Advanced Structures India
An engineering firm that deploys Cost Labs powered by our proprietary technology, xcPEP and xcPROC, at leading manufacturers, delivering target costing, competitive benchmarking, cost reduction, and digital transformation outcomes across 6 industry verticals worldwide.
An engineering firm deploying xcPEP-powered Cost Labs at leading manufacturers. Target costing, benchmarking, cost reduction, and digital transformation across six industries.
Specialized Engineering for Complex Challenges.
ASI is a dedicated cost engineering firm. Our team consists of mechanical and process engineers, metallurgists, electrical and electronics engineers who bring direct manufacturing experience to every project. We prioritize deep data capture from drawings or parts, detailed industry proven cost models and advanced analysis capabilities of xcPEP to deliver cost engineering outcomes.
We don't just provide insights; we build the infrastructure that allows your team to maintain those gains long-term.
- Teams staffed by generalists
- Cost models from database benchmarks
- Deliverables are reports and decks
- Capability leaves with the team
- Tools are internal and non-transferable
- Teams staffed by domain engineers
- Cost models from physical measurements
- Deliverables are functioning infrastructure
- Capability is permanent and in-house
- Platform is commercial-grade and scalable
Execution
Our engineers work at your facility, on your products. Every cost model starts with a physical teardown.
Technology
xcPEP is a production-grade software platform and not a limited internal tool. xcPEP is in use and is operated by leading manufacturers across industries as a SaaS.
Sustained Capability
Trained team, tools & processes remain with you. Your engineers continue independently. ASI provides on-demand support whenever required.
Our Locations
IIITB Innovation Centre HQ
Our headquarters for operations, software development, data research, and other business functions. Home to the primary ASI Cost Lab equipped with precision instruments across 8 capability areas and two proprietary data capture systems.
When on-site deployment is not required, projects are executed from our Bengaluru headquarters or through the nearest vendor base in our validated network.

Cost Lab Deployments
For commissioned engagements, we deploy this same infrastructure at client premises. Dedicated cost labs are built around your product line and operated collaboratively with your engineering teams.
Explore the ASI Cost LabTrusted by Global Leaders Across Industries
From global OEMs to high-growth startups, engineering teams rely on ASI for cost intelligence that drives real procurement and design decisions.
Strategic Outcomes
Four defined engagement types. Each built on physical verification, engineering-grade cost models, and domain-specific manufacturing expertise.
Target Cost Analysis
Engineer the ideal cost structure for new products before they reach procurement. Build cost targets from first principles.
Competitive Cost Benchmarking
Teardown and cost-model competitor products. Understand exactly where you stand on material, process, and overhead.
Cost Reduction Studies
Identify and quantify savings across design, material, and manufacturing. Every recommendation is engineering-verified.
Digital Transformation
Deploy xcPEP within your organization. Trained teams, configured tools, and validated processes that remain with you.
Delivered Across 6 Core Industries
Our methodology is industry-agnostic. New verticals are onboarded as demand requires.
Our Products
Purpose-built software for cost engineering. No off-the-shelf tools.
xcPEP delivers real-world accurate, transparent and defensible should cost analysis of mechanical, electrical and electronics components from drawings or physical parts.
Explore xcPEP
xcPROC is the centralized database engine powering xcPEP. Each database is meticulously curated by a dedicated data research team to be region-specific and time-specific.
