Why partner with us?
Focus
Developmental Testing.
Homologation and
Certification.
Both Homologation and
Product Development
All activities, teams and
resources at ASI are focused
towards only one objective:
Faster Product Development
A phone call
away
All engineering delivery is done from
our facility in Bangalore. Flexibility of
our team members will ensure
minimum response time.
Large scale operations,
Inefficient workforce
and slow processes likely
to affect overall
response time.
Engineering delivery is
handled by overseas
teams.
Product Development is
inherently full of uncertainties
and we are the quickest to
respond.
Cost
Effectiveness
Local delivery ensure local cost.
Furthermore, our internally
developed tools and processes allow
us to automate a variety of activities.
Flexibility leaves a lot to
be desired.
Cost effectiveness is not
a strength here. Best bang for buck.
Experience and
Competence
We have delivered turnkey projects
starting from electric smart two
wheelers to a family of Bus Body
Structures.
In house teams have not
participated in product
development processes.
Limited information,
benchmarks and
database on Indian
market/road/consumers.
Developing products that are
best suited for your target
market.
Bus Body Engineering
Safety, comfort and higher performance requirements are pushing the industry towards better engineered buses.
Competition in the industry is rising and this calls for more efficient development and manufacturing processes.
Banking on the experience and capabilities developed at ASI while delivering turnkey bus body development projects to leading players, ASI is your perfect partner for development of next generation bus bodies and for setting up complementary manufacturing processes.
Automotive Testing Our Capabilities in testing and data acquisition has a force multiplier effect on your internal product development teams.
Our Capabilities in testing:
• Road Load Data Acquisition (Strain, wheel displacements and all relevant parameters)
• NVH Testing
• AC performance testing
• Industry leading signal processing and data analysis tools.
Following aspects set us apart from competition:
• OEM trained testing team.
• All instruments used by ASI are duly calibrated.
• Industry benchmarked SOPs for testing and reporting.
User Experience Benchmarking We conduct a series of over 70 tests, measuring all aspects in which a user interacts with a vehicle. This gives product planners a bird’s eye view of the market and forms the basis for product positioning.
Brief overview of the tests:
• NVH benchmarking: Up to 20 Locations inside the cabin.
• Effort measurement: Steering, Pedal and others.
• AC performance: Cooling gradient at various locations inside the cabin.
• Vehicle dynamics measurements
• Seat performance: Measurement of seat pressure map in various drive cycles and road profiles coupled with our in house tools for comfort and support ratings.
• Fuel Efficiency Testing: Development of duty cycles and measurement of real world fuel efficiency on a large number of cars at very high efficiency.
Automotive Product Development
As more and more companies take up complicated product development activities, our simulation and testing capabilities are the perfect compliment for your in house teams.
Please refer the subsequent slides to know how we can support in your next ambitious project.
Your product knowledge
Coupled with ASI engineering
support
Efficient Product Development
with least Capex and lead time
The philosophy of approaching every problem with both simulation and testing methods simultaneously enables ASI to:
• Deliver more accurate results faster.
• Validate the solution through actual field testing.
Simulation using advanced Software
suite and field measured input for
the simulation process
Testing using our Data Acquisition
system supported by advanced
software tools for NVH and durability
analysis
Quick product development by harnessing CAE
and testing techniques
simultaneously
Our Approach
Testing enables engineers to give accurate inputs to
simulation tools for reduced no of
iterations and more realistic results.
More accurate simulation enables
faster products development with reduced number of
prototypes.
Our role in overall development process
Benchmarking
•Vehicle and sub-system level benchmarking of NVH, Fatigue and other properties for target setting.
Support for more accurate FE Models
•Property measurement activities like Modal parameter extraction and Composite laminate ASTM testing etc.
•Test-CAE correlation
• FE model updation based on test data.
Prototype Testing and validation
•Testing of prototypes against previously set targets.
•Gap estimation
Troubleshooting
•Testing and simulation activities for noise and vibration control in existing vehicles or sub-systems.
• Field failure root cause identification and solution.
•Analysis of vibration behaviour of structural parts using CAE and testing tools for design modification for compatibility with specific engines/transmission/other operational inputs
