World Class Manufacturing


AIL’s plants are spacious and well laid out. The modern production facilities equipped with CNC machines, Special Purpose Machines (SPMs), Automatic welding machines, heat treatment furnaces and testing equipment for total control of all operations. The laboratory is equipped with latest testing instruments including facilities for PMI and NDE. Gauge calibration facility ensures the correct measuring instruments are always used in production shop as well as in sub-contractor’s place. To keep pace with the market demands for faster deliveries and customer service the AIL operations are fully integrated across three plants through SAP R/3- ERP system.

Cutting-Edge Technology


AIL’s Research &Development Centre carries out product design, analysis, process evaluation and simulation. The design engineers employ state-of-the-art facilities available in-house such as Pro/Engineer and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Pro/E is a computer aided design software, which enables engineers to design in three dimensional environment rendering the whole process flexible, faster and error free. In the Top-Down Design approach of Pro/E, the components are interdependent and hence, the design is associative and truly parametric. Pro-Mechanica is the Finite Element Analysis tool, which runs in synergy with Pro/Engineer. Design optimizations are carried out after completing the 3D modeling. Stresses and deflections are verified using structural simulations.

 

 

The design techniques and concurrent engineering practices employed by AIL, reduces the cycle time in new product development. Prototypes of new products are put through stringent endurance cycles and through destructive test like fire test wherever applicable. A well-focused team of qualified engineers work closely with end users for developing customized products be it in Low temperature services-Cryogenic, Fugitive emission , power plant valves or any special requirements.



Human Resources


Even in an era of technological advancements, AIL puts people first by recognizing their value to propel the company to greater heights. AIL’s strong belief of total customer satisfaction and competitiveness manifests in its HRD policy.
