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
